Could it be that Poching actually pushed them and demanded professionalism from them and they didn't like it. Cos let's be honest whatever training they are getting this year must be atrocious!'"
All those players
Probably the two most influential players from our pack retired in Fifita and Arona
We lost our captain and half back in Miller. These players had all been with us a good few years..
Add to that our best strike player was injured and didn’t play after the Salford game..
James Batchalor decided he wanted a new challenge.
We lost Murphy in game two of this season…
All the above were a big influence at the back end of the season and helped get us over the line..
Now …. I’m not disputing that our recruitment has been poor, the board took a chance on MA being head coach… it hasn’t worked out…
But there are posters on here calling for him to be sacked when given there’s a good chance that we’re going to be bought out, I see little point in getting rid while negotiations continue! (The sooner they are resolved the better)
Wether the new bloke wants to keep MA on the pay role in whatever job title is up to him…
My point was that he did an excellent job in bringing the young lads on and was instrumental in getting us an elite academy licence ( no mean feat considering our lack of funds)
The new man might want to consider this …
It’s up to him..
