Why is there even contemplation of Potter's position after only 10 games considering he inherited the side who finished as the worst team in the league last year?

Because we listened to all the nonsense about how 'Steve was doing a great job' for at least 2 years after he should have been sacked. After the last 'endless' fiasco the fans will not show such patience ever again. Losing away at any SL club is no disgrace. Shipping 50 points with 34 missed tackles is a total and absolute disgrace. The fact that there are people on another thread saying we shouldn't sign Leon Pryce beggars belief. Potter took on a small, poor squad. He's added numbers but not much else so far. We're crying out for a touch of quality.

I agree with those who state our pack is not big enough, fast enough, aggressive enough. The props, including Lynch are very ordinary and Olbison, Whitehead and Donaldson are inexperienced. Potter has had no luck with the halves and we have to give them more time but how many times do we have to see Sykes get run over in the centres to see the lad is an average full back and nothing else.

We have to stick with Potter and we have to appreciate just what a shambles he took on but Potter and others have to realise just why there is a collective groan when Sykes name is read out. It's because despite his best and most honourable efforts, he's dreadful.

Potter deserves our support but in return we deserve a bit of respect and we didn't get that on Saturday.

What more can Potter do?
Do you just expect to ring up somebody in Oz, sign some aussie superstrars then we go on to win the league?
It dosent work like that and some of you should stop living in the past where you expect us to smash every team we play.
Potter took on a very poor squad, had to wait until the final weeks of pre season to sign a halfback because of a certain dwarf. And now 10 games in with a 22 player turnaround he isnt doing good enough?
Stupidity....

Quote: bewaresheep "No change to the last few years then?!

Nobby is a step backwards to my mind and, despite his success, I was never a fan of the style of rugby we played.

We've brought in a new coach and a load of new players and the youngsters are still getting blooded and experience which can only be good for the future.'"



Ive never been a fan of tough hard working forwards battering teams into submission and then silky smooth backs finishing tries from all over the field. I know exactly what you mean there.

Quote: Bullseye "I think he needed to strengthen by bringing in Ainscough and Raynor. Ah Van was probably seen as a utility.

Finegan isn't really ready and Halley isn't good enough IMO. Finegan deserved a contract extension as he showed he has potential and Halley is under a deal. I expect Halley stays until his deal is up unless a move can be manufactured in tghe meantime.

I think we're weak in the pack with us lacking an enforcer or two.'"



What's wrong with Scrutes?

Alright as a bench player but we need someone else in the backrow.

The word 'alright' could be used about all our props. I totally agree we're weak in the pack and when missing 2 of our bigger players (Scrutes and Langers) we're just nowhere near strong enough. With Langers out nobody leads the defensive line forward and without Scruton there is no bite to the defence at all. We have players who make tackles and work hard but nothing that really hurts a team. Leon, a top class prop/second row and a left centre are key priorities for next year.
