Dare I say it I'm actually excited now for the game on Sunday. At last a chance to see if the players didn't perform because they didn't believe in the coach or there is something else fundamentally wrong.
Fair enough for Dickens to rule the roost this weekend whilst we find a longer term solution.
I definitely would have Kear as first choice. No hesitation. I think he would relish the opportunity and can see the "potential" quality of this squad. He has no experience of working with Tim Smith, Godinet and some of the other exciting players we have. If he is in contention he must be licking his lips.
I dare say as well there maybe a release clause at Batley should the SL come knocking. After all wasn't he putting his CV in for the Cas job not so long ago. Also at a time when Cas were financially on the brink, as we now know.
I think there is enough time for someone to come in and turn us around in time for the split. Sunday confirmed to me that we have enough quality in our team to get a comfortable victory over the likes of Leigh. We just need to restore team spirit, motivation and a never say die attitude. If we do that I have a lot of confidence that we'll be in Super League next year.
Also, I think Widnes at home is a perfect post Webster match. Away from home they haven't been great and I think they are destined for the middle 8s like us. A perfect opportunity to make amends for that drubbing at their place and start setting a benchmark.
Come on Trin. I am genuinely excited again.
