well alker has made a big impact hasn't he?

Just wait for the usual response, "the result hurt our pride but the lads have been training the house down"

We will take some positives from the game is what mcrae will say, instead of what a load of sh*te i saw tonight and there will be changes, if i coached the way they played i would be out of a job

apart from one or two players out there tonight who gave there all, the rest were made to look like amatures on a school playing field, sorry not picking on school rugby, just using it as an example, we all know that you are better than the dross we saw last night

Well unless SMc has a bit of honour and resigns there is surely little that can be done.



Options



a) Move him upstairs to be our Media Manager to avoid a big pay out

b) Trim staff to equalise cost of new coach

c) Look for a coach with IDEAS on how to play OPEN, ATTRACTIVE, ENTERTAINING Rugby League Football.



OK Candidates - Well I will put one hat in the ring.



John Cartwright with Darren Brown as his #2

Now that I'd pay money to see!! I can't see the "changing room" arguing with JC!!

We can't afford a new coach, let alone somone like Cartwright

What he said,

For me it is not just about last night. It is McRae's whole reign. It has been totally uninspiring. We were heading for the drop when he took over but if anything got worse. Ok, the following year we won the National League and the NR Cup but can you say it was memorable(save the Grand Final). Think back we were boring to watch and got out of a few scrapes due to our full time fitness levels. There were many games when the team was booed off and many games where the opposition played much better rugby than us. Last season was hit and miss but was centred primarily around one golden period when Myler and Ratchford were inspirational. The start and end of seasons were a damp squib. Throughout McRae's reign it has been the same- one man rugby, poor kicking game, not moving up in defence. handling errors galore. etc etc. We have heard much pre-season about how the team has trained the house down, spirit is good etc and how there has been much emphasis on core skills. In the first two games there has been little evidence of this and let's be honest we have been beaten in both games quite comfortably with something to spare.

Yes for me he lacks ideas, motivation and is clueless how to play expansive rugby.

We are !!!!!!!!!!!!!

He did say last season the players were not good enough to play the open expansive rugby we the fans want to see, well if we doesn't give them a chance then how does he know.

The lad that I generally go with to home games brought a friend from work to his 3rd game and for a casual observer of rL he hit the nail on the head straight away, he suggest that the players we had looked to have the skill levels but seemed to be lacking in motivation.



I've never witnessed such an innept performance from the first home game, the players seemed to wander aimlessly round the park and Cashmere aside our forwards looked shockingly small.



A little aside i'd be willing to bet that Houldsworth doesnt stay the season as he looked dedjected on Friday and he does appear to have no little talent a bigger club I would reckon will come for him.
