And your definition of success is what.

We are going backwards whether that is Andersons fault or not none of us know unfortunately. But if recruitment and retention is out of his hands and that is the chief execs decisions the role of the coach is to work with what we have got.

Anderson cannot motivate the players that he has got now. So the only option is to try something or someone else.

When Anderson got the job it was quoted by the CLUB that there were a lot of high calibre coaches who were available both here and in OZ.

I have no doubt that there are a lot of assistant coaches in the NRL or toyota cup who would jump at the chance to come over here and build a reputation..

It worked for Smith who improved us before jumping ship and with Brown initially.

There are what 36 coaches positions in the world of RL at a decent level. When you look at Australia there have to be more than 36 potential coaches.

If you dont look then you will not find

If yo are failing then that is an option.

I work in Local Authority's who failed OFSTED inspections in Child Protection. . So i work where things are really bad. As a manager my job is to help improve things. Every where i have worked i have led to improvements in the areas that i can control.

What you cannot do and what all of these Local Authorities have in common is that they knew things were not going well but did nothing.

Inertia is as dangerous as doing things badly.

You have to take steps to improve things. If the manager is not improving things that they can control then after a period of time they have to go.

1 win in the last 12 is a failure.

Intertia will guarantee more failure.

Well put, I could not agree more. Whoever is in charge of recruitment should be held responsible and should be sacked. Who is it ?? Stand up .

This is common knowledge but the squad is the coaches and McGillivery, Cudjoe, Crabtree and Rapira are or were full internationals. Brough is probably the best English half back over the last three years. Hinchcliffe played 13 at a top NRL club and Huby was on the verge of an international call toO. On paper we can field a competitive 17 with the spine of the team that finished 3rd last year. Sorry I didn't expect top 4 this years squad was always too shallow but bottom with that squad one win from nine??? don't give me the guff that the coach and coaching team are blameless like all teams/ business's the coaches/directors put a performance plan in place in line with the annual budget. Anderson has rattled on relentlessly about top 4 and Grand Finals so if that wasn't the objective what was because Anderson bases his credibility on telling it as it is !! Someone's got I wrong probably several someone's !!

The players were more than backed by us fans yesterday for 80 minutes and this is a forum for debate and airing our views both good and bad.

Don't lay this on the fans look at the reaction by Warrington fans if they drop off or when we beat them last year that wasn't how it was yesterday the team were supported to the bitter end and I am surprised by your comment if you were there !!

I'm sure the lads really appreciate hearing - "you're nothing special we lose every week" and similar.

What are you on about

If you consider finishing as one of the top 4 teams in the country 3 years running as 'failure' then you're expectations are way higher than mine which is fair enough but i'm sure most fans would consider his record since taking over to be more of a success than a failure.

This year is an exception, we are playing poorly and struggling at the bottom , we haven't done that for years, we have constantly been up at the top and seen as challengers.

Paul Anderson can only be judged on what the club has done while he's been in charge and his record shows he's not done too bad, certainly not bad enough for him to be called a failure !.

Like i said it's all down to opinion and expectations.

The comments on the guardian website are pretty spot on, and much more beside
