Agreed - its getting duller by the season - if i didnt have a season ticket i certainly wouldnt be going to every home game for the rest of the season because
1.) they are underperforming and lack desire
2.)theres nowt to play for in all honesty - RA cant get this bunch to perform and before too long we will be so far adrif we'll need a telescope to even see 8th.

CBA

you've got webster waiting in the wings to take over he coached us to a cup final and a long unbeaten run in the league while he was caretaker coach and he was only about 25 at the time

Can't believe all this negativity - yes the results and performances havent been as good as we'd hoped but we are in a year zero, this time last year we didnt know if we'd still have a club to support. Im writing this year off as a learning curve, if we are still facing similar problems this time next year, then is the time for negativity.

I think part of the negativity/concern is the loss of casual support during this this season, you and me will turn up but the floaters will probably jack it in. Thats not to say they won't return next season if things pick up but its a worry.

If attendances tail off then cash flow becomes a problem.

Apart from Ted out and Glover in, nothing much really changed. We had well over half a season to bed in last year.
We should not need a learning curve This lot cost nearly double last years bunch and its looking like they will win less games. You may wish to make excuses for that but to me its unacceptable

Oh yes and tell all those new season ticket holders that they've blown their money for nothing as we are writing this season off.

Agar as coach was mutted long before it was announced so was some of the players we signed before Agar became the coach his recomendations.Him being made coach appeared so much cloack and dagger at the time.There will be some casual fans not coming back and some who bought season tickets this time who wont next time on the performances so far.Its about time this lot rolled the sleeves up and had a real good dig for the full 80.Mind it dont help playing out of position like has been asked at times.

If you call calling the dross that we've seen at times this year as acceotable then I believe that is the most negative thing that anyone can do.

Standards should be higher than this. We have improved significantly off the pitch in so many areas, brought in new coaching staff and a much improved playing roster (yes - these players are better - it says so on their CV's) and yet we languish at the bottom and say it's acceptable - and that anyone who says otherwise has an agenda or is just plain negative - no we're not - we're just more demanding!

Love this club, but boy that is being tested to extremes right now!

Reality check time guys.

We are above London and Widnes
We are 2 points off Cas and Salford (with a game in hand - yes I know it's against Leeds but it is still there)
Attack has not been good enough (we are 2nd worst in the league for points scored)
Defence although it has been shaky at times still measures up fairly well (we have conceded less than the 4 teams around us anmed above and only 6 more than Hull KR)

When we get Lauititi back I hope we will see some improvement - I think we've missed him in attack recently (although would still rather see him come off the bench than start)
Southern has been a bit of a strange situation with plenty of rumours around as to why he has been out. I'd like to see him come back in at his natural position and see what he can do.

I would like to see some of the youngsters given a chance but they need to be brought in one or two at a time. Slater looks a really good prospect defensively (much like his dad) but I've not seen much from an attacking point of view. Lillycrop has shown up well at prop when I've seen him but it's a big step up for him. Annakin can be devastating at times but always seems to spend a lot of time on the periphery of games and not get massively involved apart from the odd burst.
Wildie at least got a chance last week.

We are competing in the bottom 3rd group and that is realistically about all we could expect from this season IMO. We need a minor miracle to make the top 8 but we still have a very good chance of finishing 3 or 4 places above where we were last season which would be a clear improvement.
