Quote: paulwalker71 "Yeah, agree with all that

We keep hearing people say 'His job was to get us to the MPG and he did that... so he gets a free pass'

Sorry, but we stumbled into the MPG on the back of some woeful performances at the back end of the season, and then in the Super 8s. If Leigh hadn't totally imploded, we'd not have been there at all - and its unlikely that Leigh will do that again this year.

More worryingly, we simply don't seem to have learned anything from last year. We're still putting in those patchy, unconvincing performances, filled with mistakes, tactical ineptitude and unconvincing defence. We got past Swinton and Whitehaven OK, but how did we do against reasonably decent teams?

Featherstone

I think we will get battered by Fax on Monday and that is IF we can beat London.

Thinking the same we have stumbled and luckily eaten team but we havent had a good performance throughout a game yet which is a worry, the only silver lining is that we arent playing very well but seem to be able not to lose.

Id rather we put in a great defensive shift and then have a mad 20mins or so where we blow the other team away, but as our defence leaks tries like a seive i wont hold my breath.

Was thinking the same for last year how man good full match performances did we put in, i can only think of several, Leigh draw, win vs Leigh in 8's, salford 8's, Fax at bash and Wakefield in mpg (with a good squad selection we could have wont that game) fair enough some might say "well Leigh ran the league but came unstuck in the 8's if they hadn't been naive when going up against some teams and shut up shot instead of throwing the ball around they would have won more and not fallen away.

Interesting. Do you have a source for this?

If this is a wind up it is in poor taste. If not it`s best news in ages.

Making this up would be like promising a kid a new bike for christmas then giving them a lump of coal and a slap in the face. Seriously bad taste.
Fingers crossed its true, we can only hope!

According to Mick Gledhill on Twitter there is the usual Monday press conference within the next hour, I guess we'd find out then. That said, I'd be surprised if it was true - I'd expect they'll give him the Easter fixtures at least if there was truth in it. If we're 0/2 from those, I'd expect huge pressure then.

Frank is obviously somebody in the know, at a certain level.

He's not always been 100%, but I can't remember him calling a big one like this wrong.

He did only say [imight[/i, though.

I’ll be amazed if this is true. I don’t think things have really plumbed the depths yet. That’s not to say they won’t at some point or that I would be upset if he went.

I think he’s got time to turn it around but not too long. If we lose both Easter games which is distinctly possible he will be on very thin ice indeed.

The club has got time to turn it around but there is only time for one last attempt.
Jimmy has not shown enough to be entrusted with that final chance.

I'm inclined to agree.

who is available to replace Jimmy? Do you replace one failed coach with another like Wakey and hull kr. My choice would be Glenn Morrison and if we have to wait for him so be it

Wait until when? I'm not sure we the luxury of waiting around for a coach. I'd be straight in the phone to Brian Smith and see if he'd be willing to return for 6 months or so to try and get us back up, maybe with someone like Morrison alongside him if he fancied being head coach in 2017.

If we had to take the plunge and look for a new coach then I'd want Morrison too. Whether we could afford Smith as well until the end of the season and whether Morrison would want to work under him is another matter. We may not be able to afford to pay Lowes off and compensate Dewsbury either.

Failing that I'd consider Rowley (provided he isn't meant to be part of this Canadian club that's being formed).

I'd love to see Noble back at the Bulls.

I think his motivational skills would be what is needed to get the best out of the current crop of players. Player recruitment might be easier with him in charge, given his standing in the game.
