Well no, not if it means Cummins steps up into his place.
It’s brutal to say but the writing was on the wall against Featherstone pre season.
I watched it and had a bad feeling of what was coming.
The wins against Warrington were not because we were good - they were rank bad!
Many of the players are NOT SL standard, nor are the coaches.
BUT get off the back of MC and JM because we wouldn’t have been in the fight at all without them.
Miller, Lino and 3/4 more can go for me. Give me a Paul Sykes and Flynn any day of the week!'"
No.
MC/JM hold the purse strings.
They appointed a cheap option of Poching with no head coach experience, rather than have the foresight to invest in some experience.
MC was too pally with Chester and big lumps of cap were taken up by wastes of money in eg: Gaskell/Lineham.
This left Poching (cheap option) looking for bargain basement players: Sid/Evans/Minns/Davetanivalu - hoping they may plug the gaps and add some squad depth.Even now they are trying to fix it with bringing Hulls 7th choice prop in/ an NRL player trying to resurrect his career/Butler.
Whether we would be in the fight or not without MC is totally irrelevant and it certainly doesn't buy them a free pass forever, because in essence all he has done in is give us a stay of execution.
MC has treated supporters with contempt, yes he loves the photo op clearing snow..............but his "love in " with Chester has ultimately led to the position we are in.
who I think has been decent. The likes of Lineham, Gaskell, Hood and Butler have been bang average, again I did say they were part of the reason not just solely rested on them as slot of our current squad have been poor too.
