Yet the same players all kept getting selected when the league was already won, and still whilst the team had to back up Sunday and Wednesday, in not very meaningful fixtures. That was huge mistake number one.
As was the second half in the opening qualifiers, not playing up your jumper to protect a massive winning position. Needed 5 drives, then kicking to the in goal and making HKR work their way out from 100/95 yards. No plan B, just the continuation of kamikaze Rugby League with zero game management. Same against Wakefield, and same again v Bradford.
It ain't me who is delusional pal, I can assure you. The head coach was responsible for what eventuated. The proof is back in those games. Watch them and tell me I am wrong.
Still we mustn't dwell eh Mr Kay(e)?

| We had a squad of 30+ players and a reserve team in 2015. If there was burn out, it was because the squad was badly managed throughout the season. Looking at the team Toronto fielded last week, Rowley may have learned a lesson or two.

We certainly did have players available , but Paul declined to use them , and as Harold has pointed out , poor game management was a trait all through Paul's teams , previous season we blew a winning lead at Leeds in the cup when all that was needed was a drop goal and a bit of composure , maybe he has learned , maybe not

| Over reliance on his favourite players and an arrogance that caused a refusal to change tactics when it was crying out for a change. You can try an deflect the blame from Rowley but that is what happened.

Whatever happened to the Referee of our Match at Wakefield? I've never seen as many bad decisions given against a team, there is doubt at all that he cost us that night and, I think the RFL must have thought so too?

| Quote: Alan "I would like nothing better than have a vibrant academy setup, with progression to the first grade squad.
However, the reality is, and always has been, the proximity of SL clubs such as Wigan, Warrington & Saints - and even currently Widnes and Salford. They will almost always take the cream, and leave us with slim pickings. There will always be some of the remainder who flourish, but the expenditure on a proper academy set up may not justify the odd couple of stars graduating through the ranks.
Also, are there not strict RFL guidelines as to who can operate academy sides?'"
I am sure that I once read a quote from Warrington (ex player still involved, maybe Briers) who said along the lines of, don't understand or agree with Clubs who claim it is too expensive to run an Academy, £60/70k is what it costs at Wire !

| Quote: GUBRATS "Norman , Similarily with Bradford ' if you produce them it is almost impossible to keep them , there are several players at our SL neighbours ( England Internationals ) who we had at scholarship level but were ' poached' at academy induction
You have to consider the return on investment'"
You also have to consider it might be a future criteria to inclusion in SL & while we are not SL ready now, without an Academy we quite possibly never will be !
Say we have an Academy & circa 3k crowds & solvent & Salford have no Academy with circa 2k crowds, all criteria considered who gets the nod for SL if it goes to franchise ?

Probably would/should have been an achievable aim Ste, when we were 'cash rich' the past couple of years. In our current situation, it sounds an awful lot of money!
