Always had my doubts about Calland and he`s about as quick to apologise a Gordon Brown.
Sickening really when we were going so well and we have got some good players but we seem to be a good time team with a coach to match.
My doubts started when we lost at home to Shefffied and afraid I rate Mark Aston as a much better street wise coach able to get the best out of his players who on paper are not of the same quality.
Mind you watched Barra and Widnes last night and neither side looked anywhere as good as we did earlier in the season.
Wonder if Dave Larder has inherited any of his dads coaching and man management skills?
You never know but we could all be pleasantly surprised by a sudden turn around but I wont be going to Batley or Leigh which I would normally and I boycotted last nights match as well.
Might just go down the Shay to see them seal second place on points by battering Toulouse and stepping on to Grand Final glory with a win up in Cumbria. We can live in hope!

One thing that does interest me is that I understood that pre-season training was geared towards peaking at the end of the season. The evidence so far seems to suggest it hasn't worked.
