In the last 53 weeks we've played 3 semi finals and not showed up in any of them.

10-40
4-28
12-26

I can't think what our game plan was in any of them. Leeds played the conditions perfect today - can anyone tell me what our game plan was?

Fully expect us to get to the last four and then lose when it really matters - Lam is completely out of his depth in big games and the team look like rabbits in the headlights when it matters.

I hope we're looking at a new coach for next season that isn't a mate of Radlinski.

Bar the last month we must of been watching two different teams as we have been poor in many matches and obviously choked big time in every big game.
We still look like we don't actually have a game plan or set moves, but its all opinion's i suppose.

I cannot see Lam being given the heave ho. Despite the circumstances he finished top of the pile and that counts for something. At last the defence seems to have been organised to allow the rest of the team to play. In the forwards we can all see that we are one dominant prop short and someone need to carry the can for the George Burgess fiasco but probably not Lam. Other than that we look as good for next season as I can remember. The backs worry me because I like to see pace outside and our wingers all seem to be broken.
I think that we look better balanced when we can go with three forwards and a back on the bench so seeing Clubb, O'loughlin and Burgess keeping a single seat warm is a really frightening prospect. A real test of Lams leadership qualities will be if he can say to those three "Sorry lads but you have not done enough to warrant inclusion".

Of course you can.

Some coaches work out, others don't.

Look at the appointment of Ian Millward. A total success at Saints, a disaster at Wigan.

It's never as simple as you guys who are constantly (and pointlessly) lobbying for the chairman's removal always claim.

Adrian Lam is here because Ian Lenagan made one mistake: trusting Shaun Edwards. Line that up against all his trophy wins and he doesn't look like so much of a catastrophe..

This GF semi is the big test for Lam. If we win then he's safe. If the team perform as they have done in the past three semis under his coaching then he will go. Perhaps not for 2021 as IL could well sign him for a year which will give him 12 months to find a quality coach.
Come 2022 and it's the club's 150th anniversary when all expectations from everyone associated with the club will be a trophy (s). Having a coach in place in 2022 who can't win semis is quite simply not an option.
So this GF semi is massively important for Lam.

With the 150 year anniversary, are we forgetting the few years in which we didn't exist?
