But back in the day when were crap is a lot different than now, the stadium the training facilities, infact everything about the club is so much better than back then, that what we a dishing up now is just unaceptable.

OK that's a fair point. Who would join me if I were to sit down in the south after the Leigh game?

Lol! Yep I think they might be on to something.

Whatever you do, when on Facebook....don't mention the shape of the planet, the dinosaurs, evolution or our average error count.

It is peculiar to appoint a CEO with experience in a national body, only then to appoint someone from the dressing room.

With no offence to the incumbent (I really mean it), he doesn't have the working knowledge and little black book of contacts we so really needed when we brought in Roger.

Makes me wonder if he massively dropped his salary expectations, and what we were offering isn't of any interest to a hard hitter we may or may not need/deserve.

More questions than answers!

When were were cr☆p we had good reason for it....we were in heavy debt.
There is no excuse for mediocre performances now.
Even when we're were broke, the team were trying. We loved them for it. We were not broken in defeat....except for cc draw defeats of course.

I would if i had not already stopped going lol.

Just go for the sit in when they open the gates at the end of the game?

I feel that it will take a sit in and some fan anger for things to change the club see us as being in a slump and that new signings will get us out of it when its clear to see that there are some deficiencies in how we are approaching games so irrespective of playing staff it ill not change dramatically Imo

Absolute bullseye this. Said it numerous times, we were always the plucky underdog and fans and players gave their all.

But we didn't have a pot to pee in. So the were mitigating circumstances for poor performances.

What Smith has allowed to happen in the last 4-5 years is a total dereliction of duty end of story

The damning facts are

1. No GF win in 8 seasons. (2010,11,12,13,14,15,16,17)
2. No CC win in 5 seasons. (2013,14,15,16,17)
3. Currently 10th in the league.

How the performance team has remained intact baffles me.

To add to that - here's our league placings since 2010. There's a very definite downward trend since that hot 2011 season.

Last year was a blip for a number of factors. Following the trend, around 10th this season is actually where we "should" be.

Also, as you say, zero Championships won during this period.

Great graph, they are brilliant aren't they?
