Surely pro players dont forget how to tackle and defend in the space of 12 months?

The job to reconstruct this team is a big one, is Lam up to it or is it too big a job for him? We don't know, to give it him is a risk as he has no history as a coach. Do we take a risk on him or look for experience? Or do we do nothing for now and give him time to make the decision a results based one?

I’m now hearing the Tony Smith is being considered as an assistant coach for Lammy.

Like he was for James Lowes?

I find it ironic that some still defend the club blindly even though its now playing home games at a conference centre against 2nd tier opposition where as it used to play at a bespoke rugby stadium against world renowned names such as Wigan and st Helens....

We're playing ourselves?

Yes, in those days we were so good we had to play ourselves to have any decent opposition

Don’t get me wrong I think there’s better coaches out there such as Jason Demetriou but I don’t think that appointing Tony Smith would be a bad idea. I think he’d steady the ship, get us playing to some form of logical game plan, improve our defence and recruit players we need whilst simultaneously firing off those who are patently not good enough (TT, Isa, Clubb, Shorrocks for example).

Its not as simple as firing players off. If they are under contract you need another club to take them on or their wage still counts on the cap simply just saying your going wont work

I’m not getting this, have a missed something?

We are spaced too wide around the ruck when defending our line, also, we don’t seem to want to get off our line, up and out when defending it too. These are rugby league basics when defending your line.

Reconstruct? Lam inherited a champion team who was on an unbeaten run. We lost a few key players which were already replaced.

We won, take the positives and stop moaning. Yes there’s huge room for improvement but we got the two points on offer. Don’t forget Salford dismantled Warrington, they’re not a bad side.

by inferior players

I'm talking long term, as in losing SOL, Tommy and Williams. There's more to a discussion than just the present... Whoever is appointed has to deal with that situation. Your "champion team" will be missing Sam, Bateman, Tommy, Williams and Lockers. The next manager, whoever is appointed has work to do with all this in mind. Burgess is out of contract, Dom may not come back the player he was. Gildart is rumoured to interesting the NRL. So yes our next coach has a hell of a lot to do. Or do you not agree?
