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.

what to play in the pack

Lol only Crooks and Lineham can be talked of as 'brilliant offensive' as form stands and its Crooks who has been carrying the team. I think your taking the p**s with the other players you have mentioned!

Fully agree. As good as Ferres but not getting the love-in IMO.

Tbf I shouldn't have used 'brilliant'. Good was more apt.

Have to say that Gentle was spot on with his comments after last night . The effort and commitment were there but it was the execution that was lacking. There were far too may miss timed runs which resulted in obstructions/lost balls. Miller does look like a good prospect if given time. There will always be individual errors in a game like Shannon's , Fox scored 2 tries but was at fault when he knocked on before Crook's second. Gentle is doing ok but needs a bit more help from your experienced players.
