| Yeah, shut up you stupid soft Aussies... Sandercock, McRae, Millward, Raper and Tony Smith have all whinged about the Easter schedule at one time or another. If they don't like it, bugger off back to Oz. Moaning gets! We English just get on with it and tough it out.
Anyhow, the round after Good Friday is always entertainingly diluted as intensity drops off even further and dummy halves get to scoot 20 metres instead of ten and we get plenty of joke scorelines too. It's brilliant and it's what Super League is all about

| I sympathise with him entirely TBH, especially coming at this fresh from the NRL.
You talk about Origin, but that only affects 34 players out of 200+, a lot of whom don't back up in their next club game. When the Broncos used to field the vast majority of the Queensland side you'd fully expect them to drop some or all of the games around all three Origin fixtures.

"Leeds is the greatest club in Rugby League"
Alex Murphy 2011: |

| Quote: Forever FC "He was really positive pre-season in every interview he talked about sports science and how he invented it.'"
It would appear he has also invented the 6 day week. He's complaining about having to play a game 2 days after Hull Derby, it's to be hoped he's told everyone else that Hull.K.R are kicking off on Sunday afternoon.

| Did he not research the 'differences' between here and there before he agreed to take the job ?

Yep, the Easter Monday round of tag rugby fixtures are going to be a fantastic showcase of everything that's brilliant about Sooper Dooper Super League and I can't wait to see all those players limping around, puffing their lungs out and falling off tackles while others take advantage of scooting around in wide open spaces blowing out scorelines to their hearts content. Bring on the entertainment and bring on the huge scores! Flat-track bullies by plenty

| So you get a few stating he's a soft, whinging Aussie for disliking the Easter schedule then go on to say how the Monday games end up being flat, Sandercock is trying to make the point about backing up on Monday and not being able to have the same intensity.
FWIW, I'm still unconvinced about this guy fronting our club as it is.

| SL is a squad game and the Easter period is an exercise in squad management; if a coach chooses to field a team full of busted players on Easter Monday, that's his decision.
Surely Sandycock knew all this when he took the job?

Brilliant analysis.
Seems like this Aussie coach (just like so many before him) comes over here shouting the odds. If he doesn't like the way the game is run and played so unprofessionally in Super League... where it's all about quantity rather than quality... then perhaps he shouldn't have taken the job in the first place?

Brilliant summary; I concur wholeheartedly.
