Quite true that is. Why is this allowed to happen?  |

So we are led to believe, but only Derek and Neil will know for sure. |

Derek has laid into them and he has given them 2 more games
Derek watched that game with the fans and like all of us, he found that performance hard to take. |

I don't think we can forget that we actually also got promoted using the Jukes system ( or was it Cookey),in pretty fine style. Which endorse's the fact to me,he either can't replicate that system or its somebody else pulling the strings. The system for me at present isn't Jukes style.
I feel for Jukes as I would probably feel perturbed with the appointment of KC and he must have felt unsettled. That for me is one of the issues as there's no clarity on who is head coach. We all know their respective job titles but the system on the pitch says different. |

It will be too late by then. An experienced coach should have been brought in halfway through last season - we would probably still be in SL if this had happened. As it is we are being beaten by the 2 promoted sides from Champ 1. Jukes should go now. He has a full time team with SL/NRL players. He isn't good enough. Please go. |

If Toulouse beat us at the weekend, Jukes is toast.
As already stated, should have gone last season. Could have saved a few grand on the all expenses paid trip to Australia.
Having Cunningham in charge doesn't inspire me either. DB only himself to blame.

I doubt we would have remained in SL given the injuries. The MPG saw us short of eight first team regulars and that told. Who do you replace him with? Its quite clear KC is making the calls. Also are you paying NJ off? |

WYB. I think you’ve hit the nail on the head, and maybe didn’t mean to in the way I see it.
It’s the coaches job to question the players commitment if it’s lacking. If the coach can’t get his players to commit then it’s time for a new coach, or in this case new coaches.
As for Mickey and Riddy, they are not out there because of these coaches.
It’s time ! |

Derek. As skilled and a brilliant owner( apart from his loyalty to the coaching staff) is no coach and he knows it imho
