Quote: ComeOnYouUll "He clearly doesn't compare them as players. His point is that some players struggle to adapt to a new country, a new culture. Not really relevant if they are internationals or have minimal NRL experience.'"


Of course it's relevant, if it a quality player comes over and under performs it's a worry and settling in might be a reason.
If a rubbish player comes over and is rubbish it's surely just confirmation that he's rubbish.

Quote: Theeaststander1 "nu brown has left the building folks'"


Strange if he has, as he was one of the better ones - especially when in his correct position. If he has gone then it must be about money.

Quote: ComeOnYouUll "I guess it was inevitable given the state we are in even thiugh it's not all Smith's fault - far from it. I'm surprised at the timing though.

I was really pleased when he was appointed - a vastly experienced head coach with a track record. Just hasn't worked out.

A penny for Gareth Ellis' thoughts today.'"


Ellis could/would have been our interim with Cummins…

Ellis said he didn't enjoy coaching anymore didn't he.

On another note, wonder if Davidson has gone?

The poor man's bonaire:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32641.jpg



Thank god he's gone. I never liked him and never wanted him at my club.

No surprise he's failed. I have noticed where this myth of him being a top coach comes from. His coaching career:

Huddersfield.- got them relegated then used days mo eyes t9 get them promoted again

Leeds - got out thoght by John Kear in the CC final, won a lot less thN the clearly useless Brian mcdermott. My granny could have coached that group to a grand final win

GB/England - failure and much worse than macnamara

Warr8ngton - couldn't win the gF despite all of the money and resources at his disposal

Rovers - nearly got them relegated in his first season

Us - makes radford look like a coaching genius

We've been abysmal for most of his tenure. It looks like the players only see each other on match days.

With a limited playing group we need to be super fit and defensively sound. We're neither and he has rightly paid the price
