Would this have been at his weekly press conference?

Beat me to it.

Can we not just get rid of him now. Oaf.

Some Wakefield fans apparently gave him a bit afterwards, I am unaware if any Wire fans did and I would hope it is the former that he is on about.

Lets remember he has already virtually had a fight with some Salford fans when he was assistant at Salford in their away game at Catalans.

To be honest if you put yourself into that job of a coach you are going to have to deal with it and not with your fists. Whilst we all agree it is unacceptable you will never stop it.

His reaction to the fans at the time was bad enough but to then continue it with comments like [i"I think it's out of order and I won't accept that from anyone, no matter how good or bad we're going as a team."[/i is just another example of why Lowes isn't the right man to be a SL coach at the minute. He needs to ignore and/or rise above any crowd 'baiting'. His reaction at the weekend, and continuing through the media, will only make matters worse.

If he is still in the job, he is going to have some 'fun' at The Willows in April!

It seems pretty clear that he is talking about Wire fans when he says that he appreciates they are frustrated. The Wakey fans who were giving him stick weren't doing it through frustration.

A group of fans had a banner saying Lowes out

someone pointed it out and "said sad barstewards coming to yorkshire just to put up a sign"

These people were stood behind me at the Wakefield game, if they take it to the Leeds match Jimmy will certainly be seeing it.

The fans are totally irrelevant to Lowes and he seems to antagonise them at every opportunity.If he cant take the heat get out of the kitchen - Arsenal and Villa were booed at the weekend but you do not see Wenger and Oneill with such disrespect for the fans. He needs to realise that he needs the fans on board if he wishes to still be a Superleague coach , albeit a very poor one.

From the Link ...................

[iThe under-fire coach has employed a motivational team in the run up to the Rhinos match and hopes it will make a difference.

"We're just trying something different," Lowes added. "The whole club is down and the players are getting fed up, as is the coaching staff.

"Sometimes it's not about flogging the guys all the time, it's about trying something slightly different off the field.

"They throw different ideas at you. We had a go at it and hopefully it's worked."[/i

FFS - can we just get shot please. I mean, he's making it sound like it's the discovery of the century instead of something that maybe should have already been included in his season long plans.

And the bit in bold - try being one of the supporters if you're already fed up. We're the ones having to watch the tripe you're putting out and wondering wtf has happened to our club.

Interview with Lowes, he mentions the fans quite a bit, also the mental training. forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?t=397560

All coaches/managers in all sports have had abuse from fans at some point even Alex Ferguson...
The good coaches rise above it and put all their energys into getting it right on the field I don't think Lowes is capable of this..

Furthermore i do think he's talking about the Wire fans...I'm not aware of any abuse myself i just think he's putting out a half ar$ed warning because he knows we're not happy..
