| Noble over Lam? I wouldn't say things have gotten that bad yet (and I say this even though I will be forever grateful to Noble for saving us from relegation).
We just can't seem to piece together a strong team on a weekly basis due to bad luck with injuries as well as bad recruitment planning from management.

| I think it worth reiterating with regards to Lam that he has not had an easy ride of it. His first season was marred by the Edwards fiasco and this year has been about managing Covid and all it's implications. Let's face it, no coach has shone this year and are unlikely to. In fact, I'd put Lam's performance near, if not at, the top of the pile. I'd be interested to see how he'd go in a season not completely disrupted by external factors.

| Quote: jonh "We are playing some cracking rugby, we are joint top of the league and into a Challenge Cup semi final.
We have some experienced players like Powell, Farrell, Hardaker and Tommy in particular who even at the stages of their careers have improved massively under him.
There are more kids getting significant game time in big games than I can ever remember.
He has been a key figure in bringing French and Hastings to the club.
I really don’t know what more Lam has to do to convince some he is doing a good job.'"
Your season is mirror imaging ours, in that we have an equal opportunity to compete for both prizes on offer (three if you wish to include the hubcap). We've had calls for Price to be replaced for reasons of both results, and/or the way the team plays.
As things stand, with both clubs in good shape to challenge at the business end of the season, would IL or SJM seriously consider a change at the helm? The only way that any such notion would be entertained, is if AL or SP had had a word with their chairman and said that they'd enjoyed their time at the club, but it was time for a change and wished to return home to Australia.

Agreed

| Quote: Grimmy "If we beat Leeds then Wire (or Salford) to lift the cup I'm sure even his biggest critic would give it up.'"
I think I’d have to, I would look a bit silly as would others. I already know full well he’s our coach for 2021 irrespective of cup/league success (or not).
To follow on with Watson; I do like him as a coach and he has turned Salford around. He may be capable, he may not be as it is for any other coach out there. IMO he’d be better served going to Leeds and taking them back to where they were. They’re a club in dire need of resurrecting whereas for me we don’t need resurrecting, just taking to the next level where we should be. Having said that we’ve been playing exceptionally for the past few games.

I agree, and so, I suspect do the majority of our more fair minded supporters.
