They can change training schedules all they like, but if players don't have pride in their own performance then it won't make a jot of difference.

But the coach can only work with the tools that are provided to him. In this case, quite literally.

I have to agree coach wise we need an experienced coach even if it is an aussie.

Rowley is inexperienced & with have Kelly I'm not sure what his job title is, but he legged it to union was out of the game for quite some time & strolls in thinking he could make a difference well it hasn't & it won't happen. Yet again we have people who don't seem to be able to get the best out of the players we have.

I can only see it going further down hill & quicker than we anticipated

We have players with NO SKILL, NO PACE, NO SIZE and NO BRAINS.
They are coached to play one man rugby, not support players, lie flat, over run the ball, no dummy runners and think for a few seconds before moving the ball away from the ptbt.

Didnt we announce we have spent as much on these as last years lot which included Doran, Moran, TKL, Wainwright, McAvoy - all of which would play for peanuts of course.

Today I felt so sorry for our 4 props who won that arm wrestle.

The play the ball is much to slow , the opposition knows who its going to before our players do, other teams manage quick plays whereas we look so cumbersome.

McConnell isnt a 9 at this level, Hatton could be and Watson is.

You spoilt this with mentioning Wainwight imo not to mention signing other players past their sell buy date.

Re Mcavoy i posted when he was signed that he was too slow and got slated for it.

It,s no good however talking about what we should have done what the club need to do now is somehow ensure we don,t finish in the bottom two.


Without spending I think we are doomed.

Should I make another post this evening I might post the scary story of the old empty barn. :cry:
