who do you think we will get has a coach to me and most other fans, it looks like the writing is on the wall for sandy he has got to go if he does who will we get

Might still be too early for Anthony Seibs to be considered,not quite sure how long his contract is with Melbourne Storm,will do a great job when he eventually gets it IMO.

I think Rovers will give him another year,he has had a squad all season missing what you would call "Regular First Team Squad Members" and no team could live with that take Hull FC, St Helens to name but 2. I know referees dont miss tackles ,pass bad balls, make bad plays, but in my humble opinion they are killing the game not only yesterday but for the past few years the standard of refereeing has being going down hill,they are not consistant,take forward passes they pick one now and again but the majority are missed,and especially by the "referees assistants" now they are a waste of space. a good percentage of head high tackles are not head high they come off the ball carrying arm. It is not an attack to the head,only time this should come in to referenmce is when the initial contact is to the head IE St Helens Meli hit on Craig Hall .
I am not making excuses for Sandy I do think he is treading on thin ice but we have a small squad, a lot of them inexperienced young kids. I would give him another season

Totally agree with this. If there were two refs, one would be closer to the ball carrier and the ruck which would virtually eradicate this.

Regarding Sandercock, if we do replace him, results will get even worse than what they are now.

For all his achievements, we got rid of Morgan a year too late and had Sandercock got here a year earlier, I think we wouldn't have such a chronically inexperienced depth of squad.

And if we end up with McNamara, then we really will be in deep .

Referee's aren't killing the game. Give it a rest!

Why in rugby league is everything doomsday?! Something is always killing the game or it's dying!

Most fans don't know the rules. That's why they think the ref is to blame for everything!

I think Karl Harrison would do a great job for Rovers.

On CS's record this year, I don't think 6 wins and 8 defeats (with a cup win against sl opposition) is [ithat[/i bad with the resources available to him and the remit given him. However, where Morgan's victories seemed to be more memorable, CS's teams have had an unfortunate habit of losing in ways that are hard to forget. If we lose at home against Wakefield, it does start to drift towards desultory though. Given the pretty downbeat background he is working against, I suppose it is natural people start looking for change - including CS himself, with all the uncertainty.

Who'd come in? Depends entirely on the new owners and their level of ambition.

If Karl Harrison was ever to become coach at Rovers then God help us.

I do not think he will get the boot until your future is decided the last thing you need when trying to sell the club is a team with no coach and lets face it who is available?

Also meant to say you cannot get a new coach in that the new owners might not want so your definately stuck until new owners are found.

It's still a penalty.

Most fans may not know all the rules of the game, but most of us know that gripping a player around the face and pulling his head back in the tackle is called a grapple tackle and when it goes on regularly without being punished for one side and then immediately gets punished for the other, we have a right to question

a) their competency
b) their impartiality

Same goes with offsides, I would love for a ref to explain why two players in front of him are first one in the tackle (offside) almost every play the ball, but the other side get pulled up for an offside to the left of him, when the play goes the opposite way and there is clearly no way that play could be affected.

I refer to a & b above.

You are allowed to question his competency and his impartiality even if the game is refereed perfectly. That doesn't mean you should!

Too many fans watch the game with rose-tinted specs on. If anyone thinks a professional referee in this day and age (with all the media coverage) is biased then they really need to question why they bother trying to get enjoyment out of the sport.

Referees make mistakes. As do players. But I'd say the VAST majority of "wrong decisions" perceived by fans is down to either a lack of understanding of the rules or complete ignorance of the offences their own team are getting away with and sole focus on the opposition's indiscretions.

Referee's don't pull everything, and too right! It'd be too stop start. I'd rather watch a good flowing game with as few penalties as possible than a pedantic whistle-blower. Trouble is, whilst most fans would agree with a good flowing game, they still want the opposition pulled for everything!

He could help out with the North Stand too.
