If you actually look back to last year, other than our win against Celtic, we actually started worse conceding far more points and looking just as bad in attack. All these people saying about how our performances are the worst they've seen obviously have short memories as we were far worse in games such as Harlequins at home and Castleford away early last year.
Saying that though, I think we've come as far as we can under McRae (which isn't very far at all) and personally I think the time has come for him to move on. Obviously there's difficulties in people being available and getting out of his contract though.
Fair comment Adam BUT firstly we are half way through the Franchise and secondly havent won a match for 14 games. Looking from the outside we really should be 66/1 to get a Franchise next time around unless the Stadium is nearly finished.
We are just not entertaining even the most `optimistic` fan yet we have a set of backs who possibly could come good by the summertime yet our forwards are in the line all the time and then Stuart also manages to negate any threat when he is involved.
A total change of style is needed otherwise I see gates dropping quite substantially as lets be honest we are boring!

I do agree with you there EB. Although we didn't win after beating Saints last season we showed improvement towards the end of the season that led me to believe that we would carry it over into this season but we've seemingly regressed.
At some points when attacking last night I thought we were watching a half time game between some of the kids. When we were on their line in the first half and ended up back at the 40 after just throwing the ball aimlessly without looking to see if anyone was there. Also, when Ratchford made that break, no one decided to run with him. Some of the players seemed shocked that he was actually passing the ball and someone almost knocked on (can't remember who) because they weren't expecting a pass.
It's pretty obvious from the play on the field that we're a badly coached side.
Correct me if I`m wrong,but didnt SM come on a 3 and a half year deal. Which means he`s up at the end of this season.Ok, we cant afford to pay him off,so why not just promote him upstairs somewhere that he can do no coaching and then promote Alan Hunt up to first team coach for the remainder of this season.That would cost us nothing as he is already on the payroll.Lets face it , he can`t do any worse!!

Firstly, can a moderator please change the title of this link. We should all be better than this.
The personal insults are pathetic and say far more about the contributors than the coach !
After our start to the season we need a change of coaching staff.I see no reason why Malcom Alker should be excluded from the criticism. SM is a working man who has a contract.He will not walk away from that and who would??
We actually have some decent players and should be doing better.

Can we actually afford it though? To pay off their contracts.

He looks like one, very fat and small no neck and moves like a slug. He also had no ideas. Anyway people i must say coaching and playing is to much for Alker, hes to slow at the POTB now and he has no ideas either we always play it to the right hand side and the wingers and half backs always run in the ball instead of the props i mean WTF? We need to try things different and experiment but i doubt we will, get Ratchford and J.Smith together, it worked last season when Myler wasn't playing.
