Sorry I didn't expect top 4 this years squad was always too shallow but bottom with that squad one win from nine??? don't give me the guff that the coach and coaching team are blameless like all teams/ business's the coaches/directors put a performance plan in place in line with the annual budget. Anderson has rattled on relentlessly about top 4 and Grand Finals so if that wasn't the objective what was because Anderson bases his credibility on telling it as it is !! Someone's got I wrong probably several someone's !!

The players were more than backed by us fans yesterday for 80 minutes and this is a forum for debate and airing our views both good and bad.

Don't lay this on the fans look at the reaction by Warrington fans if they drop off or when we beat them last year that wasn't how it was yesterday the team were supported to the bitter end and I am surprised by your comment if you were there !!

I'm sure the lads really appreciate hearing - "you're nothing special we lose every week" and similar.

And your definition of success is what.

If you consider finishing as one of the top 4 teams in the country 3 years running as 'failure' then you're expectations are way higher than mine which is fair enough but i'm sure most fans would consider his record since taking over to be more of a success than a failure.

This year is an exception, we are playing poorly and struggling at the bottom , we haven't done that for years, we have constantly been up at the top and seen as challengers.

Paul Anderson can only be judged on what the club has done while he's been in charge and his record shows he's not done too bad, certainly not bad enough for him to be called a failure !.

Like i said it's all down to opinion and expectations.

The comments on the guardian website are pretty spot on, and much more beside

Re: Anderson to collect his P 45 ? poll : Mon Apr 04, 2016 2:56 pm  

Voted no.
Progression is a marathon, not a sprint. That's Andersons progression. This is the first time Anderson as a coach has had to deal with a season like this. We might struggle to get top 8 but he'll learn from this.
The 3 years of hard work just to be tossed aside and let someone else have a go would be a bad judgment call.

For those who voted yes... Who do we bring in to turn things around?
Do you really think it'll get us wins?
Long term will we be better off?

Who's available to get us out of this slump and turn us into grand final winners, because Anderson got us one game away and a league leaders shield as a rookie head coach. Who can do better?

Wire fans might be reading this laughing and wondering if they sounded this silly last season when Tony Smith had a big bad run. Bet they're glad he's still on board.
Point being, nobody turns into a bad coach over the off season.

What's up Jools looking to smash the fans instead of the team ?? Or do you not like anything outside your book of phrases ??

The team were well supported yesterday unfortunately yes the team was way off where it should be and to the people who find it a struggle to pay the £30 to £40 to get to Cas and watch and support it can be frustrating as they have worked a day to spend that money on the Giants.

If you won't accept criticism of certain players and the club when it's fair back off the fans because that isn't remotely fair they have to pay to be there not getting paid to be like the players and coaching staff !!
