Quote: Bulls Boy 2011 "I said this when he got the job. Need a proper coach. He’s done okay in patches (Toulouse, Widnes etc) but it’s overwhelmed by performances against a crap York, today and Keighley.
This is where I have an issue. If it was SL at all costs, why would we loan or DR in players who have been poor (Ruan, Roberts, Bibby, Butler etc). If you watched GFJ last season you’d know he’s far off first team Championship week in week out. For me his debut was only talked about because of a try. His defence wasn’t great and the following game was poor. Ran alongside someone who broke through and jumped on them as they were scoring. He’s young and he’ll improve no doubt. But to say he’s ready to go for a lack of chance is rubbish. He won’t get anywhere near Hudds side next year. He’ll be in the reserves. Or loaned to a League 1 side. Why would he play Myers today if it was SL at all costs?
I agree with most of what you said but please don’t miss understand me about Flanagan Jr. I do t think he’s ready either but that’s my point, under this coaching team and agenda the likes of him will never improve.
I do thinkit is SL at all costs tho that’s why I think he doesn’t have a long term contract as yet. I could be wrong but it seems that no one really has committed themselves to the club due to loanees DR and short term contracts only.
