I don't think getting rid of our head coach at this stage of the season will prove anything.
We all expected a rough ride this season if we are honest, but of course yesterdays woeful performance at the HJ Stadium was totally unaceptable and a repeat will see more than the coach getting shown the door for sure.
There is only a few games left now this season and I would like to see a few of our younger players given a chance in the first team, the likes of Lewis Palfrey and Marlon Alker should be breaking through in 2010 and I feel in the last few games this season it would do them no harm to get a taste of what in store for them in the future.

If motivation is the problem, it's wierd how he can motivate them for the first half but not the second?!
Getting rid of our coach at this point would be a waste of time and money. If he wanted to quit I wouldn't shed any tears, but there's no way I'd want the club to be spending money on paying off his contract.
The fact that he has managed to put build, coach and motivate a team who can beat Leeds, Saints, Hudds and Wire is enough to convince me that there are reasons to be optimistic.
The challenge for next season is to keep those occasional, impressive victories but to ensure consistency between them.
And besides, I can't think of one coach who would be a significant improvement on McRea who would be interested in coaching Salford at present. | | |

Good Post.
I agree.
I feel that the players are more to blame at the moment than McRae. They have shown that they can beat the best when they play to their potential, so results like yesterday are a hard pill to swallow. There was no real tactical reason to lay the blame on our coach for shipping the ridiculous amount of points that they did. A coach can only do so much, and the players really need to ask themselves some questions.
Of course, there are lots of external factors that may come into play but at the end of day, the Club needs to sit down and look at what we can do to sort this out. I thought the dark days of shipping half a century of points and more were well behind us.
I just hope we are not slipping back into those times, and the end of the season can't come quick enough... | | |

The thing is Butcher that a few of the players will already know that they wont be there next year, so they wont really be busting a gut. It makes me mad as again great planning by someone at the club where after one season in the franchise we will be loosing half the squad. So you can see next years excuse already.

What makes you say that? What 'second rate Aussies' do we have this season? |

Only listened on radio, but Swain, Cashmere and Henry all featured prominently in first half.
Far better than our usual crop

That's kinds what I was thinking.
I know Jeremy Smith isn't widely popular (although neither is he an Aussie) but our other imports are as good a crop of foreigners as I can remember.
I feel that Cashmere, Swain, Henry, Wilshere, Stapleton and even Robbie Paul have all done reasonably well this season, and that our 'NRL Retirement Home' status may be under jeopardy?! |

I dont think replacing mcrae is the answer, our hot and cold performances are down to individual players and their attitude.
I think his team selections are weird at times, he'll play percentage rugby league to win ugly at all costs i think ratchford and fitzpatrick should play a more active role but what he has achieved so far you cant argue with, won all the cups last year, got us promoted, beat leeds and hull away, his imports have been a success in my opinion, the only difference between him and harrison is harrison got a top 6 finish with players who were at the peak of their powers at the time played for each other and for him.
Mcrae has had to invest in youth more, this is where our strengh lyes, hopefuly another offseason we can move on some of our yesterdays heros and the club and team can move on.
