It is with regret that I am using this forum to get my point across however the decisions currently being taken by Rugby League are too important to ignore.

Building a successful club cannot be achieved with unsuccessful results. You need to act NOW and change the coach I understand how difficult this is to do but you have to make these decisions as chairman.

We had a very difficult decision to make that started Cougarmania that was to sack Tony Fisher after only one game he was a top chap but that decision defined our future. Gary you are faced with a similar decision today. Do you stick with Paul March or bring in a new coach. Paul has been given a fair crack but has not produced results and I do not believe he can turn things around.

Now is the time to appoint a new coach, there have never been more coaches available with SL getting rid of their reserves. We would have no trouble attracting an ambitious coach particularly with the plans announced this week. It would give the new coach time to save the team from relegation and evaluate the players needed to be brought in next season to attain Super League 2 in 2015.

Now that Sky have lost Rugby Union to BT vision in 2015 they will be prepared to fund Super League 2 with serious money along with the current ground improvements you are planning we will be in a great position. Failure to maintain our status in the Championship this season would be a criminal waste after all the efforts of JD and yourselves.

Gary I know you are committed to achieving the best for Cougars but if you do not act now we will be relegated and be in Championship 1 for at least 2 years. Believe me your dreams will only come true if you are brave.

Quote: Dominance "To answer your point, Wane IMO is an activist but has plenty of others around him to provide analytical theories and tactics helping him formulate the game plan. Unfortunately, we are not blessed with such resources. Goulding's an interesting option but would he be attracted to the Cougars? From what I've heard anywhere Golding goes David Ferriol would follow?'"


Some great ideas being banded about but I don't think the board have any intention of changing anything .....hope I am wrong.

Quote: Wooden Stand "I wonder if you think the club should try to get Bobbie Goulding in as part-time Head Coach with Paul March becoming his p-t assistant player/coach?'"


Marchy is a talented coach with a good pedigree (look at the success he had at Hunslet and York). Given the closeness of the bottom 9 places this league will be decided in the 2nd half of the season, not the first half. The best step forward our club can make is an emphatic win tomorrow night.

I wish I could share your optimism , nearly a fortnight later and we are in the
same predicament - Looking relegation straight in the eyes.

This post is as relevqnt today as when it was first posted.
Saved by the skin of our teeth....
Today , yet again , we were just not up to it and were beaten by a team that wanted it more
on the day , It is a good job Fev give Hunslet a good hiding or who knows what could
have happened if ither teams had performed different and to stay in the championship
on tje merit of a bonus point just doesn't do it for me.
The same old same old all season , the same results most of the season, the same
post match video excuses most od the season.
If this term has been a learning curve then lessons must be learnt from it.
Time for a new broom to sweep clean, Sorry Marchy but you just didn't cut the
mustard I.M.o.
