This is one of the reasons I'd prefer a coach from australia
With have used a contact in the NRL, unfortunately is was Mark O Meley.

You'd like to think so but I think that will actually come in the next few days when we learn what the on report incident was. Last thing we need right now is a player copping a ban for a derogatory slur of some kind (although whoever it is will deserve everything they get if they are guilty).
We were well beaten by a part time team today. And well done London because they deserved that. They looked so much better organised than we did, had a game plan, played as a team, and simply wanted it more. You would genuinely think that it was us that are the part time team. And we might as well be. I'm not even sure they even deserve to be called the word "team" right now. All those improvements we had been seeing since Grix took over, all those slight changes we'd seen in attitude, defence etc... the stuff suggesting we were maybe, just maybe, turning a corner... well, none of it was on show today. That was as bad as anything we were serving up under Tony Smith. Maybe even worse.
If Grix had any hope of getting the job permanantly, he needed a win today. Feels like the players threw him under the bus a bit as they are prone to do. And until we get to the bottom of why they constantly do this, they'll continue to do this. Big job on Myler's hands to turn this around. It certainly won't happen overnight. No wonder he was talking about a seven year plan the other day!
seriously does anyone actually think Myler can turn this around given the signings he has made for next season.He wouldnt even be here was it not for the pot of money he brings with him Asiata was a great start which he should have built on but instead has brought in old experience on the basis that in two years we will have our own younger players to replace them which is a huge mistake given how many younger players from the academy actually make regular S/L players. people will say give the guy a chance but from what i have seen already and the now reported interest in bringing Abdul and Satae back the club is now a joke

Been in the job less than a month and you've already written it off. That's a new record for you

Has recruitment finished?
Has a coach been appointed?
Let's wait until everything is in place before we start to fully critise Myler, he has been in the job 4 weeks.
But like you do with so many players etc, you decided straight away you didn't like him and was never going to give him a chance.
