Coaches get too much praise when things go well, and too much criticism when they don't. My issue here is that it's time to change the record after so long in charge. There is no guarantee someone else will do better, but if we don't try we will never know.

The only thing we do know is that it's more than possible to continue succes whilst changing players & Coaches the facts speak for themselves.
GH needs a reminder of how all this success was built i.e recognising when players & Coaches have out lived their shelf life.

This sort of performance and result IMO suggests that as (IIRC) clearwing said - we're simply not as good as we think we are. By 'we' I mean the players. When they put the right effort in they go pretty well. But they are nowhere near good enough to cruise against any SL side. It really is that simple. Losses like this show we could do with a few fresh faces on the field, but they're also far too common over the last year or so for the coach to avoid all responsibility.

Whatever BM did to get ready for Wigan was great. Whatever he did for this game sucked.

It seems to happen mostly in games where we're playing badly? Maybe there's a military element of doing fatigues as punishment for playing badly? Just a thought.

Around the 25th minute of both the semi-final and last night Jones-Buchanan is out on his feet. Perfectly understandable as he works his arris off. What is harder to understand is the coach's inaction when he has fresh troops available - similar posts have been made for several seasons.

JJB is one of the most admirable people I have come across in RL. Seeing a once great player struggle like last night was painful.

Goes to show he can't play 2nd row anymore. Was moved to put Ablett at loose and didn't work.

He didn't go anything. Apparently.

Completely agree i will also add moving Jjb to Prop when he brings a BR on doesn't help either especialy when he's already done 25mins+ at LF.
Ablett for me shouldn't be starting at all.
