Am I the only cynic who wonders if this is actually more down to poor advance sales for the event than outrage at a defeat?

What's happened to the much heralded improvement under Harris?

Exactly what he said, the investment made by the Doctor into this shower of sh*t, and the sum of their return is to finish in the mix of the three clubs that either went bust or were as good as bust. Whats to celebrate.

Well done Dr K.

I don’t know. A little step backwards, before taking another two forward? You cannot disagree that there hasn’t been an apparent improvement in performances under Harris, however Sunday has undone all that good work and apparent progress as it looked like we were back to where we started.

You have to feel for the coach after performances like that, after two weeks off you can guarantee they weren’t practising conceding penalties and making countless unforced errors. The players need to take full responsibility for not performing to the levels they are capable of and not following the game plan.

For the first time in years this season we have had the likes of Leeds etc resting players the game before they play Salford. All the big clubs have wanted to do a job on us to put us in our place after all the gobbing off in pre season about top 4 etc, whereas usually we could rely on the off chance of a couple of them playing a weakened side and getting a result. Anywhere between 7th and 12th was always on the cards, and sadly we are at the lower end of it.

Whilst the players ultimately have to carry the can, plenty of the off field nonsense this year has done them no favours.

I have no idea what we hope to gain from this latest stunt. Anyone?

Really disappointed in his decision and he wouldn't be advising this on his management training courses.
Tell Theo,or HH,that they're not worthy ?
Crass in the extreme but a good way to mask poor ticket sales,perhaps.

Hansen named captain for next year and we've signed 2 young forwards in Luke Menzies & Matt Groat. Marwan going bonkers on twitter today! Morley also named General manager/player for 2015

I am a big fan of our chairman but in this case he has I feel overstepped the mark.
Firstly nothing as yet on the club website,why?

Secondly as we have purchased tickets for the player of the year,two adults and one junior I expect the club to reimburse us as soon as possible without any hitches.


Thirdly the player of the year awards are as the title itself says for the performances over the season and not a couple of matches and several players deserve better than this.

I actually had cancelled a previous engagement to fit the Player of the year awards in and I thought that is was only Sky TV who were messing us about.

Finally this action,if true,has brought the club into line with the RFL & Superleague as we are continually told that the are hopeless organisers where does this knee jerk response put us?

Dr K apparently tweeted-

"I am sure the players by now have realised that they owe the fans ,who travelled to watch them play today, an apology,"

Apparently the fans / sponsors supporting the awards dinner are owed nothing by Koukash. An arrogant and cheap way to treat supporters.

how many times has this guy done a post game rant berating players and saying he will tolerate it no longer? (5 or 6 in 2 seasons?)

This public berating of the squad is pathetic. At first it genuinely was "refreshing" to hear a Chairman come out and say what the rest of us were thinking, but now I feel it only serves to keep our sizeable mong element worshipping him.

If we're not getting the results he wants then there are ways to manage that business behind closed doors that are more effective. I think the fact he is still producing these stupid outbursts is demonstrative of a very weak off-field management team.

I agree with you - as I usually do and it is a pity you are not one of the advisory board panel.
Trying to attract a decent attendance to the next 2 home games is more important - particularly when reading the Dr's article in this weeks RLE and the problems/cost for the stadium.

SRD lost on Sunday to a side higher than them in the league.Leeds lost to London,recently and Wigan lost to Bradford - both lower in the league than even SRD.

For the Harris critics how about viewing the win/loss ratio of Wigan since Harris left there,and how about remembering Harris managed to get SRD away from relegation and within less time than Noble had here,who managed the wooden spoon and a hefty remuneration,only.

The majority of the players managed to under-achieve on the opening game of the season in the second half,against Wakefield.Most were Noble signings and this was after a 16 days team-bonding session in South Africa.Harris ain't had that opportunity.

Full agreement for all the above.

As to the question posed to me, one of Morley, Sau, Hock (despite odd brain f@rts , he has been much more disciplined than I expected), Chase, or Fages. All different, all crucial in any success we attracted.

Good that Noble is still in your thoughts.
I actually agree that Harris has done a good job and,whilst I thought Nobby was hard done by,I was wrong.
There has been a massive over reaction to the Wakefield result,led by MK pandering to a section of the fans.
Before Lou Kate lets on, I wasn't at the Wakefield game so I can't judge just how bad it was apart from via Jack Dearden.
We'd been doing well. I was at Huddersfield and we were tremendous

Evalds, Sa'u, Theo, HH have all been very good for me this season.

Very odd move by the Doc this one, if an apology is required from the players the awards night might just have been the right time for them to make it.
