May as well start the thread now cos whenever one of these threads get started he seems to turn the rest of the season round.

In all seriousness tho credit to him for getting us to two grand finals but I think he has taken the club as far as he can and its time we strated looking to replace him.

Agree wonder if Nobby would consider us?????......................Oh wait its fax were talking about here massive lack of ambition.

Super League????? i dont believe were ready why should the RFL?

Not too sure about that but something somewhere is going wrong, Perhaps the players need to buck up or F"$£ off, Ageing players just looking for a few more paydays before being put out to pasture.

Clayton, Ratu, Smith, Gannon, Frank would be people i would let go in a shot now, find some enthusiastic players looking to make a name for themselves. Look at fieldhouse, total class act that lad and shows it everytime he plays for us.

Agree Gannon, Frank and Smith look well past there best imo

Mate I agree its rare a coach stays much longer than 3 or 4 years. I feel a new coach is needed soon as its not just that we are getting beaten, we are struggling to get bonus points!! Poor discipline, Poor defence, poor basic skills and tactics. We cant go on much longer as things stand. The recruitment this year has been very poor. I cant think why we even thought of signing Gannon, Clayton and Smith. I think we need a strong coach who will take no rubbish and one that can atleast help us defend. Heard the defence was pathetic and frankly a joke at times today.

We seem to still be playing like last where we're happy to concede points but know that we'll just score more. We've lost roystan and brannigan from last season thats over 40 tries so its not gonna be the case this season

Remeber we made cut backs so could't expect quality signings but the players we have are not performing

calland you have had your time its time to leave

I don't really want to be jumping on the 'Calland out' band wagon but I must say it's starting to get worrying.
And really, with the players we had for the last 2 grand finals we should've been there, but at the moment i can't help thinking how unstoppable we could be with a coach like Harrison or Powell. I'm probably stating the obvious there.

I do like Calland, but i really expected a win today, especially with our performance against fev. In the 1st half we were fantastic and we didn't disgrace ourselves really in the 2nd. Losing three games in a row is pretty awful, but maybe too soon for a des/barrow reaction.

Leigh will take us apart next week if we don't do something drastic

Fully agree with everything there.

Don't get me wrong I like Calland and appreciate all hes done for the club. But something needs to change.

For me a little different angle to look at:

We are missing the "Dave Larder" / "Dave Wrench" type player - cool head and great knowledge of the game. Someone to control what is going on.

Jim Gannon for me is not that man but I feel he could be an asset used correctly. Use Joe Chandler with Bannister as 2nd Row with Sam Barlow at Loose but look at new props.

We are still missing Nash too. Greenwood has the "IT WILL TAKE A YEAR TO RECOVER" injury too a la Paul White. Look at Whitey, much better player this time around.

Make Bob Beswick captain and let Penky run!

IMO if i had the choice i honestly would not have signed any of our current forwards Prop or second row for this season not one of them is good enough imo.

We have lost 2 fantastic Athletic props at this level in Siad and Moloney and weve replaced them with Chandler who imo has good potential and Gannon its just not good enough.

Barlow has been poor this season hes on a big contract and i think we have let our hearts rule our heads on that one.

theres no-one there to put in the hard yards like Wrench and larder did last few seasons.

would maybe like to see Nash there at second row but i have been told this morning he didnt come back to training untill after pre-season had finished has put no hard yards in as of yet and is over a stone over weight.

Weve been too sentimental in our signings trying to give old boys one last swansong Gannon clayton frank holly jones to an extent smith barlow haley all not good enough.

Retain Fieldhouse ,greenwood, goddard, nash(if he can get fit), Patto, Big rob, maybe white, bannister, Black, Penky and bob and even yound chandler, maka and ostick rest can fck off.

get in a decent 6 ,13 and a couple of second rowers and props never happen at this stage of the season with the cap but this should have been looked at in preseason so frigged off atm

Same old story. All the things we are bad at we never improve and the rest of the league have worked out how to play us. Too slow, no ideas, no leadership, paper thin defence, no positioning, no discipline and no pride.

Calland needs to go now instead of waiting until we crash out of the NRC yet again. We may as well go to Toulouse with Bally in charge as it cannot make our chances any worse.

The team cannot defend and are utterly ineffective in attack. On the few occasions when they don't all stand still and flat at the play the balls they are predictable and bereft of ideas.

Why is it that so many players come to Halifax and become rubbish? For example, Sheffield were mad as hell when they lost Worrincy and then Barlow to us. Who amongst them would have them back now? I was praying that Barlow would get sent off today as we would have been more effective without him and conceded fewer penalties. He is just a thug and walks into every tackle.

The only players today who were other than clueless were Holly, Jones, Beswick, Aizue, White and Chandler. I have been one of Penky's biggest fans in the past, but I am afraid that he has lost it and needs to call it a day. We should play Beswick for 80 minutes as he is a far more effective hooker.

im scared were gonna be humiliated on national television
