We will never move forward until the decisions at the top improve, which means GH has to go. Getting a new coach is just papering over the cracks of what is systemic failure throughout the club. GH's major rugby decisions like transfers and coach selection have been poor for about 6+ years, at this point it's just boring and played out. We can't move forward until someone with a better hit rate comes in. The only success we have will be fleeting because the man who is continually making poor decisions is the one trying to correct them, we're constantly trying to out run GH's mistakes. The biggest competition to success we currently face is internal within the club.

We can appreciate all that GH has done for us, but now he has to step back and put someone else in charge of major team decisions if we actually want to move forward and compete again.

Similar sentiment.

The problems seem to run deep and go all the way to the top. Rohan is being blamed for the poor performances, but he is being allowed to fail the club and not being supported with sufficient recruitment.

GH has had his day, he needs to step aside and let someone new take the reigns. I've got plenty of respect for what he did in the mid-90's onwards for the club, but he is getting stale and it is affecting everything else.

One thing that struck me as odd about this week's presser was when Rohan was asked about Luke Brooks. His answer was something along the lines of "I can sleep easily when I say I know nothing about that." I did wonder if that was code for GH doesn't tell me anything.

It doesn't quite work like that, though, does it? It's reminiscent of the chants of 'sack the board' back in the 1990s. Fine, get rid of these people, and then what? Who do you replace them with?

Will he make a public apology today for that performance, but still back Smith.
The supporters deserve one.

There should be a public apology statement from the club and also state what they are doing to sort it. I'm surprised there's not been one already..

Hetherington needs to act now, get Smith out of my club now and bring someone in who actually knows how to coach.

Yesterday was probably the lowest I've ever felt as a fan. Wakefield truly are the worst team in the history of SL and we lost to them convincingly.

HETHERINGTON OUT

If that loss yesterday to the worst SL side in recent years who were down to 12 men does not produce a strongly worded statement to the fans including what they plan to do to change this mess then Hetherington needs to resign before the weekend.

Yep Trebor
The silence is deafening at the moment.
I imagine he does not know what to say as there is no way he can justify that performance or back up his coach now.

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg



It's been a good number of years now since Gary has pulled off a signing or a coaching appointment that has got us to sit up and say "wow that's a cracking addition". We've been shopping in the bargain bins now for years, and that's really showing and there's only one person responsible for this.

He's been brilliant for the club, we have the best club owned stadium in the league, he saved us from our darkest depths with Paul Caddick, but his last 5-6 years is littered with bad decisions on the Rugby front. It's time for him to step aside from that aspect and to focus on the business side, bringing in someone with the knowledge and energy that he had for the Rugby side when he took it over to be DoR.
