Very good post and in all honesty I make you right on all points, apart from possibly the coach.

If you go back to last season, the first half of it, we were performing very well and up in the top six in the league with a squad not disimilar to what we have now, so the question is what has gone wrong since then, yes we have had our share of injuries and with our squad strength we are probably effected more than other teams. I feel that if we can afford a change in coach it certainly wont make us a worse team surely, and maybe someone with different ideas and tactics may help to improve our players, at the moment most of our players seem to be going backwards. When Huddersfiel got a new coach at the beginning of last season(I think), they improved dramatically due to a change in tactics and play(you may not agree with the way they play) but they have certainly become a very good and generally consistent team.

So just maybe with a change of coach and tactics things might improve and with improvement on the pitch just maybe someone might want to invest in us and that may go some way to averting your doomsday senario. It is a long shot I know, but I really want Rugby League to survive in London and be successful.

Don’t come this [iusual suspect [/irubbish-Its interesting that your level of Rhetoric has risen at the same time the level of the fans discontent has risen.
[iLet’s take advantage of my opponents turned back and throw a cheap rabbit punch.[/i

Have you ever considered steadfast in adversity as an option rather than your current option of kick the man whilst he is down.

The trend is noted.

As I have posted elsewhere.....6 games out of 59 at the stoop with a 5k+ gate. If anyone thinks that this is acceptable, please do tell...

As for rhetoric and rabbit punching....never had to throw a cheap shot. The club and most on here know who I am and I will back up any argument/debate face to face, by phone or video conference if need be

I don't give a flying one for the sensibilities of those that can't face facts.......I said the club needed more fans in 2003....and I will keep on saying it. I have never turned up the rhetorical (sic) volume to suit the mood.

From day #1 I have said the marketing of the club has been shi7e....from the days I met with a young lady in a porta-cabin at the stoop (great landlords quins were in those days) all the way to meetings with the RFL placed representative assisting the club last year.....the club fail to grasp that they have to fight for attention.

Trend noted? What the Fu(k? I have always been a gobby tw@....no trend there. icon_wink.gif

Quote: Perry "Just one observation from the KR game; O'Callaghan did some good stuff going forward but seemed to think he was attacking all game. I lost count of how many times he wasn't even looking at Kris Welham let alone marking him. KR could have scored 20 tries down that wing if they'd been sharp enough. And what makes it worse is that I didn't see the centre inside him pulling him up for it. That is the sort of basics that the coach can and should be dealing with. BTW I'm not suggesting that O'Callaghan was solely responsible for the debacle, it's just one example of where the team were just not doing the basics.'"
I totally agree, the boy looked out of his depth. BUT he is not helped by the joker on his inside. As an example, it is common practice to number off from the outside, so the winger picks his man (normally the opposite winger) and points him out, the centre takes the next man, etc. Too often O'C was pointing to his man and then there were 2 or 3 opposition blokes facing a gap before there was any sign of Clubb, goodness knows who he was pointing at ..... then there was no communication to resolve the issue. Lo and behold, 2 or 3 man overlap on a number of occassions and O'C looks like a fool as the winger saunters in unopposed. O'C needs a spell in the reserves getting his confidence back, Clubb needs to move into the pack where he belongs.

You're spot on. But again that is something the coach can look to address. Unfortunately the problems with the boardroom and the marketing are things hat he can't.

I'd like to disagree, but I'm struggling to.
