How do we recruit quality players when we're playing crap and have a well below expectations of a clueless management setup.
Fitzgibbon I reckon will end up at an NRL club next season saves him stating he's homesick when he realises he's coming to a nsw quality team.
It's just rank....

The injuries he's had???

What injuries has he had that are due to overplaying him?

I'm really losing patience in Powell, he was supposed to bring a change of culture, yet the same negatives are still evident that have been there for years, apart from a few years of the Tony Smith era. Making things easy for the opposition with stupid penalties or unforced errors, clueless in attack in the opposition 20m, lack of game management and the inability to turn the screw on a team once ahead.
I still wouldn't feel confident with us 10 points ahead with 15 minutes to go against any team in the league just now.
I can't see next season being any better.

Powell still banging on about missing players. Thinks he should have a full squad at this time of the year and anything less justifies your results.

The missing players excuse was justified a few weeks ago, when we had a lot of forwards out and couldn’t really compete against bigger, better packs. Last night we were missing a winger, a stand off and a second row.

The pack got dominated, our kicking game was non-existent and we were ill disciplined throughout. A bit of Clark brilliance made a game of it in the first half, but once they got into stride we couldn’t keep up with them in any area. I

Imagine what we will look like without Clark.

Quote from an online article re: Lewis Dodds at Saints, his return from injury, criticism from fans and return to form. The St Helens club and coaching staff stood by him throughout.

Personally, I think Dodds is pretty average but that isn't the issue. Until we start nurturing our youngsters as opposed to scapegoating them, we are doomed to fail.

We are pretty spoilt for reasons to dislike the club currently, but personally I [idetest[/i the treatment the like of Dean has received.

You’ll get some saying it’s the fans that won’t have patience with young players….utter garbage, it’s cowardly coaching that’s the problem. Powell is a ruddy disaster.

Missing backs would improve things but only one forward missing. Our so-called super pack couldn't handle a fitter and faster outfit whose average age is years younger than ours. Same old story. They develop we get a bunch of over 30s

Thankfully, Clark ,Russell & one or two others had a go last night against Wigan who stayed in second gear most of the night. They could have hammered us but only opened up when they needed to. Once again we were losing too much ground in defence too many times,

You're getting Dwyer aren't you?
