Sorting out the Strength and Conditioning is absolutely vital for next year. Little wonder we look so unfit and suffer so many injuries with the current set up. Our Head of Strength and Conditioning used to be the Sports Scientist. Now I may be wrong but surely they are completely different things.

The rumour is the players pay privately for their own treatment , as Pearson never replaced the departing Head Physio, and also the Head of strength & conditioning.
Tony Smith pointed the finger of blame, at Pearson for " lack of resources & support"
The structure resembles a championship club.

There are no 'apologists of the club'. Most people are rational in their views. You are the outlier.

you say there are no apologists of the club
Then you say most people are rational in their views
so the ones in between no ie none and most are the apologists then

That makes no sense whatsoever.

That's exactly what a club apologist would say.

The club should get the lad in for a visit and a treat. Best try at the MKM this season!

Think it puts into context how bad Hull are, that Cas are 19 points better away from home. That was two championship teams out there today. No offence to Championship sides.

Standard in SL is worse than ever which makes it all the more frustrating. Only Rovers and Wigan have been consistently good. There havent been many neutral games ive watched id remember in a yearts tmes

Throw in the constant video ref, players acting to get cards, empty stands and flat atmosphere at most grounds, and its become a poor watch

Totally agree. Honestly think our 2017 team would walk this league.
Super league is a really poor watch at times now. Especially when you’ve watched NRL beforehand.
New NRL teams will only make matters worse I think. They’ll pick off the better super league players and the standard of import will decrease in quality even further.

I think most of us support our club and are a "critical friend" rather than a club apologist. I'm always of the opinion that you can criticise as much as you like providing you have a valid point and offer a suggested solution/alternative option. It strikes me that the "We're rubbish, I'm not going anymore" brigade (although it's their choice) reflect current society, are part of the problem and as bad as the “half arsed" players attitude (great motivational quote in public Coach Grix) . It's cyclical, these players will move on and over time results will improve and we'll have a team to be proud of again. Us, the supporters, are the constant. We pay for the privilege of going through the mill season after season. But when the good times come back and you've stuck it out, boy dies it feel good!

Re: On to Cas : Sun Sep 01, 2024 10:21 am  

I keep getting told Grix will be going nowhere next year. Under contract, I’d get rid personally.

Re: On to Cas : Sun Sep 01, 2024 10:26 am  

Having time to digest yesterday I'm still baffled as to what game we play as a team, it resembles rugby league but misses almost every key facet such as skill, energy, ability to tackle, to play as a team, its just complete poop and a complete mickey take of the fans that this has been allowed to happen. This is worse than the Hodgson team buy a mile and that was bad.
