As I said in the HKR thread

"He's killing us".... and so is that buffoon Sheridan

Fair enough, but as I said earlier, where has this idea that our squad has any sort of quality come from?

They are a very average bunch, which simply changing the coach is unlikely to fix overnight.

For example, tell me how any side, with our obvious lack of front row quality,is ever going to be any better than they presently are?

We'll have a great front row next year, but they still will be coached by a muppet.

I'm tired of going down the rabbit hole again on this site of slagging off players.
This coach has been in charge of player selection all year, recruitment and retention whilst he was still at Cas, coaching, training, game plan etc. All he has done is blame everyone but himself for one of the worst seasons we have endured.
Now, you have faith in him and believe he will turn this pigs ear of a team into a silk purse.
I don't. I have no faith in him at all based on the evidence. Even if we have a decent season next year I can not forgive him for the unnecessary wreckage to the club this year in terms of results, performance, entertainment and last but not least the effect he has had on the clubs finances this year.
We have our choices, you have yours and I mine. Different, but that's OK too.

Thanks Mo.

It isn't a rabbithole, it's simply asking you to use your eyes and your years of experience watching RL, and tell me how a front row, led by Mulhearn (& previously Cooper) is ever going to show up and make a team any better than they are?

Then tell me how filling your back division with 3 youngsters (& would be 4 if our fans had their way & Dean was selected) isn't anything but a recipe for what we have seen?

I think ultimately, after the disappointment of the Price years, we all called for a new start and a overhaul, but, in reality, not many of us have the patience to see the new start through - Thinking about it, we could have kept Price on, finished 4th or 5th, then been embarrassed again in the play offs and the pain wouldn't have been as extended as the present pain is. However, we'd still be moaning about another year of underachievement and we'd just continue ad nauseam.

I suppose its a choice of how you want to take your medicine?

If Powell was so bad then how come he took over a Cas team from Millward when they were bottom of the league and took them to the top despite keeping losing his best players. First half season kept them up then lost his best player (Rangi Chase). First full season got them to a Challenge Cup Final then lost his best player and Man of Steel (Daryl Clark). Years 2 and 3 he lost his best 2 try scoring threats (Justin Carney, Denny Solomona). Year 4 had them top of the league playing champagne rugby and lost the Grand Final after Hardaker let the side down.

Personally, I think the problems are all over the pitch, but your front row is traditionally seen as the foundations of your side and how they will be able to play, and our front row right now is particularly average.

How good is Salford's front row?
