13554.jpg The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

| I suppose looking at it the only things FC & SM have in common is that they were both young Head Coachs starting at the Bulls, lot of differences otherwise.
1)FC has had a better and longer apprenticeship than SM who was dropped into the top job a couple of years to soon.
2)FC is starting from ground zero SM Started with the law of diminishing financial returns
3)FC has a small but stable squad of Players SM due to item 2 was losing good players in the Team on a regular basis and not able to replace like for like
4)FC has an experienced Assistant Coach in Lee. SM had two very inexperienced assistant Coachs in Lee & Basil and that was one of his biggest mistakes
5)FC doesn't have the weight of Fans expectations on him at present. SM had the full load and when your in an avalanche you don't always know how fast you are going downhill!
Theres at a lot more to it but at the end of the day it's a result based Industry and that how FC will be judged!

I once played out in the pennine foothills. After a game you were gagging & often downed a shandy before hitting the ale. One of our lads ordered a pint of shandy, the barman said "No-one puts lemonade in my beer lad". Beer it was.

| ...FC after 11 games is definitely OK. manages a small squad, lack of props, injuries, brilliant motivation of Sammut to score a mere 30 points. And even if he had the full cap to spend, I believe he would still buy carefully, to fit his plan. So for now I am looking at the last 9 fixtures, 6 of them at home, ok some top teams there, but playing like this there will be some great games and hopefully attendances.

| If we keep going like we are we can only get better and i think we will give wigan a real go next week (heres hoping), other teams seem to fall when they come knocking but think we have in built resilience atm and if we can get into them like leeds and hudds did should be a tasty encounter.
Looking at the remainder of the season think we should do ok to make the PO's could be 17-2-9 the way we are going, also happy that we havent been on the end of any tonkings yet 36-10 vs saints and 30-10 vs catalan dont seem to bad scores considering the others that have been going around.
FC doing a great job under the circumstances didnt think he would eclipse Potter of last season but he seems to be doing that, let him continue to build after this season, get some more money behind us attract the right peopl and players andwho knows could be the start of something special

| Yesterday was a massive result,with,if I'm not mistaken,next 3 league games Wigan,Warrington,Leeds,we definately needed the 2 points yesterday
If we could get even just 2 points out of next 3 games,that would put us on 16 points after 14,games,I would say we should be looking to finish 6 or 7th
Not taking anything for granted,but can we finally start expecting better than fighting for 8th or 9th place or even 10th
Now that Gale is back as well,even better,and still Foster,Blythe and Bateman to come back
Happy days for a change,just need another 3 or 4000 on the gate to enjoy the good rugby on show

| Impressed with how the team is going and even more impressed with how he sees the game and his comments in the press. I had a few reservations about whether he was the experienced man we needed but I am pleased to say that so far I have been proved wrong to have worried.
Just hope things are progressing off the field to allow him the budget to continue the improvement with the team. This side with a couple more quality additions would be a real handful for any side in SL.
