The players are top class, there is no doubting their ability

The tactics and team selection is from mars though and it's the unwillingness to change tactics that's just so frustrating

Look at the teams on top, from SOO to the Championship

The top teams have good, balanced packs. That means props. We have 8 million second rows and as many hookers. Guess which is the right team selection....

Players top class? Not sure about this. Top class players don't lose 7/8 and get beaten by bottom teams. Not top class for me.

But they are, we can see flashes of it week in and week out

The problem is players out of position and a refusal by the coach to change systems

Agree Murphy. If we're using the full salary cap one or two of those players are over paid. Mind you, how else do you persuade players to come when you're not Leeds, Wigan or Saints?

Agree totally. They're not even worthy of the name professional after that showing. If I were KD I'd strip them of their wages. I'd kick Kevin Brown out of the club. He didn't put one single pass to hand today and his performance in the interception try beggared belief.

We have a team of decent players who need to play at the top of their game week in week out to compete. I don't care what's gone on behind the scenes or anything else, they are paid to play to the best of their ability and if they can't do that they should have the personal and professional pride to stick their hands up and walk away. Instead of robbing the club of a wage every week. I can understand why people aren't going to the semi, I'm considering not going to another match after watching the pile of tripe that was served up today.

A team that isn't motivated has to lay blame squarely at the feet of the head coach


Wigan
Saints
Leeds
Wire

All would have sacked their coach a month ago

Has the coach lost the dressing room? What about Anderson, he's on the coaching staff. 17 against 17 we should have won that game. But conceding 50 points is an absolute shambles. Something isn't right.

Anderson isn't the head coach

Maybe the players want him calling the shots
Brown clearly doesn't give a monkeys

It's not that they aren't motivated it's that they appear to be either a) Thick as a brick or b) have the attention span of an autistic goldfish. They make the same mistakes week in week out, even one of pavlov's dogs learned quicker than most of our players. this isn't just about now it's about the last god knows how long I've been watching them. TBF most of our players are young and inexperienced but it's the older more experienced players that are the problem. Apart from Eorl, Danny Brough and O'Donnell most of our elder players offer our youngsters nothing in terms of leadership on the pitch.

Some one has suggested we are spending up to the cap. If we are then whoever is responsible for negotiating our contracts wants sacking because there is no way we should be anywhere near the cap with the level of abillity some of our players are showing.

As an outsider, albeit with a vested interest in brown, I'm not sure this is a good time for balou to take over, especially if as suggested some of the departing players are t giving their all. If he takes over and performances don't improve, then he's on a hiding to nothing. At least of he takes over at the end of the season he has months to work with his own players and must then live and die by the results. Taking over a poisoned chalice now could kill his career before its even begun.

If they are making the same mistakes then it's because hey are being coached in the same poor way

Our players are good, skillfull players - to suggest otherwise is the rankest stupidity


As for Baloo taking over...how about potter for a couple of months, he's out of work now

Not being paid and coaching a worse team to better results
Ffs

Baloo did a good job for the remainder of the season when Sharp was shown the door, albeit with Purtill. Wonder what he's doing at the moment???

i agree...are we not good enough to sack the coach?

the players that were on that pitch today are good enough, should be winning but didnt.

Wouldn't include Leeds in there. They've somehow stuck by McDermott.

they won the grand final
