I was really pleased when he was appointed - a vastly experienced head coach with a track record. Just hasn't worked out.
A penny for Gareth Ellis' thoughts today.
Ellis could/would have been our interim with Cummins…

Thank god he's gone. I never liked him and never wanted him at my club.
No surprise he's failed. I have noticed where this myth of him being a top coach comes from. His coaching career:
Huddersfield.- got them relegated then used days mo eyes t9 get them promoted again
Leeds - got out thoght by John Kear in the CC final, won a lot less thN the clearly useless Brian mcdermott. My granny could have coached that group to a grand final win
GB/England - failure and much worse than macnamara
Warr8ngton - couldn't win the gF despite all of the money and resources at his disposal
Rovers - nearly got them relegated in his first season
Us - makes radford look like a coaching genius
We've been abysmal for most of his tenure. It looks like the players only see each other on match days.
With a limited playing group we need to be super fit and defensively sound. We're neither and he has rightly paid the price
