Having seen almost every game this season, Waterhouse hasn't been the worst forward by any means. He may have been one that has least fulfilled my expectations - but maybe they were too high.

I was one (of many) who thought the same thing about Matt King. I was eventually proven hopelessly wrong and hope the same will apply to Waterhouse.

I think people can boo if they wish. If anybody wants to pay £20 to watch me at work and boo - I'll take their money.

I am planning to boo everyone at work tomorrow who I consider incompetent or not performing.

That's a lot of people; I will of course be giving myself a little cheer.

Shall we skip the needless abuse and go straight for the big positive reinforcement campaign that kingy got. He felt much better after he realised he was wanted here

I agree with you that we should get behind him and indeed all of the team. Yes, let's all have a "big positive reinforcement campaign", as other posters have alluded to on other threads, we are supporters first and foremost surely?

However, I don't think Trent has suffered "needless abuse" on this forum (or are you talking about the Keighley booing?) In the main, detractors on here seem to be saying that it is about managing 'big name' expectation, being given time to settle and hoping that they are proved wrong and he turns 'it' around, whatever 'it' is, in a Matt King way.

Onwards and upwards

Bookmakers are now offering odds as to who we blame next !

exactly i'm parralleling kings first 14/16 months. I mean, instead of getting to the point where some tool ends up venting his spleen stupidly, lets go straight to putting an arm round him, and saying, come on lad.

I reckon things would be different if we'd been singing the Dangermouse song.
