| JC-I'm not just blaming the coach but the structure ,selection and tactics come from him and Lowes don't they?
Of course the players shoulder their share of the blame and lets be right ive not said they should be publicly hung or burnt at the stake as witches.
Also who says Singleton won't do just as well as kylie or be good enough to at least fill the gap left by a rested JP?
We won't know weither unless we give them and others a chance and i think selection been guaranteed irrespective of form is wrong.
This season we don't have the JP and Mags long term injuries and we certainly are worse defensively.
You may accept it but i don't think it's good enough for this squad and once again IF we win the CC or reach either final that won't disguise how poor we have been will it or make it ok?
I was chuffed to be proved wrong last year and for me just reaching each final was a great achievement let alone winning 1 and looking so good for an hour in the other.
Again i ask how many poor games are acceptable if you have past success?

| To be honest its nice to have a positive poster on here. I'm kind of split on the subject though, i think while McDermott needs to be questioned for the performance (opposite to what the OP thinks) i agree with him that the criticism shouldn't go into abuse territory. Healthy and non-too-personal criticism is ok, going onto booing during games, name calling and disrespectful comments i think is unnecessary.

I believe Swiftcorn got a bit of a ban following an argument on the VT with an Aussie about Aussie Rules Football and claiming he knew Australia better than a guy who lives there. Don't know if it applies to here though but his absence is greatly appreciated.

It's not really a case of getting sucked in, as others have commented it's remained a civil discussion. I've always been notoriously poor at identifying the men behind the 'characters' but agree it's likely to be one of the regulars.
Either way it's provided an outlet for some frustration. Will it change anyone's view - I doubt it.
rhinowinorlose probably still thinks Henry Paul wasn't replaced at the Harlequins and that he was always a leading role model off the field : news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 038590.stm
I'm guessing the Quins were just grateful he wasn't the chauffeur driver behind the wheel of that Mercedes S280.

If you choose not to engage in that kind of debate, it's your loss. It offers a hell of a lot more to this forum than a lot of the drivel that passes for opinion on here.'"
Agreed. It's a discussion forum, this is a discussion. Does seem to wind a few people up though - not sure why.

| I think in short they players have to take the criticism for the way they play and they shouldn't be exempt from criticism but equally the manager has to take some blame for the standard of play and tactics used in the game.
