Quote: raceman "Our situation is caused more by the fact that stone is unable to get the players to gel as a unit and play for each other, put their bodies on the line for each other ect. They are not playing as a unit and I see that as stones job to install this mentality and motivation into the players. When he comes out with comments like "if I had my way I would have a team full of Aussie players as I do not rate you English guys" then that is going to cause a massive rift immediately. Man management and Rick Stone are not 2 things that go together at all.'"


He is obviously no better at it than Anderson was, In fact to me he looks like a carbon copy.

If this is the case then questions need to be asked about your recruitment team rather than blaming the coach alone
You were garbage in 2016 under Anderson and have regressed even further in 2017 but IMO it is not only the coach that should burden the blame.

Has Ken Davy finally given up on his quest for glory and his subsequent shelling out for quality players?
You signed 4 Bulls players prior to this season in Gaskell,Clough,Ferguson and Mellor and that clearly shows the owners ambition does it not?'"


5 you missed obrien- mellor and o brien were stones signings....

Love Rugby League article from Stone complaining at our lack of depth. I just find this infuriating, we have some of the best youngsters we have ever had at the club, we do have a lack of quality in the first 17 but we do have more depth than previous years.

Our team yesterday was more than good enough to beat a Swinton team with 15 fit players. It's about time Stone started taking some responsibility instead of blaming everyone and everything else..

Ouch! That has to sting a bit. Not here to mock, I hope you can turn your season around. Your Chairman, deserves more success after the incredible work he has done over the years trying to build your club and fan base up. I genuinely don't understand why your support base isn't bigger. Good luck for the rest of the season, bar your next game icon_wink.gif

So if he knows we have no depth why didn't he play a stronger side...

exactly

it cant all be laid at stones door, this is why i have questioned how thewlis has been allowed to keep his job... why stop at stone??

he wasnt even allowed to bring in his own coaching team, thorman and robinson he was given

but yeh lets all blame stone, even the players dont have to take some responsibility icon_rolleyes.gif

true but play too many youngsters all at once and it doesnt work

need to blood them slowly one or two

but when your hands are tied with injuries what can you do?

understandable when we have a short turnaround with a game on thursday

like he says im sure all of us thought the team yesterday was good enough to win that game

attitude was all wrong from the players

No it can't all be laid at his door but a lot of it can, Whoever the players on the field are it's his job to get them up for the task,

The biggest part of a coaches job is to get the players motivated, Practice is supposed to take care of the rest. That was Andersons biggest problem as well. You don't have to look far to see coaches who have these skills and the effect they have on making fairly average players into very good Teams. N Brown was the best we have had for a long time.

That's fair comment, and yet Kear has done a decent job everywhere else he has been.

Isaac Farrell and Matty English only ones making debuts, Murphy, smith, ifahikahifo, rapira plenty of appearances, Darnell, sam, jared and Tyler not green, Mellor Roberts and o'brien plenty of appearances along with Gaskell mason and leemimg So Hardly a makeshift team with no experience
