That was going to be my point , In addition to being involved the Exiles, his priorities seem to be elsewhere.

| Quote: Legends and Icons "Watching wigan,leeds and giants n wire(now) its clear that we lack pace , a kicking play maker ie brough, briers,sinfield n finch
A stand off and a loose forward that can unlock a defence, a hooker that is quick and knows were the try line is , time will tell with heremia but all though houghtons work rate is tremendous I dont rate him in an attacking capacity . We are lacking big time in the full back area for obvious reasons
So in short were way behind the big teams in pace , pivots and a player maker'"
That and the fact we have no props at the moment, our backs are playing behind a beaten pack every week.

To be fair to him I've heard he has a problem whereby once he pops he can't apparently stop

| Injuries and too much uncertainty with players futures IMO. And the fact we got rid of the best coach of all time, Mr Agar!

| I still think that the speculation about whether or not McRae is needed is pointless, as it's one of the subjects that we fans are most ill-informed about. There are far too many ifs to know whether or not McRae still suits the club, such as whether or not Gentle likes the current structure so that he doesn't have to get bogged down in contract negotiations, or whether Pearson wants enough of a hands on role to make McRae obsolete.
Either way, I don't think McRae is the key influence on our on-field problems, or at least not the way he's gone about it. I think there could be something in the theory that those who are leaving have let their performances slide, but as I have said previously on this board, that's just further evidence that losing them is in our best interests IMO.

Maybe so,but at least he is articulate doing it,not like some I could mention.
I really can`t understand why some people have a down on Bomber,everyone to their own.

| I think a lot of this comes down to fans expectations. At the beginning of the season we all seemed to accept it is going to be a year of fact finding and change, top 8 we'd be happy with.
Then we start really well, go top briefly and are always around the top 4. Expectations raised significantly.
We are now back to the level where realistically we should be but it's hard for us sometimes to accept this. Injuries havent helped because I'm sure the likes of Turner would have been on his way weeks ago if we had any cover. If we'd been running around 7/8th all season there wouldn't be the same doom and gloom.
I have seen improvements in our pack this year, we have physically been able to cope with the likes of Leeds for example, which under Agar we couldnt. The lack of class and ultimate difference is in the pivots, still not enough ball handlers and leadership. Again, Leeds away as a perfect example. Salford away ditto. Put Sinfield and Holdsworth in our side, not theirs and we win. Probably next week v rovers (Dobson) same again. This is the big challenge facing AP and PG - they gotta get this right. Personally i'm not convinced Chase is the man for us.

Well said,given the choice I would sooner have Brough back.

Don't you realise? If we get Chase it will be down Pearson's investment and vision, and Gentle's eye for players (incidentally, was Gentle at Wests when Chase was?). McRae is entirely responsible for the sh*t ones, and for those alone.
