He's off to the NRL, apparently.

He can join others failing upwards in McDermott and Agar then....

It feels like there must be something more than just results. While some will say its way too early we've also seen what can happen if you leave a mess too long.

I have to say issues seem to follow Widdopp around wherever he goes....

“At last, a real, Tory budget,” Daily Mail 24/9/22 "It may be that the honourable gentleman doesn't like mixing with his own side … but we on this side have a more convivial, fraternal spirit." Jacob Rees-Mogg 21/10/21 A member of the Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_755.jpg



Cas were dreadful on Friday night. It was typical Radford, a plodding forward coached team. His Hull coached team were the same, but they had the remnants of a quality squad with the individual brilliance to pull off big game victories with un-planned moments of flare. Without Mamo, & with McShane off after a few minutes, Cas had nothing but Miller running round in desperation. Hopefully Last won't won't last.
Widdop was crap but I don't blame him for the overall performance.

Was hopping we went there in 2 weeks and put the nail in the coffin. Awful coach was always odd choice for Cas or anyone to be fair.

How long do we think Applegarth has left at Wakey?

I'm sure I remember reading (or hearing) that he was implementing a new attack strategy in and claimed it may take a 'week or two' to get used to. I can't find anything about it now, and starting to think I've imagined it. Anyone know more?

The Cods aren't happy with Tony Smith, a few more performances like the the last couple and no doubt the pressure will really start to build

They would be absolutely bonkers to get rid of Uncle Tony. (although would totally be a very FC thing to do tbh)

Hes going to need at least a season or two to get rid of some of the dead wood there and truly implement his methods onto that team.

Applegarth is a strange one, have the players just not bought in to these new methods? They didnt look like they had a clue against us for large swathes of that game Friday. There was a real feelgood factor around the club preseason, new stand, players coach etc but thats all gone in the bin recently as reality has arrived.

we're more than happy with Tony Smith and understand that he has a monster job on his hands sorting out the rubbish that was left for him. We have no expectations of anything good for this season but are confident that time will show that we made the right decision in appointing him.

Looks like Leigh getting promoted is turning out to be good timing this time around. icon_smile.gif

The problem is you’ve got him at wrong stage of his career for a complete rebuild and long term plan. His nephew Woolf have been better ! icon_mad.gif

have a wonder over onto RedVee, and you'll see the 1st coach to be sacked
they really do have amazingly short memories some of their fans. 4 weeks ago won WCC, and then they want him gone, and not just one or two

i'm not saying i want a Saints coach to do well, but to call him out after a handful of games is ridiculous, 2 in Oz, and the disrupted return trip. We all know that WCC takes it out of the team, and add in the travelling to and from Oz, there is always going to be a bit of a knock on effect. They'll be there or there abouts come the end of the season, and will think they can win it from perhaps 4th or 5th

you must have some seriously big blinkers on to try and deflect / ignore the morons who follow Saints calling for his head

i have mates who are Saints fans who have been calling for his head on facebook, twitter etc

some seriously short memories about what you have achieved over the last 4 seasons and most recently the WCC
