So far after 6/7 games fans of Catalans, Hull, Warrington (got there wish), Salford (my team), Bradford and Wigan have all been calling for the sacking of their head coaches. Now i defend RL as a more sensible sport than football with its culture of sackings, but im starting to wonder. In a season when relegation is not happening it appears we have all gone slightly mental. I wonder why almost half of clubs fans are so unhappy. At Salford we certainly have a coach under fire, though winning today may help Bombers cause.
Just an observation of mine but its very odd :?

Simple really , Sport is competition , for every winner there is a loser , we all expect our team to win at least half of their matches , but that is not possible

But we keep being told it is now a business where all can be a success , it is all a product that you buy into

We keep being told that it is all about producing junior players and because of no relegation we can be happy finishing bottom

But it will never work

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Some teams have started slowly this year, Catalans for example with only 1 victory in the league against a Warrington team who were in meltdown. After a 3rd placed finish in the table last year, fans would have expected the team to kick on this year and so it looks like Kevin Walters has taken them backwards.

Equally, McNamara has inherited his position from a successful coach in Noble. If we're to be fair though, the seeds of decline were sown by Noble's recruitment policy over the years and now McNamara can't really pick up the pieces, and doesn't have the experience as a coach to make do with what he has. You can see why Bradford fans want a coach with more experience. After a lot of success in the SL era, you'd hate to see your side on 3 points however early it may be in the season.

Fans hate to see clubs go BACKWARDS. Wigan aren't the dominant force they once were, Warrington have high expectations they never achieve, and Catalans and Bradford are capable of so much more. Salford were always going to struggle but I can understand that fans want an inspirational coach who can get the team to play as greater than the sum of its parts.

I think a few things we need to account for are a lack of quality coaches in the sport. Who would replace these struggling coaches? Also, I think we need to appreciate that at this point in time there wasn't a big enough pool of SL standard PLAYERS to support 14 teams in the league. I don't think we've seen an increase in the quality of the competition in terms of skill and thrilling matches, but we're seeing a levelling out of the teams so that everyone can compete on the day (this owes a lot to the salary cap).

As a whole I think we need to accept that with the franchise system coming into play, some steps back will have to be taken, but from there we'll have a base from which to build and this will ultimately strengthen the competition. It might just take a few years for this to show. For the moment, I hope clubs will stick by the coaches a little more as stability will be important.

He's a disgrace. An absolute disgrace. What happens if other clubs fail to counter-act his controversial tactics? We'll end up with Huddersfield Giants in the top four and pulling in five figure crowds.

Bloody scandalous.

If Rovers were bottom three right now most Rovers fans wouldn't want rid of Morgan.

It's the same old clubs moaning about the coach. The only clubs I think should be looking to replace are Hull and Salford. Hull have a straight replacement in Jon Sharp who has far more experience than Agar in the position of head coach and Mcrae has never quite cut it anywhere else but Saints.

I'M SURE THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FACT THAT THE FRONT RUNNERS FOR THE 2009 MEDIA WHINGING AWARD ARE FROM GATESHEAD AND HULL FC, FORMERLY THE B*ST*RD-TWINS OF ONE OF RUGBY LEAGUE'S LOUSIER IDEAS.

Noble, McNamara, McRae, Walters and who ever is officially in charge at Warrington should be sacked.
