We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one - for me he needs to be averaging a trophy once ever two years (the record Leeds have). If he can win on Saturday he'll have done this and i'll be happy.

Lets just enjoy the week

Only our fans could discuss whether or not the coach should be sacked in a Grand Final thread.

The thread was derailed by AUOP in the very first reply to the OP. Still, it's been a good thread IMO. For me the quality of performance has been lacking for most of the season but, as we all know, it always comes down to how you play in Autumn, not Spring. Whether we win the GF or not I give SW qualified support just for getting us there, even if the images of our backs making the hard yards all season are still fresh in my mind.

But what would your answer to Charlie's question be? If we don't win on Saturday, so the "frank discussion" has to take place, who do you bring in who could do any better? I honestly don't think there is anyone at this stage. Not only are a lot of our players young, still learning and improving game on game, a lot of them have been with SW for years and would run their blood to water for him. Knee jerk getting rid of SW for reaching 3 grand finals on the bounce and bringing in a Powell or similar would be suicide IMO.

Last year we lost McIlorum in the week leading up to GF and Flower got sent off in the 2nd minute. Either of those things don't happen and we are back to back GF winners IMO. Yes the away performances and results need to improve and we've had two disappointing early exits in the cup, but it is pretty daft to be talking about getting rid of Wane.

Wonder if Faz will consider coming back to RL now? You've got to imagine they'll have a coaching clear-out and no doubt Owen will get hung out to dry for getting sin-binned.

Spot on JJ

I've just read a comment on Facebook saying 'Burgess has again proved he's not good enough for Rugby Union and should move back to League'



It was a poor showing from him not being able to turn the game on its head in 11 minutes. I mean he touched the ball once and put a winger in the clear but still.

Top quality facebook trolling that. Surely.

Who else can't wait to wind up some rugger folk in town on Saturday?

That's a very good point actually. Personally I'll certainly be bombing any union camera crews I can spot. I'm in town for other stuff for most of the afternoon anyway. It'll be a good game baiting the Eton schoolboys.

And it's taken less than 10 minutes for some Muppet on 5Live to slag off Burgess. The blame game soap opera is in full swing. Priceless.

First comment by the reporter on SSN when discussing Lancasters failings was him picking Burgess.

Yeah that was the main issue! They're unbelievable.

I hope Burgess has seen (heard) enough.
