Agreed he wasn't anywhere near as bad as Millward, that's hardly high praise though. Doubt it was interference, just a lack of attacking nouse/ability to motivate I think. Having a young pack and dealing with injuries hasn't helped of course.

to be fair he had a better squad, not signing the Bothams, macdonalds etc

I don’t think for one moment that he was worse than millward
Millward took the team to the point of relegation in 2006 and the year before that we got tonked twice by 145 points in 2 games
Lammy has not in his whole time has he got the team that low and from what I gather I don’t think even radders liked his style of coaching and therefore left or I should say was forced out
Lammy may not have been a brilliant coach but he was a long way off being as bad as millward

also Lam never had to play against the quality of that Saints and Leeds team. That saints team would put 50 on this one, was a proper class outfit

Not making videos again is he?

I hear that a new Marketing Director has been appointed and she starts in a few weeks

Hopefully she will drag us into the 21st century and start to target the under 25’s

I thought I’d forgotten about that but subconsciously It was always there for me I think.

I believe since Peet’s appointment things are changing rapidly not just playing staff and coaches.

From tomorrow there will be lots more community activities involving the players going forward which I believe is being driven by Peet. A meet and greet with the players at Bryn Labour club tomorrow afternoon with weekly such as this activities being planned throughout the year.

It’s early days but as a “doubting Thomas” (the under 60’sgoogle it) things are starting to change within the club.

The club has got to embrace the fans after a few difficult and pretty pointless seasons and get back to basics. I’m not expecting miracles with what is still a squad of too few proven experienced pros but initial soundings form Peet (not Wane) is positive

His family lives in Australia so, no I don't think it's that.

Nothing wrong with the quality of the squad he inherited he just drove down standards and made each and every player worse. Not to mention his insistence on square pegs in round holes.




How does one person get so many things wrong on as consistent a basis as you seem to do?

Nothing wrong with the quality of the squad?

You only need to go back to around the time Wane was appointed Head Coach to see the difference and how it has declined to the level of the last three seasons or so.

No players of the calibre of Bowen, Carmont, Deacon, Finch, Green, Hansen, Hock, Hoffman, McIIorum, Richards, Roberts, O'Loughlin, Sam Tomkins, etc,etc

There have been the odd better class signings like for example Bateman and Hardacre and the re-signing of Leuluai to keep the supporters happy!

He's easily worse than Millward and by some distance too. IM was a bad coach, with an even worse team. Lam was a dreadful coach with a decent enough team that he made worse. Two former MOS on the pitch, a Daley M 2nd row of the year + other internationals and they didn't score a try Vs Leeds (twice).

Millward did not have to contend with the financial problems and Covid that Lam had to put up with over the past three seasons or so and where on earth have you got the idea that the squads of the same period have been decent squads when the the quality and standard has been dropping every year since around 2013.

When Millward was Coach, we nearly got relegated!

Nathan Peats has ended up in the French Championship. Surprised he couldn’t get a gig in the Superleague, I’m guessing he wanted more than teams were willing to pay him?
