I think it is very harsh to say MC is doing "crap" at his job. If you judge him over his entire period rather than the last 8 weeks, he has done extremely well.

I agree that there are areas where he always has seemed to struggle - getting the team to play consistently and on the line defence spring to mind. However, until now, these have been compensated by the attacking rugby which MC seems extremely capable at coaching.

In successful businesses, management help those with talent and potential by training them in their weaker areas.

Even if Noble does join, it may not work. However, I admire the board for their faith in MC, and looking at an alternative way to solve a problem.

probably just agreeing his wage for when we get the nod in July, done deal now...

if you listened to his comments during the game yesterday, he sounded like he was already making plenty of notes, particularly about how we defend (or don't defend to be more precise) and he wasn't too complimentary about Holroyd, so his advice there could be interesting. And he was right, we weren't really undone by clever "super league" play, more our own defensive failures again, not communicating with each other, rushing out of the line especially on last tackle when we didn't need to. Hopefully this is where he can help us improve the most.

And he might question why we had a half back on the bench, its as if we expected Holroyd to struggle. It was a waste of a substitution and meant we couldn't interchange more with the forwards. After last week, Holroyd should have been dropped, and we should have gone for either Chandler or Clayton (who could also have covered centre) as the other sub.

I AGREE ABOUT HOLROYD, HE WASNT AT THE RACES YEST, BUT TO BE FAIR HE HAS BEEN ONE OF OUR BETTER PLAYERS SO FAR THIS YEAR, HE SEEMS TO WANT TO TAKE THE LINE ON MORE THAN EVER.

ABOUT NOBBY THO,

STILL NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON CLUB WEBSITE! STRANGE......

IMHO I think Holly should have stuck withhis original decision to quit after the GF and gone out at the top

I agree but when the SOS comes calling! He probably couldnt resist one last outing.
