Definitely Calland in. I said last week the mark of how good a coach Calland is would be how he managed to turn the team around following the Barrow defeat. We put in a fantastic performance last night, so to me Calland has shown he has what it takes.

He is a young coach who is bound to make mistakes. However, overall we have had a fantastic season, and Calland will only get better.

Mention must also go to Martin Hall. Things really started to turn around for us when he came in as coach 3 years ago and he has undoubtedly been a key player in the turnaround.

I gave Penky some stick last week following the Barrow result. Last night he was fantastic. When he is playing at hooker he's up there with the best in the division.

Oh sorry....a blonde moment!

Quote: dazednconfused "Do some of the 'fans' on here want us to be like Barrow. We could Start calling Michael Steele 'Sir Des J of Halifax', we could then dump Matt Calland after Fax's best season for years, don't forget to keep him on the books, sweeping the terraces or emptying the office bins.

We could then re-instate him a month later when we realise how good he actually has been for us.

GET REAL, Matt has done a wonderful job for this club, as has the rest of the backroom staff. We are not the biggest club, with the most money or the biggest set up to work with, but what we have achieved with the resources we have should be recognised and applauded.

Can some of the doubters on here answer this question?

Who was responsible for a SL player tearing up a 2010 Fax contract and signing up for our biggest rivals for next year?

If you don't know, it was all the negativity that was aimed at the coach and players that was spouted on here over the last few weeks.

We need to get behind this team and support them through thick and thin and make sure the best available players want to be here and not our rivals.'"


Well said and if calland was that bad,why are all your best players resigning?You have done well and they respect him which is important.Goodluck in the final from a widnes fan.You do not want to be like des johnson and big headed.I support you in the final. icon_wink.gif

thanks for agreeing with me, but just to confirm your statement, our best players are re-signing not resigning. At least I hope I'm right and not you.

If a player decides where he is playing next year on the basis of a few weeks criticism on a message board then I'm signing up for the Widnes, Barrow and Man U ones now icon_wink.gif

Seriously though I would say if any player is that fickle then we don't want them, imagine if he hurt his finger while playing for us, we'd be getting sued.

I will stick my head out and say that is wasn't the fact we were losing that got so many goats, but the manner in which we were going about it. I'm glad to say that of all the things I suggested on another thread were done, and low and behold we're winning again icon_biggrin.gif .

For the record I think MC & MH are doing a bang up job and think those who want his head should note that we've finished a place higher than the year before every year that MC has been coach and made our first GF, not bad for a rubbish coach.

I said keep the faith,everybody was calling for Calland to go and praising Cullen.People forget the amount of S.L. players Cullen had at the time on loan.Widnes are now back to square one getting turned over by Fev.Lets not forget Leigh did the double over them before the loan players arrived.
