None he was told to get on his bike before the game

My view - No tactics, no motivation, no leadership, no enthusiasm.

Other teams have prepared for the buisness end of the season, i thought we were meant to be doping that but doesn't look like it. Think we looked better than we really were at start of season, cos we were peaking then and other teams were still developing.

Now it comes down to working for the results, we havn't got it. Don't look fit enough and completely outdone tactically. Other coaches clealry watch the way we play, have learnt how to minimise our threats. Does MC watch other teams and try to work out how to beat them or stop their main plays. Maybe he thinks he doesn't have to cos we are a country mile above them.

The body language is saying it all. Look at the way we come on the field, look at how we went off at half time, and compare that to Sheffield.

2 year contracts to the coach and the key players and they haven't performed since (Tolouse apart). Other players just not seeming up for it, e.g. Shad at FB, says its his best postion, he's been awful (better than Miles - you must be joking!!) Only Haley is putting effort in week in week out.

The quality of player is there, but you need tactics, motivation and repsect for your coach, team mates and the opposition. we lack it all

Why do we constantly underachieve and fail to deliver when it matters? I'd rather play at a constant level throughout the season and build towards the playoffs then suuffer the indignation of the lst few weeks. Calland should do the honourable thing and hand Rhino the keys to his office.

We are failing at the wrong time again, 3rd season running, aaargh.

I must ask Penky one thing, stick to running with the ball you are costing us a least one try a game mate with your cr+p passes to nobody.
Great player but that pass into touch - why?

Oh and lets just accept Andy Bowman is not good enough end of story, drops off tackles and is too small, that knock on well?

Cost us the game those two tonight.

The coach isn't missing one on one tackles, the coach isn't throwing shoddy passes around, the coach isn't capitulating under pressure. There's something not right but i don't think sacking Calland is the answer.

I also think that this season can be salvaged-it's not over yet!!!

Absolutely.

For all you people calling for his head, who do we replace him withn and what magical powers are they bringing to the table.

Get a grip folks we're still second in the league, how the hell is the "season over"?

If we'd have been offered second in the league at this point at the start of the year, above Widnes, with games in hand, we would have taken it for sure.

Grow a pair and back your team. The vast majority of you were kissing Callands ass three month ago now all of a sudden we're in a slump, getting rid of him is the answer??

Wouldn't suprise me one bit if the board bowed to pressure and did get rid but it would be the wrong decision in my opinion.

You're right - we seem to have the most fickle set of fans ever - we might well be all be bi-polar! there's not one team in this (or any) league that have played consistently at their best for an entire season.

Time to be tested as a team, time to be tested as a fan. Stop trying to find a scandallous story behind this slump and lets focus on getting this season saved. IT'S NOT OVER YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
