Quote: Judder Man "I think we are approaching into a period very similar to Leeds last year where you are expecting things to get better but we are going into the "bottom 4 creep" situation. When Smith comes back we will definitely have a better kicking game but its doubtful it will make the likes of Peyroux, Wilkin, Douglas, Lee etc play any better.

For me, sadly we are probably looking at a 70% Lomax from now on, his footwork and lack of speed against tighter defences is not going to be influential as in the past.
.
KC is so bogged down and stubborn in his own beliefs now, I reckon after Easter we can probably see that we will have too much to do to ensure we are in the top 8. For me once once Smith comes back we need to remove Wilkin and Peyroux out of the team and put more energy and honest effort into our back rowers. Our pack in reality is a front row and 2 wingers, KC has believed in this for a season and 4 games now, its embarrassing but the opposition will quite content for it too continue for all the season.'"
It's a shame we are like this post Nathan Brown. After the disaster of Royce Simmons and Mick Potter I truely beleive Brown had brought us through the other end of transition stage. He had brought in better players and got rid of the players that was letting us down and we won a grand final.
On the back of the grand final, we didn't build it on, in fact we took 3 steps back in bringing in a rookie coach. You need to build on success and not go backwards like we did. The most crazy thing in bringing KC in as coach was the fact he'd never ever coached a team. He hadn't done the u16s, u19s, reserves or even any amateur coaching, he was just let loose as first team coach without cutting his teeth in the game.
