I think we're that bad people aren't laughing anymore. There's no fun in pointing the bleeding obvious out.

Disagree. Why do they have better players than us? Why is it not the coach? How do you benchmark that PT? You can’t just talk down everything everyone says because it doesn’t fit your narrative. This is not a forum for discussion is it? This is supposed to be a democracy, just like sport is and has to be a meritocracy.

I didn't mean it wasn't the coach. Just meant it wasn't only the coach.
But are you saying our players are as good? Some maybe but overall not in my opinion. Leigh recruited well, in both players and coach.

And I didn't say you couldn't have your opinion. It's very valid. I just answered a question.

“Top Dogs” we haven’t beaten anybody this season. It shouldn’t need our incumbents to sack the coach, you would think by now he would realise that the job is just too big for him. We are all supporters but some of us do not like the fact that those responsible for the club have turned us into a laughing stock and ignored what we all could see with the squad they believed could make the 6. I suppose they could have been referring to our average points scored per game.

It’s becoming clearer that Apelgarth probably isn’t ready just yet for the head coach role. Probably best thing would be to bring in a strong and experienced good coach for a few years for Apelgarth to learn under as assistant.

I know I'm probably feeding the beast posting this but it is what it is.

Proctor played 35 minutes yesterday at prop.
Tackles 23 missed 2 - 92% success rate. Not bad but could be a lot better.

However. In 35 minutes he took 3 carries. And made 11 metres in total
And gave 2 penalties away.

He's not the only poor performer but as marquee signing he needs to be a lot better to earn any kind of respect from team mates.
He is just not up to it.

Apelgarth will never be good enough to be a S L coach .Never played the game at top lvl . He as no idea how fast S L is .He is just a coach that is good with a blackboard and a piece of chalk .

He did play at the top level for a few years with us. I do think though he can be a SP standard coach but he spent his year as assistant learning under another inexperienced coach. Needs to do a few years under a strong coach.

Thats shocking, the bloke is taking us for a ride.

As a side note his partner was plastering Perpignan pics & videos all over instagram. Do we know if all the WAGS went or was this game just another nice little stop on the Proctors european tour?

Re: Squad for Friday : Sat May 27, 2023 8:56 am  

Shame to be talking about the rugby again! The takeover seemed more interesting.
I’ve just cancelled my hotel in Newcastle,
Proctor and Atoni will give Jarrod Hickey some perspective. Didn’t Hickey score at Headingley?
Feeling sorry for DF already. Hiding to nothing really.
In all honesty, MA needs to be moved aside. We are an embarrassment to the game.
