Well somebody /something has changed and being how the coach is the one who gets the blame for things going wrong, It's fair play he should get the credit when things go right.

The last three games have show a huge improvement in the style of play , especially last night, We played the sort of football Cas got lots of credit for playing last year, Keep it up in the top eight's and a good off season could see a different club next season and IMO the fans will turn up to watch that kind of football in bigger numbers.

He always deflects the praise onto the players in interviews also.

You made a good call a couple of weeks ago jools when you said how much we needed Brough, The whole team played superbly last night and Brough is still a very good player when he is not falling out with the Ref .

woolford
thorman
getting players back from injury
mark andrews
great defence


perfect storm!

Don't know about Jesus but looks remarkab!y like Robin Williams

For me Rick Stone certainly laid the foundations for this current turnaround of form and should be recognised by receiving some credit.

The side has enough quality to be top eight so was always going to pick up results and form no matter who was in charge.

That said, you don't have a prayer of getting into the top four so you are deluding yourselves if you think you've any chance of that this season.

As far as I’m concerned stone gets no credit. He did nothing to improve us in 18 months that I could see. - he made us into. Worse side with poor preparation - had to have a mini preseason part way through the year - and awful game plans that didn’t suit us at all.
Nice guy -poor coach

I think he is being very clever re: Gaskell, he mentions him everytime he has an interview. He was for me probably MOM last night and deserved praise but has been far from it in other games yet Woolford constantly talks him up. Two reasons for this: 1) Improves Gaskells morale, 2) increases chances he can offload him. He has made it clear we are trying to sign another high quality halfback and made a couple of bids , so why does he need this when he has Brough and Gaskell? Very clever methinks

Don’t forget Brough’s age. Replacing him is a matter of urgency, regardless of how well he plays.

yes was saying that lastnight!

some didnt want an unknown aussie woolford as coach i seem to remember

Gaskell has been brilliant since he's been back in the halves. He's never had a settled run because he's always played second fiddle to Brierley or Rankin or Turner. He's finally getting to play a part, especially as Brough is focusing on managing the game too which he hasn't done since his MOS season.

Congratulations, even up to the Cas game I remained unconvinced.

Winning there when it really mattered is very impressive so I hold my hands up and wish you the best in the super 8's.

Since Woolford has arrived in the UK and his suspension ended Brough has turned back the clock 5 years to when he was one of the top players and to have beaten Hull, Wigan and Cas on the bounce is some going.

The fitness level that we seem to have attained since Bumpers arrival helped us lift to a new level when we needed to last night and along with the organisation that we now have we are playing an attractive brand of football in both attack and defence.

Hats off to Hinchy’s tackle on Eden last night as well as 26 tackles off the bench he’s a handful for the opposition and we are mad if we don’t give him another year with an option for a second if he continues to play at this level... he’s a quality player compared to a lot of the imports I have seen throughout this season....
