| Anyone blaming Lenagan instead of Lam for that shambles need their head testing.

Certain posters have been after him for the past 6/7/8 years, theyll relate every little thing that goes wrong back to him to try and make out hes the issue.
Said it before, if anyone knows a multi millionaire who fancies throwing 20million at the club and propping up losses every year whilst being criticised for doing so please let us know whi he is as IFL may be willing to offload.
Until then were going to have to put up with the usual rubbish about IFL being tight, taking money out the club and/or just in general being a tight wad.
Whilst at the same time acknowledging that a large % of those people cant put their £20 a week into the club whilst hes put probably £10,000,000 million in.

| The squad is absolutely fine, in fact it’s more than that, it’s a very good one at superleague level. A good coach could compete for every single trophy with this squad.

Once again I agree, you don't need to look to far to see the effect a coach who knows what hes doing with Holbrook and Saints,his impact was immediate and they never really looked back..and their squad id wager was far worse than what Lam has at his disposal at present.
The only issue I have with Lenegan is how long he will let this ride on, this isn't a 2 game problem, this is a problem that was there for all to see last season.

| I would get rid of Lam as well, but who do we get if he goes? Do we promote someone like Darrell Goulding or look overseas for another inexperienced assistant in the NRL

| Easter is deadline day for me. Everyone said there were no excuses for Lam coming in to this season and he’s had a pretty horrendous start in terms of improvement from last year.
A coach is there to lead the way and bring the best out of his players. He’s responsible for making them better players and ultimately for results. All he got last year was a few scrappy results but in terms of players improving or playing their best rugby, it was non existent pretty much (Sam Powell maybe).
Say we brought in the new Justin Holbrook/Michael Maguire and I made a list of players I think could offer up more than they’ve done under Lam and honestly I think it would be 20 strong.

| Agree with the comments about this squad's capabilities. It pretty clear we have the ability to walk all 3 trophies this season. Not saying we should or will but we could and are well capable but just keep under performing. Joe Greenwood was superb for Wane and was a major force in our GF success and now all of a sudden he is garbage etc. That back line is ridiculous when fit
1. French
2. Manfredi
3. Hardaker
4. Gildart
5. Marshall
6. Hastings
7. Smith/Tommy
That is a very skillful back line and half. We should be tearing sides apart but............................ You can't do that if your props aren't cutting the mustard. The problem lies up top. We need big metres and big carries and some senior players to step up. The raging Bullock is prime for this but if the rumours are true then he needs to sort his lax and billy big balls attitude out. Not a fan of Flower but he can come back in for me too and not seen Clark yet so cant comment.

IL took the easy and probably cheap option on Lam. He’s on a rolling contract and you aren’t going to get a top coach coming on those sort of terms. You’d also struggle to get one if the coach has as little say in signings and back room staff as we are led to believe in my opinion.
So,if Lam does get the boot sooner rather than later, it would not surprise me at all to see the job given to Lockers.

The club have known about the forwards not cutting the mustard for a few years but still continue to reward under performing players with contract extensions, starting positions and low minutes on the field.
If we had a pack that could make 50-60 metres a set we'd be laughing with that backline.

Agreed. There is no balance to our squad at all. All of the talent is in the backs, barring Lockers and Farrell. Hastings doesn’t turn into an average half overnight, he just had the platform to play at Salford that we can’t/won’t give him (and French).

Correct, the quality of players from outside the club has gone down since the time of Madge being the Coach
Even the website is out of date. We are now into the season and still we do not know who is playing in the Under 18 and 16 Academy and Womens teams.
Hardly surprising that sale of season tickets has not been very good!
