No. The question is what does Walters have to acheive this year to be acceptable taking over from Potter. The much lower table finish with a better squad requires a good run in the Cup (fail) or a GF appearance.

If we had finished 6th and made the semis I would have been happy. If we had had a good run in the cup I would have been happy. The bottom line is that we have plummeted in the table, done poorly in the cup and won two playoff games. It's not as good as we did in the last two years is it?

Didn't you get to the last four last year? Walters has done the same this year in his first season. Fair play to the bloke in my opinion.

To me, showing the consistency to finish 3rd is much more than a decent playoff finish.

I'd rather do well in the playoffs, ideally getting to the final or winning the thing than consistently finish third. Each to their own though.

Like I said, making the final would be better, but we won't beat Leeds, so we won't make the final and we will look back at this season as 8th place finish + 2 wins.
Which ain't that good.

Didn't you also say Wigan had 'not a chance in hell' of beating Hull KR?

[quote = "belgianxiii"] Comme je l'ai dit, rendant le final serait mieux, mais nous n'allons pas battre Leeds, donc nous ne ferons pas la finale et nous jetterons un regard sur cette saison que le fini 8ème place + 2 victoires.
Qui n'est pas très bon. [/ Quote]


ca reste un match de rugby et tant que la sirenen na pas sonné dans le stade on ne connait pas le gagnant. les catalans ont une chance de gagné leeds et nous ne nous en priverons pas,croyez moi

on verra bien mais avec ton raisonnement ce n'est pas la peine de faire des phase finale.

Well I think they have their chances. I think the game will be closer than many expect.

but the consistency has been harder to come by and there are a million reasons why. I feel you arent giving other clubs like KR, like Hudds or Wakey the credit for their improvments either.

To look at the stats we have only won three less games than last year, our for and against is pretty similar too

So now the season is over... Kevin Walters stay or go?

For me stay
