Is it simply an age thing?

Our forwards are all under 30 and seem to be able to just keep going

Do you think having players like Galea, O'Meley, Ellis, Lynch actually hampers you?

Yup.
Not great when Ogre has been our best go forward option and even he knows his body is packing up and he's nearly shot.

Not when you have Watts, Houghton and Westerman.

It's about size, not age. We have plenty of younger forwards but no big ones.

Judging by last night Richard Agar

One thing I can't quite understand is, we haven't been a good attacking team since 2004 which is what 9 years ago when Shaun McRae was in charge. During that era we was arguably one of the top 3 attacking teams in the country. From that era we only have Yeaman and Horne left. Now we have a coach who came from arguably one of the best attacking teams in the world, West Tigers. We have brilliant offensive players such as McDonnell, Briscoe, Crooks, Lineham, Holdsworth, Ellis, Westerman, Heremaia and Houghton. Yet we haven't improved at all, our attack is still slow, crap PTB, can't spread the ball with any pace and as soon as Tickle is back in the team we end up applying the boring old drop off.
We're clearing panicking due to lack of ideas.

Currently have the 3rd worst in attack, only Salford and London have a worse attack than us. Shocking.

this size thing, i posted this earlier,but i like repeating myself lol, lynch watts westerman,ellis ,green,are all over 6 foot and big guys, throw in orge tickle and we have the size there, we are just not running our weight up front atm

d kirmond last night for wakey the perfect example,not as big as our pack but boy he looked it when he took the ball up and ran hard,

Its the hair and beard combo

His length of the field pursuit of Crooks deserved a round of applause from us all yet he got s in the south stand jeering when he got injured doing so. Great player with a great attitude.

Just wondering how much input Shaun McRae has as Director of Rugby??

Does Gentle tell him what positions need strengthening and then McRae fills the position or does PG say who he wants and SMc just does the business?

Does he have any input as to what happens on the field?

I fear the spectre of behind the scenes disharmony. Something seems to have slipped with the teams morale, and the backslapping of earlier in the season has disappeared. McRae vs Gentle. Don't know. Something is going wrong though, and Gentle needs to address it methinks.

Sack 'em both.
Karl Harrisons your man.
