Not necessarily disagreeing but why not? We seem to be in the process of waiting and waiting until the side is settled, the coaching set up is right, our young players are ready, the older players have gone, etc. Why not wait for Miller too?

This season is pretty much written off now, so why not give him and Rankin time to develop?

My thoughts too .
The dip in form of the side is not solely down to Miller and Rankin .
The dip in form of our pack has coincided with teams poor performances.

The answer to that I guess is because we/AP will only wait so long and then at some point if things haven't improved will get rid and we'll be back to square one , or worse , again and it'll be the same next year and next year...........
Maybe it'll be different this time but our recent history just makes me pessimistic on that count.
Hopefully we're waiting and we'll persevere with these guys until and unless we get a replacement where there's some certainty that the player coming in is significantly better than what we have. With the threat of relegation it's not exactly the thing that AP and Radford can be saying publicly either , much as they probably want to get the fans on side , until a deal is actually done and probably until the season is over or we're safe.

Sandercock made Dobson into a better player by getting him to run more with the ball attacking the line and hitting the gaps.Dobson would break the line several times in a game.
Miller has a bit of pace and should be doing the same and working on his kicking game,but we don't have a coach who brings the best out of players.
Ben Crooks is just one who is going backwards under Radford

Apparently we're 1 of 4 clubs looking at Eloi Pelissier along with KR, Cas & Salford.

What if they don't develop?

Not being funny but if Taylor's not that good why was your Chairman so anxious that he shouldn't leave you for us?

Hudge wanted a transfer fee for Taylor and received a good one from Wigan. Pardon the pun, but we should he invest in Taylor's development and let him go 'Scott' free?!
From what I have heard Mr Taylor has a massive ego, bordering on arrogant. Still, good player though, would have thought Wigan would want to keep him.

He is more likely to go to KR to replace Hodgson

Fair point, and I guess we have to call it at some point. But others have been given time, so why shouldn't they? It's a fine balance, but there are people more qualified than me to make that decision.
