Quote: Dominance "This was my first game this season and what and eye opener!
We look to have no defensive structure, no cohesion in attack and look void of any spirit. I don't expect us to win every game and will happily accept a defeat when the lads have given 100%. You can forgive errors when the commitment is there, but a few of the players need to have a look at themselves. How many times did we have 3 men in the tackle, but the player got the ball out.
We can't exclusively blame the coach and the players have to take their fair share of the blame, but I'm sorry peeps, something has to give. I know we are only 4 games in, but from what I have seen tonight, from Micky's videos and the pre-season games I think we need a change. Marchy may be a nice bloke but I fear if we let this situation continue we could in trouble.
Last years team would have put 50 points past Swinton tonight. IMO Swinton were not good and were there for the taking.'"
Quote: Dominance "I am afraid to say the day of reckoning has arrived for Marchy.
After yet another unacceptable performance it’s time to act before it’s too late to salvage our status as a Championship club. I have seen enough over 8 games with only one win to know that the promised new style of attacking rugby is nothing more than a pipe dream. The players are giving 100% but are a shadow of their former selves…totally disorganised and playing as individuals.
Tonight’s game against Swinton could have ended up far more embarrassing than the score suggested. We cannot continue on this path, the Cougars very survival is at stake'"
Sort of says it all really. Sad times.
