Yes, it does say that. However, it does seem a little coincidental, doesn't it? One thing is for sure - despite his reputation it's hard to spot any obvious achievements in his time at the club. The squad seems injury prone, physically weak, and poorly conditioned.Yet another who just hasn't worked out.

perhaps his instructions from rohan smith were to prepare them for pace and agility rather than put muscle on.
just a thought as that was smiths game

And if there were any trace of pace or agility it would be a source of consolation. Can only hope that there is a plan in place, with Arthur and Blease as the authors.

Walters getting some stick on the Wigan board this evening.

Can we stop trying to blame RS for the world’s ills for two minutes? Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t, we don’t know. If he did there’s very little evidence of pace or agility in that side!

I keep coming back to my point that you can’t polish a t*d, and I think our recruitment is at the root of our problems. Article on love rugby league today which I don’t agree with in terms of conclusions, but it certainly isn’t a list of players to set the pulse racing.

Rowley has decided to stay at Salford, apparently

Could go sour for him there. While he had some good games at Leeds and some eyecatching moments his numbers were always on the low side suggesting there are question marks over his workrate. The Pies won't stand for that. Hope it works out for him as he has the size and potential ability to be a major star but not sure the head and the heart!

I did say possibly.
and while you can't polish a turd it helps if you have a coach who actually does know what he's doing. still nice to see some still rate him

If so, we need to get cracking and tie Arthur down for at least a year. Could soon be a number of coaching vacancies in SL and if Wellens does get the chop at Saints they will be a big attraction.

Could even see Holbrook returning to Saints that is if Briers doesn`t take over.

Whilst I agree you cannot polish a t*rd.
I do think some of his signings have been questionable which hasn`t helped his cause.
That and his passive defence were his undoings.
Most coaches however would have been delighted to get Croft and Ackers into their team.

They’ll go at him coz he’s ex Leeds……

There will be a number of reasons Pies give him stick. This isn't one of them.

Hull kr releasing Matt parcell to bring in Mickey Mac would anyone like him back?

We have more than enough coverage at hooker.

We need props, quota spots are better utilised in that area
