Should Sandercock leave, I'd prefer someone of experience to come in. I feel sandy has always had ?s over him due to his lack of front line experience. However, the thought of having James Webster at the helm sounds good but I see his next move as head coach to be in the championship. A good, realistic fit for us would be someone like McLennan or Simmons. Both have experience either side of the world and produce well drilled outfits, particularly McLennan.

Take Agar please.

Lose one of the next 2 games and I couldn’t care less who deserves what, we’d become realistic bets for the drop and that can’t be allowed to carry on out of misplaced sentiment

I know what your saying Stan but this is his team it takes time to gel this amount of new players I'd give him at least half this season

You are clearly a more patient man than me. No amount of "gel" will fix some of the fundamental basics that we have wrong in the team. I last saw us win a game on August 16th 2013, my patience is wafer thin. For those not fortunate/stupid enough to have travelled to Headlingley that night, it's the start of July since Craven Park witnessed a home win.

These type of statistics drive customers away and they find other things to do with their spare time. Most on here are institutionalized so we put up with the mediocre but the target audience, the ones with customer number 6001-8500 are not as daft as us. They want to be "entertained", whatever that means, I gave up on that a long time ago.

I'm still hoping that things come good for Sandercock. Not least for the selfish reason that we start winning ASAP. And I honestly don't think it is an entirely forlorn hope - yet.

Obvious choice, IMO: Chester. If he can put his knowledge of SL together with the best elements of Morgan and Sandercock, then he'd do well, I reckon.
Leftfield - Paul Deacon. He's been around winning cultures for much of his career. He'd command plenty of instant respect. I saw him give an interview one time and he was clearly bright and thoughtful. Harris will be closer to the Wigan job, and Wane might well do a few more years, so I'd think we'd be a decent option for someone like him.

But, y'know what? let's please just beat Bradford and Wakefield and so on, and it's one less thing to stress.

Bloody hell, I thought I'd accidentally accessed the Man Utd web site, talk about trying to undermine a bloke in his job.

Mark Aston anybody?

He is paid on results. Not on what you think he deserves.

With the greatest of respect he is undermining himself.

Long been saying he'd do ok. Kept getting shot down.

It is going to take this team time to gel after all we did lose the player that carried us for five years I think in the end we will be ok

I agree, but time isn't a limitless commodity. I believe/hope that it'll turn. But unless and until it does the screw keeps turning. Alongside the somewhat disappointing results during this very, very tough run of fixtures there's been some quite deeply concerning issues. When it comes together, it might all click beautifully.

To this point though, the new pack looks more heavy than powerful, our edge defence is still erratic and there's not massive potency in the halfs. Plus the tendency to start each half of a match slowly, and have spells where we concede tries in batches has gone on too long to be considered a blip.

Win a couple and it'll look rosier, but performances and results have to improve. 'We're confident and are working really hard to fix things up', is reaching the end of its shelf-life.

Are you saying Rovers are tools?
