Since Delaney moved to the BR he Jjb & Ward have been flogged when fit & picked when clearly not fit are you saying with all your expertise spreadsheets & Coaching Acumen that hasn't taken any effect whatsoever?
Really and have we had injuries all this time?
Rotation can be used simply in games less minutes on the pitch & utilise your bench or alternatively use one of the youngsters.
Your ignorance to pick & choose your opinions to suit your man crush on Mcdermott & his flawed methods are laughable.
Now before we get into a tit for tat yes i called for his head & was proved wrong & yes backed Suttcliffe as a 6 but jesus christ you never get it wrong do you?
This can do no wrong stance has little relevance now.
Delaney is batterd if it wasnt his facial injury it would be a knee an arm or some other injury that prevents him completing a season.
At least Ward has time on his side the others are done.
Why do always resort to emotional insults when I point out a few facts which present a different point of view.
I have already said that I think we need to recruit a top back rower. However the constant blame for our poor performances cannot be just put on our declining back rowers, who as I have demonstrated in practice have put in as good, if not greater, effort than the likes of younger new recruit Thompson and the younger Ferres neither of whom are worth a place in the side.
Although Burrow was replaced my Myler, our main weakness has been due to not replacing Sinfield, McGuire and Galloway. So we have not had a game manager or a reliable kicker to win tight games and we have been under strength at prop. Our lack of fit props has changed the whole dynamic of our game meaning we have been weak in the Centre field in both go forward and defense which has meant our older back rowers have been overworked as stand in props. Parcel has also suffered in this respect. Add to that Moon's lack of form until recently and having no centres and you start to provide reasons for our decline other than the simplistic blame the coach for everything.
Sinfield has been in charge now for two months and there is no noticeable improvement despite having more fit players to call upon. Had everything been BMD fault, as you claim, then there would have been an immediate bounce back. Sinfield's struggle to get the team to perform well against some very second rate Championship sides rather points to a lack of real class in the squad as being the main factor.
