Sadly we haven’t kicked on from that , so understandably it’s a frustrating time for fans. We have no god given right to be in the top four every season ,but along with saints and Wigan we are one of the biggest clubs in super league . Look at the attendance for the Salford game, not many clubs could produce that at the tail end of winter .


I get the frustration but honestly, two games into the season with half a new team? In crap conditions. And we've won one of the games.

Fair comment.

I dont think its the loss as much as seeing the same / similar issues as last year.
It feels familiar and that's frustrating.

In the big picture that game might not mean nothing, it will take time for the team to gel and we are super light ( not helped with poor balance in the pack), bad pitch etc.

Still, I'd have liked to see more structure,better kicking and to look like a team with a plan or one that can adjust to the conditions/ challenge of the game at the time.

Early days yet.

Exactly, it is early days in this season.
And the 2 results we've had are irrelevant tbh.

But it's the performances that are still disappointing.
I don't see a plan, a structure, any cohesion or any identity.
Other teams just look better coached and organised than us.
RS has a lot of work to do on the coaching front.

If we finish outside the top 6, the excuse of "well, he's had to do a lot of rebuilding in the background" is just not acceptable.
Nonsense.
He's been backed and been allowed to bring in the players he wanted.
Time to deliver results now.

I don’t think you understand what the word facetious means. Watch the interview again, see what he says, listen to how he says it, and you will see he’s not being facetious. Obviously Christopher has superpowers that can see directly into people’s minds but even he’s malfunctioned on this one.
Come back to me when you’ve watched the full interview again, you will see the context in which it is said , and you will see it’s the same body language, facial expressions and intonation throughout the interview. At no point in the whole interview is he being facetious.

If we finish outside the top six I think he should go aswell, and I say that as a fan of his.

I still think the ‘no structure’ thing is being overplayed a bit, it’s this years ‘passive defence’ from the fans ;-)

You are slso ‘mind reading’ with your interpretation.

The context of thr conversation was Jenna Brookes asking RS how Lisone played so well when only been cleared the Monday before, it wasn’t RS saying he doesn’t think players don’t need to train as you are trying yo make out.

Just face it Christopher, Leeds Owl knows exactly the context it was said in and no one else possibly can.Maybe? he has exceptional insight into Rohans thought process.

Where did I say that ? I was referring to the phrase over rated, I never intimated Rohan Smith thinks players shouldn’t train at all. There’s a difference.

If Jenna Brookes had said to Rohan Smith last night, “That was a tough night for the young lad Edghill going in at short notice” and R.S replied “we gave him 30 minutes notice at least”, that is facetious. If he replied “he’s been with us since he was 10 years old, around the first team for a couple of years, he didn’t take much prepping”, that is not facetious.
Facetious definition; treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humour.
Tell me what part of his post match Salford interview was facetious.
