Considering every game available on TV somewhere the attendances are pretty healthy across the league.

I was surprised that the attendances remain reasonably healthy, especially as the weather has been atrocious.

Maybe a coach who thrives where, with all due respect, expectations aren't as high. He'd be under pressure from some here from 5 games in.

Does anyone subscribe to League plus. Rhinos have been the featured match 6 out of 7 rounds. So there games have not been available for 48hrs or sometimes longer….complete waste of time/money. I subscribed as I do not have Sky and due to health issues have not been able to attend away games and all but one home game.Very disappointed won’t subscribe again.

All coaches here are under pressure from game 1 here some even before a game has been played. That’s what we are good at on here!!

Most post should be under the heading Rubbish, second thoughts maybe Nonsense is better as posters maybe confused thinking Rubbish refers to how we are playing and not some of the threads are about.
Also threads on Marquee players should be under maybe Marquee Players!
Does anyone have any thoughts about Rowley?

Played well above his weight as a player and with limited resources is proving to be quite astute in finding good players and galvanising them and the team as a whole seem to perform well for each other a good modus operandi,arguably the best British coach at the moment on a shoe string.

Furner seemed a great fit…!

Good Coaches ?

Agar was a failure wherever he coached
Furner was an assistant and then had a failure as a head coach
Smith was an assistant and then head coach in the Queensland cup comp

So no coaches out of the last three that could ever be said to be good coaches

Compare our appointments to Saints appointments and tell me again why they are light years better than we are over the last 10 years.

I remember posters saying the same about Watson.FWIW I do rate Rowley.

Agar coached us to a CC, and Smith got us to a GF. They weren't, and aren't necessarily bad coaches. Timing seems to have more of an impact as much as anything else. Sometimes, you can have a good coach, but they're not the right person for the job at that particular time.
