I remember reading about Stone in a post from Roopy (i think) when he was appointed and I'm sure part of it was that his team's started the season slowly but developed and grew into the season - presumably as he worked out the best team and combinations. I'm hoping this is the case and haven't lost any faith in him......he did make a difference at ht against Wakefield and I do believe he is working more long term while keeping us safe this year. I do wonder whether a change in the assistant coaches might help....fresh faces and voices....maybe Thorman and Robbo are too familiar to many of the squad. I think Symonds has been a big miss too and will be glad to get him back

I think we would do better to keep Thorman. None of the players in our squad played alongside him now Eorl has gone, and he wasn't involved that heavily with the first team as he was u19s coach until middle of last year. Doing a fantastic job there too- and from what I have heard a very good man manager who earned a massive amount of respect from those players.

Can't argue with much of the original post.
We are certainly missing Bruno as much as anyone!
I thought Fergy was getting into the swing of things too.

We are missing Lawrence in defense no doubt about that, In attack he offers little or nothing," Que some one coming on and quoting how many yards he has made per game " My point is those yards don't convert to scores because they are just Head down rushes that stop with him. Its symptomatic of the whole side, we have as many good players as most teams but we don't play as well as a team, as most other sides. Mr stone has to do something similar to what N Brown did, and was then later undone.
I don't know if he is the man or not but i don't believe he has had long enough yet to make any impression. I do take all the points about we should be seeing more than we are, and i do agree with much of them. That said he doesn't strike me as some one who can transform a team in quick time, When you talk to him he comes across more as a steady away gets there type.

We have had years with only one creative player on the field, that has to change for me, Is he the man to change it ?. Also we can't afford to have players who can only defend or can only attack, Players who are fast but never get a pass when in position to take one, players who can run decent lines but offer nothing else, Basically Stone needs to make us into a team, He doesn't have the men to make us into a great team but we should be able to survive, which is unfortunately as much as we can hope for
