Thought you were the one with all the ideas'

The only idea that I have, is to just get rid of the dead wood at the club and by that I mean Basil the brush and half of our players.

I would take the gamble and blood some of the youngsters into the side.

I have a mate who plays for Queeny and he says the coaching set-up is crap.

Dave Halley used to coach them too

While I think he has often made himself look a bit silly in the press I think all in all Hood has done well in terms of the off-field operations of the club, and I don't exactly see a queue of people waiting to replace him.

However, he does risk the good work that has been done financially, and in putting a focus on youth development that slipped away under Chris Caisley's "rule", if he doesn't do something to address the utter tripe being served up on the pitch, which is the ultimate product, and ultimate advertisement for the club.

We need to average 10,000 every home game to break even.

We have still to play

SALFORD
HARLEQUINS
CATALANS
CELTIC

Even if we won are next ten games, we wouldn't get 10k for these games.

Sorry but I don't agree the team is not as bad as the results suggest. A stronger minded coach IMO would be able to get far more out of the players than McNamara.

Maybe you have got a point., but IMO the likes of Worrincy, Sheriffe, even Deacs and Jeffries are not top 4 calibre.

And Platt (possibly Sykes) didn't get a mention there?
