Phil Seymour : Sun Sep 10, 2023 4:40 pm  
Our ex announcer is not holding back on twitter saying Applegarth is a good man and a good coach who didn't sign this squad, my thoughts are these.

Applegarth may be a very good man but it can't be said he's a good coach at this level. Why did he take this job if he had no input in signing the players and if he didn't who did and who recommended them. Did he actually coach the team and was he told to pick players. I hope the lad gets a job as an assistant somewhere, learns and comes back a better coach in the game. The whole situation this season as been one of disbelief, lose game after game leave him in the job, its as though no one cares.
I've read off numerous fans we'd a decent squad on paper, we'd an ageing squad who'd done well in the past for us and other clubs but your not going to get 34/35 year olds playing consistently well every week and they pick knocks up. We let Miller, batch, hall to an extent, crowther, dave, arona leave and not replace with better, it's been a slippery slope from when we resigned Brough from Huddersfield, his legs had totally gone and he'd been a great player, gigot, gaskell it goes on. Did Applegarth improve anyone this season well its hard to see. If it's aimed at the board phils comments then it's shameful interference

I'm not disputing that he's a good man, but the facts really do point out that he's not a good coach

Starts with C and rhymes with barter, golfing buddies to an agent or two who capitalise on his lack of rugby knowledge but inflated ego

Where I disagree with Phil is that he thinks Bennett wouldn't have got any more out of this squad. We'll never really know, but a top quality coach in all sports makes the 10% decisions - the sort of decisions that turn a tight loss into a tight win, or a thumping into a respectable loss.

Some more composure and better tactics in a few of our close games this season might have seen us take something away from them.

That isn't what he meant and I'm sure you know it.
Most of the team were signed before he took the job.

I'm mostly OK with the ones he's signed since here.
Not sure whether Proctor was his. I think it was. That signing turned out to be the worst 'top player' signing ice ever seen.

If we had an experienced director of rugby who knew what they were doing then signings like Lineham, Proctor etc. would not have gone ahead.

I would go one further poptart, I would include every player. I think even Jarrod Hickey was in better physical shape. I have never seen such an unfit player
