how many more excuses kear was gone for less

He's at least trying to mitigate, I reckon. All teams have problems with injuries and losing players during the game (see Leeds at the KC), but it's what you do about it that matters. Saints have been without both of their first choice half backs for most/all of the season, and yet they're still winning games.



He will. We're going to train the house down this week.

Without knowing what he was asked or the context of his quotes I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion. Particularly when he states right at the top that we deserved to lose and contrasts it with other games where we lost but he thought we deserved to win.

Other sides deal better with injuries because they have more squad depth and better coaches. Simples.

I just hope the next person to "get what they deserve" is Agar.

OOTB is needed!

I see you point, but it's not like the club doesn't have a history of making excuses for our underachievement. If you take this one case in isolation, I maybe don't have any right to jump to that conclusion, but as part of a longer pattern, you can see why I might get to thinking that way.



Now I would have respected him if he'd said that!

I posted this on another thread, but Potter's comments following the Bull's thrashing at Salford make an interesting contrast...




Similar reasons for failure but a much more personal acceptance of responsibility. The key point being that if the players are constantly making the same mistakes it's the coach's job to fix it.

Instead we get garbage like:

""We was just not at the races, I have to take responsibility for that, I told the lads to leave everything on the island and they didn't. some poor pass selections cost us and we needs to raise us bar, not a lot went for us and I think the referee was a little one sided, it's going well in training 'appen"

(you can construct the excuse for the next defeat from that)

Maybe Bradford have a CEO/BOD who [ido[/i believe that a coach is important?

if he's referring to the Catalans match that's garbage !

the Menzies try may be debatable but that's down to Ian Smith not Mr Silverwood who had a good game

You missed my point, it's a made up quote in Agar style, ready for copy and paste at our next defeat.

sorry mate
