Quote: Asgardian13 "It would help moderate the tone if the phase 'Happy Clappers' were banned by the mods.
Those of us who don't bitch about every single performance are not 'happy', we're just looking at the bigger picture. No club, no matter how rich or well resourced, has a right to win SL, there are simply too many variables. We should be doing all we can to win SL, and I think we are. If Steve Price proves incapable of winning it, the board will replace him. However, this season we have played four games, looked very good in two, poor in one and bang average in the fourth. That is not sackable form.
Messrs Moran and Middleton are not going to accept season-after-season without the SL trophy, but they can't guarantee a winning side no matter what they spend, and it is absolutely fair to point out that adopting an 'anyone is better than Price' stance on the coach is clearly nonsense. In fact, you could argue that is how we got Steve Price, because 'anyone was better than Tony Smith'.'"
The bigger picture is we have lost 10 of the last 13 games. We haven’t won away since July last year. We have a coach who has sucked the life out of our attacking players. We struggle to score more than two/three try’s a game with two marquee halfbacks. Do you really think Price is getting the best out of the players he gas at his disposal? It’s not like we have a poor squad either. Teams would kill for a spine of Ratchford, Austin, Widdop, Clark etc. It’s all well and good getting up for games against Saints & Wigan but we should be convincingly beating teams like Wakefield and Toronto with the team we have. Why isn’t Price motivating the players to get up for these games?
