Happened to be seated one row in front of directors last night. All were present as well as Karl Fitzpatrick. If they were concerned with our 1st half performance they hid it well. Don’t know what was being said in box at halftime.
As for the game Aidan Sezer for me is a standout old school half back who we should be trying to entice. Head and shoulders the most skilful player on the pitch. Has a free role and doesn’t stick to structures. Follows every play the ball and demands the ball when he see gaps that can be exploited.
A trip to the bookies for me. If he stays fit he won’t be far off Man of Steel.

It probably went something like:-

Karl: ‘Mike (Lomax) tell Pricey we’ll go the Bluebell after the game now we’re getting tonked, it’ll be quieter than the Rodders’.

Mike Lomax: ‘Alright Karl I’ll let him now mate’.

It wasn’t solely the Sezer show, Gaskell and Edwards were very influential with what was going on around the team.

You know winning the CC in 2019 might have been the worst thing to happen to us. 3 years wasted ever since. Had we not won it we’d be sat here enjoying some great attacking rugby and we may have even won a Grand Final or two.

You're right, beating Saints in the Cup Final was terrible.....

We have limped out of the playoffs twice since then and lost in the cup twice as well with pitiful performances. The opportunities to say goodbye have been there, I've said before it's not prices fault he genuinely seems to be doing his best but it doesnt work and the change should have come at least a season ago. We were awful leading up to and after that cup final as well let's not forget.

While I can’t agree with the sentiment of us winning the cup was a bad thing, regardless of the outcome of the final against St Helens, the club have had ample opportunity to get rid of Price regardless.

Even if we had of lost, I’d bet he’d still be in charge now anyway.

It was absolutely brilliant on the day. One of the best weekends I’ve had in years but we have suffered as a result of it absolutely no doubt about that.

I may or may not agree LTS, and it may have been the right thing to do, but sacking Price following the Cup win would not have guaranteed success

Nor would us not winning the cup guarantee his sacking either.
