For me the telling point is how much the performance of players improves after they leave Trinity and work under other coaches. Take Millard and Blanch and to a lesser extent Jeffries this season.We all saw the video of "magic millard" when he played in Australia but he was not allowed to show his undoubted talents in our coaching set-up. Now at Catalans he is showing exactly what we missed.In previous seasons we have released players such as Grix, Atkins,Griffin and others who have gone on to be better players, they can't all be coincidences !

Excuses - sick of hearing them. Earn your money Kear and do something about it.
There is no excuse for conceding as many points as we have done in the past 6 games.
No suprise no offer to step down either or acknowledgement that he might have some responsibility. |

| Quote PHe="PHe"In what way?'"
The starting 13 are playing well for starters.
The comments on the interchange bench - he picks it and insists on putting Hickey on it and a young French lad whose only experience of British RL is the 9's.
No acknowledgement of our failings and what he intends to do about them or that he has to take some responsibility as the coach.
The players are trying their best and we have to have empathy with them. I don't think recent performances suggest that the players are trying their best and we shouldn't be offering excuses for what we are seeing on the field which is totally unacceptable. |

| Quote miamivice="miamivice"although i do agree with the buy english policy that is good for the future of the game, i don't think that any of the english coaches mentioned could really do it for us. we need a new way of thinking.
just look what maguire, smith and brown have done with their teams - they have transformed them almost overnight. this is why we have to look at an australian. not just any aussie though, a good, proven aussie who would be willing to show our players what to do etc etc.
as a game, the aussies are miles ahead of us (if you don't believe it watch the state of origin on wednesday). we need some of that thinking to be put into our club to drive it forward. i am afraid that the english coaches will just do a job for a year or so before running out of ideas.
the above said, having kear in charge (and probably only kear) will score us some "hidden points" in the search for a franchise.'"
I don't agree with the 'almost overnight' bit. They still had top half table teams to start with, and certainly they did improve their teams a lot. |

| Quote TRB="TRB"Not at all, there were many aspects of that regime that I disagreed with, but mostly kept them away from here in respect to the position I had at the time.
Whilst still campaigning for the stadium (and we had a significant meeting just this week) I no longer share any of the deeper understanding of where the club is going - in short, I no longer no what the gameplan is. On that basis I am free to review what occurs and interperit it as I feel is appropriate. People like 'Jack' above can be miserable sods at times, but are they wrong? The same could be said of Mopsey last year - and yes, I did think that at the time.
I assume Glover has a gameplan - there is enough evidence of that, but I feel that there is a massive a fundamental flaw in that the product is sheite! There is nothing about which warms my heart, nothing for me to hang on to - nothing!
So my view is (with respect to both parties) that we have gone from frying pan to frier. Ted got the stadium bit right, and even did remarkably well on the playing side with the funds available. Andrew has got the business in much better shape but has taken time to buy into the stadium (now resolved) but has done nothing to convince me about the playing side of the club - far from it in fact, and I fear that what has occurred is that John has been given a greater say in matters when in fact he works better when he has someone to balance his views.
Put it this way, there is little evidence to suggest that anything will change for the positive if we don't change course - and that has little to do with the previous regime!
 '"
isn't that JK's jobs to look after the playing side of it, just like any Club. You seem like you want to put this on the toes of Glover but last years performance when Ted was around and with better players were just as bad. What do you mean with your last sentence, what's this change in course we need? |

Whether you want to believe or not, the signing of Semi Tadulala was a huge backward step for your club. Tadulala is 30 + was signed from a union club that got relegated. This send out the wrong message to the players. Who's idea it was to sign Tadulala i don't know, but who ever it was should leave the club, NOW.
