| I believe from what I've heard in interview if Agar goes then Collis is able too aswell, it was the one where you had to click on a link to listen by the club.

Why o why couldn't we read that. Mathers never dropped back deep all game and allowed them to get away with it.'"
We are probably the thickest team I have seen in 38 years of watching RL and Mathers is clueless. We never read a game or the opposition tactics. We make the same errors over and over again. We cannot play the same side next year. I won't be there if we do cos I can't stand another season of this. Side needs a shake up and a new coach. We can't just sit there for another year; this is going nowhere

| Quote: Khlav Kalash "It was pretty poor, but nothing we haven't seen all season. Clueless on the last tackle, stupid play, losing plenty of yards after the first contact in the tackle, a wasted spot on the bench. Trinity even struggled to break the line when Saints where down to 12.
Amor drserved his MOM though.'"
The Clueless on the last tackle comes down to Tim Smith I would have to say. His last tackle kicks and other plays are awful and often have been all the time he's been with us, no matter how much he gets bigged up. How many times has he run it and we get caught on the 6th? How many crap kicks, kicks that end with a length of field try fo the opposition? All part of the dismal thickness that runs though the team

| Nothing will change until the coach goes I'm afraid. For me it all comes down to his decisions, we have the players to be a top 8 team but he doesn't use them. For instance in the first half of today's match Tautai started getting fired up running hard and showing a bit of talent in what was possibly the worst 40 mins of rugby I've ever seen. Agar subbed him. Now I'm sorry and all I'm for spelling players to get the best out of them, but when there's only a handful of players on the pitch looking dangerous you do not take one of them off!

Do you think Agar tells them to knock on, pass forward, kick out on the full etc? It's those silly mistakes that have cost us points in recent games, take away those errors and we would be higher up the table!

| Agar should have brought young Goulding on at half time as we were creating nothing.Tim Smith is all about doing the creative plays himself and thats no good he needs someone to help him out if not the opposition mark him out of the game and we do nothing.I was willing to give Agar a chance and hes had 2 seasons and his substitutions baffle me at times.Why bring a player in when you are lacking in one area and leave him on the bench apart from the last 10 - 15 mins.

He's too busy coming up with master strokes like playing washbrook in the halves - still it only took 2 games before he worked out that was dumb - or consistently playing vera lyne in the team while shipping out people like mariano to fev.Said it before and I will say it again any half decent coach with the squad we have currently got would have been in the 8 by now. Total disaster to give a failing coach like him a 3 year deal - unbelievable.

Any coach with a brain will come no where near this club.
Who the hell in their right mind would take our threadbare squad on into the dog fight of next season ?
You may get the odd chancer without a job or someone with very little experience but you will not attract a top coach.

| Is our squad really that good??
At the start of the season i like most, thought we would finish somewhere between 8th & 12th.
8th, much like last year if we could keep a settled side and get lucky with injuries. If not, one of the places below.
Yes we should be better than Salford and probably London, but our squad on paper (taking the rose tinted specs off) is pretty much at a similar level to Cas, Widnes, Bradford & Hull KR.
How many of our players would get taken by the sides near the top of the league to be anything other than a squad player? Kirmond definitely Amor, Aiton & Collis maybe.
I think with the budget he has had, Agar has done an ok job in his first 2 years. Im not his biggest fan and i didnt want him at the start (Daryl Powell was my choice), but he hasnt been that bad.
Yes, 1st half yesterday wasnt good, just like Bradford the other week, but over the full season, Im really not sure what people expect??
For people to claim they are not going again, not renewing season tickets etc etc is just plain daft.
Those who watched in the 60's may feel different but ive been going since the early 80's and for me we are where we have always been, a mid to lower end of the table team at best. We have the odd good year and the odd bad, this is certainly nowhere near the worst of the bad!!

| I've watched since the fifties and it certainly is not the worst season in that time .
I agree that to 'abandon ship' now will not do the club any good at all.
Yes we are all frustrated but we are not that far off being a decent side.
Cannot believe , by the way, how people are still over critical of Lynne after that try demonstrated his potential.
The try was pure class.
I think that as he was brought in by Agar and to some people played ahead of home grown he will never get credit even if he goes on to play for England.
Some people are so blinkered and biased its not true.
Kay seems to have pace as well, so all not doom n gloom.

It was a good try, in fact it could be said it was a classic wingers try. Which is what happens when you play a natural winger on the wing rather than at centre. Who is it that has been picking him out of position all season?

Lynne took the chance well. To be fair though as it happened in front of me Cockayne needs credit too, he created the half gap space for Reece to run through. For a 70 yarder it was well taken and finished by showing his pace and determination. If Cockayne hadn't done what he did then it would not have happened. I'm not knocking Lynne, just portraying it as I saw it.
