I think its time we had a coach who can devote himself to the club and not have any outside interests, last nights performance was dire , no passion or ideas to break the line. watching wigans last game even when winning at half time wane shouted the dressing room down because he demanded more, we need someone of his calibre to boost morale..... I used to take bottles back to get money to go to boulevard as a kid.. i'm afraid they would stay in the pantry right now......
You've only to listen to Radford's radio interviews or watch his press conferences to understand what his pre-match and half time team talks must be like.
The coaching is crap ,defense is ok gang tackles one on one needs working on. Never understood why Pearson gave him LR the job as he was defensive coach and we let in the 70 plus. The whole team looks jaded though its end of season already,mentally exhausted [loose ball comes out and they just watch it instead of racing on to it] Need a new coach bad and play some of the youngsters to add a bit of enthusiasm to the team.
What now? We ask PG what the real truth is behind everything, who needs weeding out aside from the obvious, despite all his so called no names that certain posters were insisting they were on a ridiculous sum (without any actual scrap of evidence) he somehow managed to get us to 6th in his very first season with next to naught in terms of infrastructure and again the next season plus wembley that was despite losing our only decent half to a head injury for much of the season ( I bet you wish we had a half that could kick like that) and an untested 22 year old at the back end trying to find his feet.
All this talk of McRae handing out (overpaid) contracts like confetti doesn't hold much water when you have a situation were we are now still at full cap and performing like we are, if that was the case then I'd take McRae anyday

I've posted before about how disappointing the second McRae spell with the club was. My main issue was not the salaries that the players were signed on, how do you have a squad similar in number to other teams with a salary cap in place and apparently pay everyone you sign ridiculous money. It doesn't add up, some of the contacts may have been inflated for the experience and quality of the player but not on the scale a lot of people believe.
My real issue was that a lot of the players signed were under the management of the same agent. The same agent acting for McRae and Gentle. For that McRae should be ashamed of his actions.
Just stop buying into the product , its simple as that. Whilst everyone still goes nothing will ever change. This whole club needs a big reality check and part of me wants us to go down just so we can turn around and say I told you so.
No doubt people will still go and give the IAKOW bullcrap,I have seen worst times but I have never had the mickey ripped out of me so much by this club as I have now.
We have coaches who would love to coach this club yet we time after time employ the same old crap. Brian Smith would come back after one phone call, for the so called forum coaches he would be a decent appointment and his style is not dated. He is a proper coach who more often then not overcomes th obstacles in front of him. In all honesty any local junior coach would be an improvement, having watched us train its so amatuerish where does our money even go ?
Was anybody surprised by that performance? 5 sets on their line with an attack that is led by Super Leagues most overrated number 9 and the worst back line at the club since we had Moon et al and we didn't look like scoring.....was anybody surprised. The whole club is a joke and is in denial. Adam....you are the master of false promises. Lee....just leave
I was going to the Cas CC game but after listening to the rugby mater doesn't want to go now. I'm kind of in two minds, I want to go because I don't want to feel just because some turd is ruining my club that that should be enough to put me off from going when I can't get to that many games anyway (the £50-£60 cost per match is irrelevant) but offering my 'support' to the club at a time when a mutiny is being called for because of how dire the situation is doesn't sit well with me either.
I've always come to watch us, good or bad, win or lose. I know it sounds like a IAKOW, it isn't, I'm usually the first to pipe up and say we're carp (& vehemently so!) but the club is in my blood as it all of us and to not go because of how things are and because of the shiate we're playing sometimes feels as if you're being forced to act in a certain way and that doesn't feel right to me either, I can't really explain why.
Even if fans don't turn up do you think that will really change the outcome of what Pearson does when he's shown to be either ignorant of his mistakes or just so immature & lame as a human being he can't stick his hand up and say he just got it plain wrong (the third reason rumour that he is somehow working for Allam and it's a deliberate long term ploy to get us out is ridicuous)
