Difficult Decisions, great headline?? but with everything that is going on in this RL, its not just about the coach, team etc, its more to do with the actual Rugby League itself IMO. With most of the teams in Kingstone Press Championship its slowly dying away, and Professionalism has ruined the real Game and its the same in other sports. Its all about chasing the TV buck now to pay the silly wages. Yet perversely the talent pool seems to be getting shallower..

This Post is something that I come across, and a time where he played rugby back in the day!
"it used to be a grass roots game, working class, accessible to anyone of any standard. we were only talking about how John Pitts saved Keighley when he got a bunch of local lads to fill in one year! That is team spirit, that is what the game is about, working for each other. Compare that to the modern super league that is only about money, they have forgotten about the grass roots game all together! whilst I am in awe of the talent of some super league players. I don't have much respect for the emerging super stars who feel that they are much better than those that have gone before. If I have the likes of Tony Fisher, Peter Roe, John Pitts, Kevin Whitely, Roger Millward, Jimmy Thomson, Les Sellers, Karl Fairbank, Mark Fairbank and a few others that I could name by my side I would pull my boots back on now and line up against any super league side. It would not be pretty but I would do it for nothing! would they?"

Super league has been crap this season so far, dual-reg isnt working for some clubs and however we havent used any castleford players for a while a plus point for Marchy and keeping our boys playing, different rules for Super league n championships regarding comp points, no tv money from premier sports.
With Dual Reg :- Swinton for one has a new coach, with VERY GOOD links with Warrington, in fact played for them! so they do have a PLUS side does swinton but it does take out the main players for Swinton if they use a lot of warrington players, which they have done in Chambo's first game! so instead of 5 players why not just use up to limit of 2. But a pat on the back for Marchy not using any Cas players for a good while.

So it may not just be the coach thats the problem in this case, it could be just the game and the rules of the RFL thats ruining it completely, think of some rules that are not used now but used before and really would be good to see back?

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

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.

Credit where it is due , well done with the signing of Elliot Cosgrove ,
A HUGE step in the right direction .

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.
