|  If Chris Thorman manages to get any points at all in the next week he should definitely get to keep the job.
Next to No prep time on the busiest week of the RL calendar, the champions, a trip to Catalan three days later for a bottom table clash, and followed by the LL, all with a massive injury list, and to top it all his Missus has given Birth to a son today. |

Wow, thats a very good side there. I see Neil Henry is at 12/1 in the betting but I feel he would be another Rick Stone type for you guys. I would love to see you try tempt Jason Demetriou over. Knows the climate so no settling and been very successful thus far every job he has touched. If its given to Thorman I worry for you not that I know much of his coaching ability but the camp would still be the same minus Stone. Think you need a shake up

Break the bank and bring in Maguire. He might coach wrestlemania but he gets results and would sort out those that aren't giving 100%.

| Quote: bilko1941 "Whats more to the point Brearley how come that these contracted players don't have their contracts ripped up after all it is they who are playing the tripe that Stone was sacked for.They most certainly have not been playing professional Rugby League.Try watching the warm up carefully and I will lay money you will be able to see the players who don't want to bother.Why sack Thewlis and Thorman they are not players and I might add Thorman at his best was equal to some of these con artists who are playing now.People ask why we don't attract more spectators having watched this lot this season it speaks for its self I'll bet that Leeds have more speccies Friday than we do!
Strangely enough this has been going on for quite a few years it is nothing new.RL is a hell of a hard game I you go on the field and give less than 100% you will get injured.Does this ring a bell Brearley.'"
never mind the warm ups! what about in the last few games when we have been losing the players take an age to form the scrum??? disgusting, no urgency at all... too cosy down a the giants, knowing they will get their pay check from ken davy, been like this for years now, whole club is rotten from the top needs a culture change |

The clubs biggest mistake over that was believing that others involved would act with integrity.
One of our problems is we are too nice. |

How do you mean next to no prep time? How longs he been at the club? Maybe take a while if he's got the intention to change the way we play but he's nothing to lose with the next 2 games so let them play open rugby and put himself in with a shot at taking over permanently. We'll see what happens on Friday.

Mal Reilly said something similar in his autobiography. Too nice to win anything.
I’d go further - they lack the courage to try to win. Frightened of failure, which guarantees you’ll fail. |

Would you rather play nice rugby and continue to lose more than you win? Or play it tough but unpleasant and win more?
Do you have that luxury? |

Maguire made it clear to Warrington that he would not return to the UK in any circumstances. No disrespect, but I doubt if he'd change his mind for the Giants. |
