Our team got back from being down to leading 25-24 today, they just went soft by being less energetic than their opponents.'"

Half the Warrington players that weren't good enough under Paul Cullen are now holding down a place in the best squad in SL under Smith. It has everthing to do with the coach.

Quote: marillion man "Anyone who thinks a coach asks players to lose the ball & miss tackles at the rate some of the players are doing is wrong in their heads. Do you think that's what they practice ?'"


No but the coach is supposed to coach them on how to make the correct decisions in defence. MC clearly cant do that.

Its a mixture of both Poor Coaching and sub standard players as well as others who are in the comfort zone.

COACHING wise we have always had problems with Defence, Discipline and having set plays. That is down to Matt Calland. I also feel he is way to close and friendly to the players and why some seem to be in a comfort zone. I dont think the problems have ever been properly addressed and we have around 5 Former players on the Coaching side and am not sure thats good. The Coaching Staff seems to be a Old Boys Club.

PLAYERS also need to have a look at themselves. Failure to make a Tackle, Catch a ball or doing the basics is embarrassing. Everybody makes mistakes, but its how you recover from them mistakes and for me the players seem to be in a comfort Zone and just dont seem to be concerned when making errors. Its clear some players are not of the same Quality of Royston, Maloney, Wrench & Larder. But that does not excuse players failing to put effort in. The pathetic effort in defence is simply not on. If players-no matter who they are cant be bothered then use players who will. We have an U23 Squad and would rather see them play than others who simply are past it or who cant be bothered!

COMFORT ZONE. Fax has a reputation of a drinkers/Social club. Calland has a reputation as being good mates with all the players rather than being a Tactician like a Daryll Powell, Ian Millward. I am not a fan of it and would rather we had a Coach who is not frightened to make big calls but also one who can read the game and change things in a second.

I dont think the fault just lies with Calland. But he brought the players in and he is responsible for performances and results. The players are making the mistakes, failing to do the basics etc. SOme of that is not Matts fault. But a number of things like defence Strategy and game plans are. I just feel that Matt Calland will not take this club further than what he has done. I also dont feel he can change the way Fax play. The same mistakes/Failings have been there since the start, despite which players are brought in.

I have a couple Questions that maybe the Calland followers could answerWhy do we often get outenthused?
Why have we constantly had defence problems under Matt?
Why cant we have a set system in place in attack?[/size

Theres a couple of posters, i say a couple, who make a lot of noise, who defend Matt and Mr Steele continually.

I say Mick Potter for coach, well do a swap with the Bulls icon_wink.gif

As for the players not being good enough, yes they are, they can compete and beat any side in this league. They are not consistent or disciplined though, Matt doesn't drop the ball but I would like to see some 'dull' consistent rugby with a bit of honesty, as Stevo would say 'Its not a tickling contest'

But...... well make a late run, get into the play offs, probably get past the first round of play offs, and well all sit back and listen to Mr Steele and Matt telling us 'its a transitional period' and then go into 'we made the play offs' 'We made the NRC semi's' 'We had a day in the Sun in the Challenge Cup' 'Were building for the future'.... While the season ticket uptake dwindles, the crowd average around 2k and some of the better players move on.....

Were playing the same style we always have done.

Back in Jan.- Feb. not all the fans thought we had signed a bad squad,( unless most of them were lieing at the time). No player who we signed at the time became a bad player over night, so it's something in the water down at the Shay the ground staff or somebody who can't get the best out of the players or see what's going wrong with the team under his control or the lack of it.

To be fair Rich, BRLFC resurgence is down to 1 man and that is our Coach , he has put big time charlies who were not producing the goods in their place and now everyone is fighting for each other as well as thier own berth.

Now I dont get to see the games live, only tune into the radio and watch the vid later etc but just go on our forum,we were clueless, unfit, unable to foolow a game plan, did weeven have a game plan, big timers going through the motions etc this was only 3 weeks back............now Mr Wright has had enough time to stamp his authoirty sp we are transformed, is that just a coincidence .........I think not.
