There is only one team in superleague in a comparable position to us, which is Leeds. They have spent a similar amount and have a similar league position. I would much rather have their squad than ours though, as i have said previously.
Watson is living off the cup run we had in his first year in charge, that is the only thing we have accomplished during his tenure. If he had had some positivity and belief that day we would at least have a cup to show for it.
I do not believe the team is unmotivated, they are simply not a good team. It is unbelievable that we have spent a similar amount on players as Warrington, and yet they have pace, flair and threat across the team, whereas we have a one edge (masters and swift) and the rest offers very little. Watson should have been gone at the end of last year, but Ken has clung on, because he is by all accounts a hard working man who has put everything into the job. The problem is, he's not very good at it.
There's no real answer to this dilemma, even if someone else takes over they can't magic up some decent spine players to replace our slow plodders. Most of them are on at least a 2 year contract, some longer, we are well and truly in the dudu.
