Was it really as bad as it sounded on the Radio. Very very glad i didn't tram over there.

would love to know what our cap is . are we on a shoe string or do we have a MD who pays top dollar to rubbish

People on here soon change their spots , when dire recruitment and a chief exec not fit for purpose were highlighted in the off season , bottom 4 is a given can Rick Stone keep us out of the MPG ?

can rick stone get into the million pound game gave them the bennfit after wakey game . but now looks shoot

I have been saying all along, He needs time, he needs time, but it's hard to disagree with a lot of the comments on here. He doesn't appear to be making any headway at all, and the worst thing is there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel,

We look a very mediocre team at best, who look like they are just there to get paid, and some of these players we are stuck with for a long time. I'm sure it's not that simple, but it sure looks that way.

I commented at a similar time last year and called for andersons head and got laughed at by the regulars on this site i.e jools and co, and i was right in what i said in the end as i have just double checked my post! so please feel free to do the same again! Im not calling for rick stones head yet!! but my observations so far are.....Ryan Brierley is never a superleage scrumhalf. We risked players who were not 100% tonight just to try and win what we obviously consider to be make or brake against the newly promoted team! Our attack is still woeful even under a new coach with a FULL off season to improve it, and i reckon our defense is a tad worse as it stands! where is the next 2 points coming from? shoot me down if we win our next 2 or 3 games but i somehow doubt it!

Can't believe you loaned out Jamie Ellis....

A full pre-season to put things right, a full pre-season to sign even half decent players who would show some desire, a full pre-season to bring in decent attacking structures, a full pre-season to clear out some dead wood.

Instead we are looking like the nightmare never ended, same tactics, same lack of desire, very poor recruitment even if we only credit him with Shambles Wakeman. Some dead wood was shipped out to be fair, but suddenly they look like solid, decent players when in a well coached team, and there is the problem....

He is the head coach, he is in charge of this garbage. He must take responsibility. His decisions are appalling. He is employed to get the most from his employees (the players), much like other people in other professions. He isn't doing that, and has had 6 months to plan, organise and implement his ideas and show at least some signs of improvement through these. Again he has failed to do so.

We need to learn from last year's near-disastrous indecision at board level and act in the next 4 weeks, as a certain other chief exec has promised to do. Getting to the end of august and acting then is not good enough and the damage to the team and their confidence and morale will be beyond repair.

Can't believe we ever signed Jamie Ellis!

Ken won't get rid, with baloo board wanted him gone long time before he did but ken wanted to be loyal, stone safe regardless and players safe too, tjewlos remit is too reduce debt

hinchcliffe was a 3 year deal

gutted ...thought it was only 2

no it wasnt as bad , we bossed most departments apart from one that mattered most ..scoring tries

leigh scored on their first attack!!! 2nd try was abit dodgy

you would think with thorman and robinson coaching the attack would be alot better??!?!?!

First 3 rounds looking okay,as in progress being made after last year.The amount of field position we had in the first 20 minutes against Salford we should have put early points on but, same old failings when it came to the attacking structure. Don't see how Stone can get blamed for that it's been the same problem for years,right back to when they got shot of Brett Hodgson.

Probably played worse against Wakefield, but toughed it out 2nd half.

When I saw the number of injuries and compounded by Gaskell pulling out I knew we would get tonked by HullFC so put that down to a set of unfortunate circumstances.

Last night yet again lot's of field position but came away with nothing on the board.

What does concern me is the field position has all come on the back of Seb & Ukuma's strong go forward.Dread to think how we would go if those two picked up long termers. The interchange forwards have still got it all to prove to the fans.What has Nathan Mason done to upset RS.Came off the bench late the other week and his metres per carry were as good as any.Maybe he doesn't trust him on d.

Someone says drop Broughy,NO WAY that should happen for mine. I would drop his half back partner until they can get him fully up to speed with the timings on the attacking structures,as well as the decision making.

Desperate times,and I would seriously give Hinchcliffe a shot at 7,I'm pretty sure he could play pivot on the attacking structures.Of course then it also relies on the timing of the FB chiming into the line,who has to be capable of drawing in the defenders before realising the ob's hopefully on the overlap.

Of course stone can be blamed if there ARE no attacking structures. If we have all that possession and territory we need to be converting it into points. Leigh's coaching staff must have had their easiest week leading up to a game as all the defence had to do is mark their own man- no Dummy runners, no switch plays, no fullback running round the back, nothing creating space. The only "move" we make is the short inside pass from brough - which never comes off. It's the coaching staff who coach the structures....
