| He's working in the wrong town if he doesn't like being criticised. Unless he starts winning soon, it's going to get much, much worse.

| Couldn't post before as the site appeared to be down.
The decision not to do one to one interviews was taken before the interview - although we had been told we would still get to do one, this changed at the last minute, as Jimmy needed to get away to the disciplinary hearing with Benny Westwood.
I am not aware of anything personal against me - and any way some of you on here think the club write down the questions for me to ask!!!
Few of the other media seemed keen to press Jimmy on some of the teams failings - but it is not easy doing a general media call with everyone trying to ask questions - it made it all very awkward and I hope it doesn't continue like this.
Managed a one to one with Vinnie Anderson which will be broad cast tomorrow - but most of you aren't interested to hear a player's views for some reason - and personally I would have thought they were of equal importance as to what has gone wrong.
Just in case anyone doesn't know where the interview is by now

| I don't like Jimmy Lowes. I don't like the way he approaches it all. He seems very unprofessional to me. His team were booed off the pitch, about 1500 fans left with ten minutes to go. If he thinks his "I'm relaxed" attitude is the one to adopt, he needs to get a new PR agent.

| I did like his reaction to the Question is Paul Jonhson alright for this week
......
he said with a big intake of breath "no ..... he's still struggling"
but he looked just as pi$$ed off with him as everyone else is....he must be finished now

| That's precisely my point. He jumps in to stop Vinnie answering a question about letting the ocach down but then shows his impatience/annoyance with Johnson.

| Ive just watched it and its obvious that Jimmy is feeling the pressure.
Ive been told what went on in the dressing room after the game against Catalans and based on that Im not surprised one bit by Jimmys general attitude in that interview.
Well done to Gary for trying to ask the difficult questions though.

| just looking at his face on garys first line of questioning, he looks like them kids you get on saturday night tv shows, "ooh i'm being recorded and they're expecting a silly answer"
He seems to struggle to give a straight answer, unless he's able to about like last year.
Gary you should've asked him how long the roller coaster is going to be out of order.

that again comes back to what gary was asking about viewing figures for the coach/players. Whereas you may get a few snippets from the coach to pick over, generally from players you'll get stock answers, toeing the party line and ending with "putting it right this weekend".

| No wonder we play like we do with JL leading us. No passion, no inspiration, no enthusiasm. Watched him for several weeks now on his interviews and nothing changes.
The guys are probably sitting there waiting for him to give direction and show some enthusiasm.
And he also said he doesnt drop players after one poor game. so why drop KP????
We need a coach with passion.

| The atmosphere in that room didn`t half come across as depressing, James Lowes doesn`t look as laid back now as he first portrayed when he first started doing these interviews with Gary a while ago, the "I`m a regular sort of guy that likes a laugh and a joke" seems to have long gone and has been replaced with a stare or its nothing to do with you attitude if i don`t like your questions.
Fair play to Gary with his straight to the point questions, it makes a refreshing change to hear someone being so direct.

| i was all for giving him a chance when it became clear we couldn't get the coach we wanted but it is becoming clearer that he is not up to the job,his attitude is questionable,his tactics predictable and he looks like nooky bear,that alone is enough to say bye bye.
top quality players(and we have some)need top quality coaching,it's the missing part of the jigsaw everyone can see except for the decision makers at the club.
we will NOT win anything until this is addressed.

International class and world class players throughout the team. Most pundits seem to say so and all but the most blinkered oppositon fans think so. We have gone from an average coach who wasn't quite good enough to a first class numpty who I doubt would even be good enough in the National Leagues, and understandabley we have gone backwards.
My wife is always taking the mick of my 'you get what you pay for' attitude, and it is easy for me to say this, it's not my money, but the cheque book needs to come out and if necessary there needs to be plenty of 0's on it!.

Spot on , I am also being over critical but I think that he should wear a suit at the match. It looks professional and gives the right impression to his squad and the fans from the minute go.All this siege mentality and we dont care about what the fans say/want is really wearing thin with me.With all Cullens failings at least I knew we were going to watch some entertaining rugby , not so with this new set up.

It's not money standing in the way of that, it's him wanting to be near his son. And him being tied to a few contracts in RU.

Money talks my friend, if the wonga was right Edwards would come son or no son.
In reality its not going to happen so therefore Hanley would be my No1 target. He is just what this shambles of a club needs.

So if money were no object then you would go down the same route as we have done with our last 2 coaches and employ another rookie ? Their is no guarentee that Edwards will transfer his Union exploits to League, we need a proven League coach with a recent top drawer CV as Edwards would be yet another risk we can`t afford to take in our position as we need a steadying, winning influence and not another rookie RL coach.
Sean edwards could turn out to be the next big thing in rugby league if he ever switched back but we can`t afford to risk him in our situation, i thought you may have learnt that by now about rookie coaches.
If money were no object then i would make Craig Bellamy an offer he couldn`t refuse and get him to sneak Greg Inglis into his hand luggage.

We've tried that!!
You'd have all on to find a more passionate or enthusiastic coach than PC

| Very very alarming that interview, though he is right there is no need to panic but there is something wrong perhaps he does need to do something drastric like drop King to demonstrate he is in control - there again perhaps he has been warned of not to and thats whats making him seem indifferent.

| Waste of time reading interviews of any sport.They only come out with comments to appease the fans or bull up a team-mate.Saw last weeks headline about Fortress Wire and thought,sod it turn straight to the obtiuary page.
Heres a few qs for the next fobbing off session?
1/Why do you persistantly play players out of position?
2/Is it true you cant run a bath,let alone a rl team?
3/Any chance of playing something something other than 5 drives and a kick?
4/Do you care?
