Have we got past the point where Calland can turn things around? My gut feel is "yes" but if we lose the next two games, there can be no doubt.

Sorry old bean your way off the mark, we have lost 4 this season, are out of one comp, have played poor in every game, and played poorly apart from the Play off semi against Fev last year for most of the back end of last season, ever since Toulouse to be precise. We cant defend, we have no structure, no discipline, no freshness, an aging pack and if were not careful crowds will start to dwindle and we will become mediocre.
I watched every game last season, most the season before, missed only Sheffield in the NRC this year, theres a lot of fans on here that are not negative, but are at the end of their tether with giving up time and money in pursuit of watching some good rugby league. We've seen good times and bad times, through thick and thin, seen us lift trophies, relegated, gone bust, reborn, been through it all, we know when things need freshening up, on the playing/coaching side. were very stale, short of ideas, and while we thank the board for everything they have done and support them in the future, a lot of people feel Matt has taken the club as far as he can, he's learning his trade, but unfortunately were not a finishing school for aspiring coaches, we aim to be a competitive club and win things. Good luck to Leigh, Fev, Sheff, Widnes and Barrow, were more concerned with what were doing, and the product on match days might be entertaing for neutrals, its currently very visibly poor. Its becoming an expensive time consuming chore and not entertaining in the least, dam frustrating.

Ok 4 still not the end of the world.You have played well in some games, and did not look too bad against widnes, and was it batley on sky?Thought you played some good rugby.I thought you where all happy with some of the older players, like gene and aizue. At the start of the season you all thought you would win the league?

Its the manner of the 3 last losses amongst other things. And the signs were there last year and nothing has really been done to change the problems.

I have nothing personal against MC, I have never met the guy but I'm sure he gives 100% but something surely is lacking in his coaching skills. Almost since day one I have never felt his appointment was `right' A bit like JV at the footy club - it was just never meant to be! The way some MC supporters are saying give him time or the rest of the season to come good is almost beyond understanding. I am sure if you look at all the first class games MC has coached we have consistently leaked 25/30+ points per match, so what is happening now is nothing new. He has never in his time managed to sort out the teams from a defence point of view. Great attacking play but v poor at the other end. OK the team got to the GF and it was a great day out for all concerned. I suspect that a factor in the demise of MC is that other championships clubs (in comparison to us) made dramatic improvements in terms of playing resource, tactics etc in the last couple of seasons. This has contributed now to a very close and exciting league. For Halifax and the rest the gap has narrowed considerably making the coaches role even more difficult and demanding (probably the pivotal difference between winning and losing?)
I sense this is why his limitations are becoming more apparent and obvious. To say what is happening now is a blip is highly delusional. Also take with a pinch of salt contributors from other clubs who post messages who say stick with Calland!

Let's look at this objectively. Since we won in Toulouse, we have played 20 competitive games, won 9 and lost 11. That's a 45% success rate, which may have been considered okay had we been playing Super League teams. However, let's face it - there wasn't one of those twenty games which we should not have been capable of winning. If we can't win the next two games, there isn't a single credible argument for keeping Calland, other than perhaps "we can't afford to sack him" and even that is extremely debatable.

I think that was the reason at Bradford, that he's earmarked for the England job so he'd be leaving on his own terms anyway.

It's a bit unfair to pan every new member that expresses an opinion that's not in line with that of the consensus. If you don't like someone (or rather theor opinions) you can add them to your 'foe' list in control panel and you won't see their posts. Leave the rest to the mods.
