He also saysWe're quite a young team regardless of what fans or pundits say,"

I wonder if he has some false birth certificates because we only have a few players that are u/23. Don't know what his definition of young is, for me a young player is someone between 18 -21 which if we use that benchmark we only have Knowles who has played a couple of games this season.

I've noticed his choice of words a few times now when he feels he's under fire a bit. He takes a bit of a pop at the fans. Other coaches will say things about understanding the frustration of the fans and that they've let them down etc but not KC. He talks about us like we are stupid and don't know what we're talking about. Somebody needs to have a word in his ear because we'll simply stop turning up at games and we'll have more 2/3's of an empty stadium turnouts like the Challenge Cup game.

The average age of the squad that played on Sunday was 25.

From every interview Ive seen and heard, the body language etc, it just seems there is a bit of an air of stubborness which is one of the worst traits you can have as a coach.

It's another daft piece of PR by Cunningham, but I think he's right about our team's age/experience. The overwhelming majority of the squad is in its early to mid twenties, and we only really have Wilkin and Roby who you would call seasoned pros. A couple more experienced leaders would make a big difference to this team IMO (Paul Gallen would do nicely ).

I don't think we're especially inexperienced if you look at each player in his own right, but I think we do lack one or two of those players who have seen it all and done it all over a long period - the kind of player that is looked up to by his teammates.

I agree. We do need two players that have been there and done it. Warrington played a master stroke getting Gidley for two seasons.

I feel a good experienced prop who is a leader is a must for next year. Someone who stands up when back against the wall as comes up with them shots that lift the team.

we best roll out the red carpet for Mose then

Wouldn't surprise me if we brought that pudding back. He's our for full season so he will be pushing 30 stone next year so will be just typical of us to bring him over.

Will you pick him up at the airport, if you do don't use a Nissan Micra.

Need a trailer to pick that pudding up

I know I've quoted myself, but Daryl Powell would be great. If ever there was a saints-esq coach: it's him.

Not only the way they play, but he is a proven coach who knows how to build a team and improve his players.

He's not quite flavour of the month for some reason.

He is a yarkshire lad and probably the best home grown coach in SL.

Why the hell would he want to come here to this mess?


Got to say, and I'm not bigging myself up here, but I said from day 1 that appointing KC would end in tears.
A legend of a player does not equal a great (or even average) coach. Out of his depth unfortunately.

He's got better players at Cas, I would have thought Leeds would go for him when the time comes. Powell still needs to find Plan B though when things get tough in those big games, his teams are very inconsistent in defence and are the worse team in super league for points against.
