Can't you understand that we are building the future. It doesn't matter where we are on the table anymore, what matters is we are building a future.

It doesn't matter that the players are not performing like they should, but they will one day, you just need to keep the faith.I mean who wants to be world champions and S/L champions anyway, that's boring rugby.

No one could understand why Warrington had a great team on paper but never produced the results. Then one day someone at Warrington said, 'Hey this spell of bad luck could be down to Cullen, who says we get rid? ' Then one magical morning, Warrington work up and found Smith as their new coach. This confused the players for a week, but then things started to change and they started climbing up the table.


One day someone will wake up at Bradford and do the same, the problem is, we don't know how deep a coma they are in, so fingers crossed




I mean it could be worse we could end up in the play offs and have to play an extra game.

Not solely but he's a big influence.

2007.

Games in and amongst this year.

The widespread respect he is held in within the game.

Is that enough to fend off Brian McDermott if he was interested? Perhaps not. And Lang to (fair play to 6I6 for sticking his head above the parapet there). But are they interested?

X - Steve Folkes.

Y - Because he's a better coach than Macca.

Very Experienced, Disciplinarian, Proven Winner, Fine Record of bringing youth through, Good contacts.

How's that?

Of course we could just keep Macca and continue the way we are going though?
Hows that sound?

I agree he has to take a fair chunk of the blame. I just got the impression Iestyn saw him as pretty much the only reason.

Putting other reasons aside, surely for a club who (as confirmed by Hood)are spending close to the Salary Cap it would be reasonable to expect a top 4 finish?

A huge turnover of quality players will have an impact and possibly make the difference between being consistantly in the top four and winning SL but at the end of the day we are spending probably close to Leeds and Saints and not anywhere near them.

I didnt personally expect Silverware for 2-3 years given the upheaval at the club but i expected us to rebuild in a structured manner by bringing in quality proven players and developing the academy. The Cap should have allowed us to do this, which leads me to think we are operating drastically under the Salary Cap.

Perhaps a few years ago. A lot more than 4 SL clubs are spending the full cap nowadays. I feel we could have expected to make the play offs as a minimum with the players we have.

So lets forget about the 25 games we've lost since then shall we.
Sorry but the rest of the season easily wipes them out and haven't Salford beaten Saints and Leeds this year.
By who and how much longer can he live off it.
Definitely not.
I think you'd be surprised how many coaches would be intrested. Plus I've been mentioning Folkes for well over a year now and you no it.

Maybe that's where the name "People's Team" comes from?

Brian Mac just lost his third match of the season to Huddersfield. I don't think that makes him a bad coach, but there's plenty on here that would if it happened to another Mac.

Would Folkes come? You think he would. I wonder.

Sorry but Quins aren't meant to be in the same class as us so that point isn't valid.
I don't do you.

Quite. We are a class below Quins.
