| Quote: Juan Cornetto "Here we go again! The usual suspects that went after BM since his first days are at it again. The simplistic logic to always blame the coach when things are not working continues. You would have thought they would have learnt something from our ex coach who produced a record breaking number of Cups despite the constant carping from his critics.
The main problem has been the failure of GH to invest in the team over many seasons. Ironically Mac's ability to produce results with an ageing squad well past their peak may have led GH into delaying serious recruitment. But when Sinfield, JP and Kylie retired we should have gone for some quality replacements especially as Mags and Burrow were soon to follow. These players were good enough to make other average players look better than they really were and with the likes of JJB, Delaney and Albett slowing up too we have been exposed in defence as well as attack.
It was wrong to blame BM for everything and naive to think changing the coach would solve the lack of quality recruitment. Under Sinfield last year the performances deteriorated even further despite some 2nd rate mid season recruitment..
Furner as brought in and finally money splashed out but it is too soon to say if these are the right signings. We are where we are and going after Furner fails to understand the difficulties of coaching players that are just not up to it.
He has not got the power up front in the pack and has not been able to use JJB, Ablet, Crosby and Golding due to injuries and has lost Ward his best defender. His three big signings arrived overweight and have not yet made consistent impact. Watkins has not looked match fit and we have had a very tough set of fixtures most of them away.
The coach will be assessing the players performances and will now know the weaknesses. But he must be given time and money to get his own balance in the squad.
The one on one tackling shown by all the players is just not good enough and we still need an organiser at half back and 2 big props.'"
Great summary of where we are atm

Sutcliffe (who id release tmw) yet he was behind giving his mates Jjb & Ablett new deals both blatantly past it but you see as some kind of improvement if fit.
Id also question the recruitment of L.Briscoe & Donaldson.
This squad has major problems & Golding wont solve any of them as admirable as his attitude & versatility is.'"
Yippee....we agree on something. and yes JJB and Ablett are well past there best and like Golding would at give 100% effort.

| Golding is available to leave the club, if the right offer for him comes across. This was confirmed by Pete Smith on YEP

| That might be true, but it would be a mistake in my eyes if so.

| I'm not fussed about Golding, and at this stage concede that it is probably in everyone's interests for him to leave the club.
I agree he has the right attitude, and has been good for us defensively in the past (esp. 2017). Last season, however, his defence was not as good as some would make it out to be, and at times he seemed without much confidence.
There's maybe an argument for giving him a wing spot over Handley (or FB if Walker and Lolohea get injured), but this isn't going to fundamentally change much. Never mind hooker, it's a shame Golding's not an organising half-back, that's what we need (his pace and enthusiasm would be assets).
