So
1) he's kept us in Super League with an income close to a newsagent.
2) even with our poor bank account, he managed to get a squad together that can beat your millionaire team 3 times this season
3) as you don't support Wakefield, I can't see why it's a problem to you.

| Yes he did save the club PopTart but he should have changed his approach over the last 5 or 6 years.
Our present situations down to Mr Carter who must be held responsible.
If we do manage to survive does the club continue on its present path and repeat the process next season.
I know you always look on the bright side but I think many supporters are starting to realise that something needs to be done before they shell out on season tickets an make regular visits to B V.
If we do survive the club should make a statement of intent, Infact if relagated also.
Its an extremely difficult time for people and the club will need to bring as many supporters it can along with it.

There aren't many positives on the field right now but Carter's responsibilty to the club is to primarily keep it afloat when other clubs in our position have gone under.
When you talk about revenue streams we are in the middle of one of the biggest projects to change that.
The onfield stuff could change overnight.....either way. But the work on stadium and the work to keep the budget under control is long term and long lasting.

| Quote: vastman "Can't agree with that. He's played centre more than a few times. However he is a wide back where as Batch is a forward. Batch has had one good game at Centre, he's had far more stinkers.
Also this lad is NRL proven and that alone makes him vastly superior to most of our lillie livers.'"
Didn't he get two MoMs at centre, against Hull and Wire?

True, I meant two but the point is he’s hardly a seasoned centre.
That’s not to say I wouldn’t play him there and was baffled to not see him playing there on Saturday.
As I say I’ve totally lost any belief that Poching is up to the job. His inability to settle on a line up is frightening.
I hate to say it but he appears clueless as demonstrated in that second half.

It’s a problem to me because the club are an embarrassment to full time sport. Happy to clear that up for you.

Must admit. I have to agree with you.

| Quote: Trojan Horse "Not sure about that. Batch has played at centre a number of times over the years. Seem to recall he played a number there last season towards back end. I read Taufua was a winger that has probably played only a handful of times at centre.
Not that it matters. We just need whomever plays there to do the business. Whether that’s Batch or Taufua.'"
Looked it up using the excellent rugby league project site, which given it's aussie based it's pretty much spot on regarding NRL stats. It states Taufua has played a centre twice in his entire career, once for Tonga in the 2013 world cup when they lost to Scotland and a big defeat by St George in 2020. Chucking him in there given our current predicament would come with a high degree of risk. Who knows might pay off but i'd probably go Batch myself given his last two performances in that position.

Exactly. If he’s a left winger predominantly then play him there with Hall and move Murphy to the right with Batch. Seems the most logical.
I just watched the reserves and Kershaw had a strong game. Maybe another reserves game but he’s definitely be in my thoughts.

Why leave it so late to bring Whitbread and Hood back on.
What kind of defence was that in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
His players are a disgrace but after a year they are his players.
For the first time since 2006 I don’t think we can stay up. This team if you can call it that has no heart.
Great new ground, no team, how ironic.'"
care to fill that fat gut of yours with humble pie

Hold on aren’t you the same Snowie who hated the club, didn’t want to go ever again, I hate you all for accepting mediocrity or was that a different poster. You know the one whose best buddy was the pimp not so long ago.
How two faced and dishonest are you? You really are a nasty piece of work and a total hypocrite. It’s ok for you to personally name call but when I did it you pulled me up. I may have a fat gut but that’s better than a fat two faced head.
As for Poching you do realise we are still second from bottom and could still go down. I really can’t believe your that dim and I couldn’t care less what names you call me or how much faux outrage you show. It’s not over yet!
Tbh I’ve never respected you, I’ve always suspected you’re just a five pints tough guy but now you’ve show it for real.
I’ll reserve my judgment on Poching till this time next year or the end of the season depending.
Now bore off you sad little man

Can you now reserve your judgement considering you’re the one who created this thread?
I’d say you’ve already made your opinion on Poching and his coaching ability fairly clear.

Don’t drag me into the fact that you have managed to annoy another forum member. I wouldn’t say someone is a best buddy just because they have the same opinion on a subject or a person. I have on occasion even found common ground with you but I hope that doesn’t make you my best buddy.
