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

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.
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.

tough and unpleasant is what we had under anderson.. worked for a while till teams knew how to beat us... things havent changed, time for a different style of rugby ... thing is we have the same players who cant play that different style i dont think... well we know brough cant for one and everything revolves around him... another 1 year deal too

What we had under Anderson was a team who thought that offloading meant helping out when the brewery wagon turned up.

Agree, the players who were generally deemed good enough pre-season to finish mid-table and, if I remember correctly, you seemed to think that this squad was good enough for 6th position. The team has, quite frankly, been awful so far this season and Rick Stone has been unable to get them to perform to the standard of which we think they are capable - even allowing for the injuries beyond his control. Much as I like him as a person, he had to go.

certainly lost it the last two games with those hidings
with them not renewing his deal then its was always borrowed time, get someone in now who can try shape the team going forward best they can
unless they stick with thorman who himself says he has a great relationship with thewlis explains alot now does that
