Give over. On what sane basis can anybody say that?

The guys done an absolute shocking job with our under 20's since been put in that position.

Don't really like piggy Lowes and always had a soft spot for Willie.

I don't like Lowes either, I think he's a turd. But however good guy Willie was, he was a shockingly bad coach. His record clearly shows that.

One things for sure, if we end up top 4 next year the coaching we have brought in will have done a fantastic job. Yet anyone would think we will be lucky to make top 8 with the way they have been written off.

I still remember Lowes making that gesture to Leeds fans .

I still remember Ellery Hanley doing something similar also in his Wigan days.

Should we have not signed him aswell?

I can think of a few reasons why I wouldn't have gone for Lowes, but sticking the fingers up at some dipsticks is not one of them.

but Lowes did it as an ex leeds player Hanley up to then never played for Leeds and had endured a lot of stick from Leeds fans.
When player's leave clubs that they have served for a number of season's they dont usually go over the top with celebration's if they have any feeling for the club.
Having said that I am preparedto give Brian macdermott a chance and trust his judgement up to now
