No aggression
No Leadership
No pace
No Size
No long time recruitment plan where we get the best of the best available.Like we used to when Dean Bell recruited the goldens.
Limited skill but no overall game plan but with the squad you have available the best of the best Aussie coaches could not polish this turd.
Hope our new Director of rugby is given the full Autonomy to do his job.

It isnt that long ago that everyone on here wanted Ian Watson, funny how he isn't even mentioned anymore

If Arthur can get our team fitter and better skilled at even the basics then I don't see that as a problem.

Rowley has been coaching for a long time. If he was actually that good, why hasn't Wire, Saints or Wigan come in for him before now? Genuine question.

I suppose you could say the same about Brian Mac.

I wouldn't be gutted if it was Rowley, and it would of course be the most obvious conclusion. I just don't know if it's a convincing appointment. The quality of the overseas signings we make will be criticial, and it's an extremely tough market now. Having a coach with good contacts and reputation over there isn't going to hurt get one or two deals over the line.

Be very interesting to see how we play tomorrow.

Indeed a very interesting question. Trouble is at the moment not many outstanding coaches are available . Not forgetting who will take over until the season end, that’s presuming we can’t find a permanent coach in the next few weeks. Whoever takes over will face a massive challenge, half the team are extremely average to say the least.

A coach with a proven, sustained pedigree in top flight RL, no nonsense, with a record of bringing players through. Preferably available now, as filling on an interim basis basically writes this season off and puts us back to square one at the beginning of next. Step forward Brad Arthur.
