Quote: Pat Bateman "I agree with what you’ve said. The issue with the A-B-C categories is surely flawed. Isn’t it a coaches job to see potential in players and get say a C into a B playing mould. What would Walmsley or Bullock of been in the championship when both saints and Wigan saw potential. How many A’s have come to the UK and bombed. It’s the coaches job to get the best out of the team, and that’s clearly not happening as our form and results clearly show.'"
Absolutely bang on PB I agree entirely. If it's not one excuse for defeat it's another, then another. The fact remains this coach should be doing a far better job with these players regardless of what tier they're categorised in, where they came from or how much they cost. If Ian Watson can take Salford to a Grand Final and Challenge Cup Final in successive seasons I'm damn sure he should be getting far more out of our current squad of players.
