What a good idea you could do with a decent tent on Craven Street if it rains.

We're not content with being gallant also rans like Rover's supporters are!

The back row of the north stand.?

Smith is realistically the most experienced coach we can attract, for the reasons you have stated an NRL coach isnt going to quit and head over for the 'challenge' and Daryll Powell aside SL actually has quite an inexperienced coaching lineup right now and we've had our fill of hiring assistants. Even Wayne Bennett would struggle with our set of slow, weak minded players and theres no spare cap space to any wheeling and dealing.

Give Tony time, and lets see what the response is like over the next few weeks.

After having slept on that; It’s like the players have been told they’re all playing for a contract in 2024 and most of them have decided they’re off and can toss it off for a season. Beggars belief that these are professional athletes.

But if thats the case then the big flaw in their logic is what other teams are watching that are watching that and thinking 'must sign them up'??

Maybe it’s like Wire last season and half of them have already agreed terms with York.

I’m sure knowing that makes you feel a bit better after your humiliation

Plastic Shangri-La.

To be honest walking home yesterday I thought they looked like a group that have been told who and who won’t be here next year and the ones that won’t be have chucked the towel in.

As has been said as good as Taylor and Houghton have been for us sadly they are done at SL, Houghton doesn’t look interested and Taylor after having missed a game instead of looking fresh looked anything but.
Evans not a lot to say really as just don’t see what he offers at all and his minutes per game is shockingly low.
Lane a million miles away from the player that showed so much promise a few years ago and a defensive liability out played by Griffin in 2nd says it all.
Lovodua started with a bang last season but done nothing else of note and don’t really see where he fits in to be honest. Doesn’t excel in a particular position and is in all honesty nothing more than average.
Scott whilst he’s improved just isn’t a frontline starting SL centre.
McIntosh another who although he wasn’t the worst yesterday just has too many errors and brain farts in him.
Griffin at centre was pretty poor and didn’t compare anywhere near his performances at 2nd which I thought he’d been pretty good.

As good as Tony Smith is and with his proven track record even he can’t polish the turd within the squad.
Pity he didn’t tell them not to bother changing and have them straight out on west park working on their defence and tackling.

The problem we don’t have enough replacements to drop the number of players that just didn’t perform yesterday.
