I would also like to see who you would choose instead of these players? OK! you have a point about the chips being down but just slagging the coach and players off wont solve the problem. At the begining of the season we would have settled for a top four finish but some of our fans are now thinking we are better than we actually are. We have to be realistic within the constraints of a buget. So please tell me your players?

I don't like slagging players or staff of. But it's the players and staff who keep telling us fans just how good they are in the media. Anyone in the know must cringe at the things that are written or said in the press. After all. All they have to do is perform to the best of their ability and shut the doubters up. Now that can't be too hard, or can it??

Hello, Fuzzy. I've missed you. Where've you been?

I've never left, TS, as well you know

The rest of you, as for getting rid of half the team, don't make me laugh. 50 ...... FIFTY points at home!!!!!!!! Give me a break. Should be all the team. But the buck stops with Calland. He has to go, Faz out? Calland out. Nice bloke, started well, but he's going the same way as many other young not good enough coaches. Remember TA? Sweet dreams.

..............and at full time? Were they booing? Nope.

Just papering over the cracks im afraid. I guess everyone was highly delighted that we had come back to get within a whisker of a team that has put a half century on us at home.
At least in the paper they can say that our performance came out of the blue, who would have guessed we would buck our ideas up and give them a game?

As for the coach well anyone who has watched RL over the years can tell we have being missing a standoff. Govin comes on and we look a different team in attack. Yet when he is out injured the only true stand off at the club is watching from the stands and has been told he wont figure for us this season but hasnt being given a reason why. Penkys passing is crap quite frankly and hes being made to look a complete prat when played at six as for Beswick bring back Alan Platt.
Our pack has gone missing when it matters the most, we bring in a guy whos not good enough for Widnes but goes straight into the team but has shown nothing to suggest why he is keeping his place, guess thats good for team morale.

Calland has had so many foot in mouth moments this season its unbelievable but on his side he is young and learning but since the pressure has being on us the team has fallen way short of the mark.
Anyone fancy putting money on us to win our last four?

I question the Coaching staff when they come out with "Best by a Country Mile"-despite winning bugger all! Other qoutes like "We do not know where that performance came from" Mr Ball in the week and "We have time to sort it out". I am sorry but Fax have an inexperienced coaching setup. We have IMHO too many players not playing in their position- Beswick, Penky at 6, Shad at 13 or 4 etc.

The players are great at off the cuff stuff that looks good when it works but when it doesnt there seems to be no game plan. They look lost without a proper number 6 and a quality kicker who can dig the team out of trouble. Its been obvious for months (Sheffield game) that if teams bully us we have little go forward and little game plan outside of the chip over the top.

Worrincy is simply fast and strong but has problems running straight and is a liability. Sorry but he just does not good enough. A couple of others I think will be gone. We have a nucleus of good players but we need a 6 who is not injured most the season and who can take the pressure of Black and Penky. We need forwards who run on to the ball and at gaps not ones that think they are halfbacks. We need players who can do the basics. We need a leader. Obviously money is tight but thats no excuse for the way the team put in performances. The players and Coaching staff need to look at themselves and question if they deserve to be here much longer as people will not put up with performances like the last 3 games.

Spot on. Too many good players but not a balanced team.
We need good players in the right positions, simple.

I'm sick of all this players and coach bashing all of a sudden. I'm pised off just as much as anyone else but this is a naff spell that will end at some point. The players that are mentioned aree all signed up for next season anyway so if they blob this year they surely wont want to blob again. We were a shoein for top at one stage but I still think that when come the playoffs we will come good again, look what they can do when they focus (36-10) I think it was in that period we dominated they still are a brilliant team. Just need to get that sparkle back. I'd rather glory hunting fans buggered off because they are weak minderd pratts who can't take it when the chips are down.
