Try and develop our style more, I feel now we have some real threats out wide, but we persist on playing the forwards game, I'm fed up with us driving the ball in on the 4th tackle near the positions line.
Play our strongest team until we know we can't make the 4, once it's gone, more game time to young players, but start them rather than bringing them all on together.
I think we will finish 5th this year and when you look at injuries that's probably about right.
If possible I'll do all we can to bring in another top forward, but with no non fed places and SC issues I don't see this happening.

Over reactions across the board !
Mathematically we're not out of the hunt for top four so each week we play the strongest possible 17 until the maths say different. We've won back to back cups and had a fatigue affected play off campaign last year. Injury problems this year have taken their toll. I don't think replacing the coaches will help in the long run, we enter another period of transition and upset ? Not for me thanks.

I've said for the last few years that we'd benefit from having someone like Cooke come in to give us an attacking flare as that's where we struggle IMO.

Agreed (although I wouldn't want Crooke) SL is boring because it's primarily coached by forwards, Sky encouraged terms like "the wrestle" "the collision" and that is where it has gone. As much as I hated them at the time, where are the Gregory's, Edwards, Hanley in the SL. There is simply little craft left in SL, McGuire, Burrow, going back even further,Kemble, Millward

attack seems to be almost coached out of players
I'd have Cooke in a heartbeat. I've seen first hand what he did at Doncaster RU attacking wise and I couldn't give 2 stuffs about the way he left Hull because his book has proved that he was shafted big time by us.

Mild Rovver ? Lol Top of the League for losing but not getting beat - I still laugh at that I tell my Aussie mates and they just look at me perplexed - “ is there a top of the league for not getting beat ?” They ask. Lol

As a matter of interest, why would you not want Cooke?
If its anything to do with 2007, then you need to get your head out of the sand.

Everyones got a right to an opinion, but a statement like that perhaps needs a little more substance to back it up.
I have never met Paul Cooke, so I cannot pass judgement on him. I do not he was a tremendous RL player and with limited resourses has made a difference at the clubs he has coached at.
