Demote Cummins back to assistant and bring Noble in for Head Coach.

I didn't go today so can't comment but after Salford and Leeds -the way I see it- the players need to forget about results and score lines and only care about completion rates, handling errors and missed tackles before worrying about anything else. All three stats are woeful at the moment. There is absolutely no way on earth they'll compete with anyone without getting the basics right. Things like players offloading the ball in their own twenty. Was it Leeds where they scored off the back of Kear an Purtell trying to keep the ball alive on a kick return off our own line? Fakir takes the ball in returning a goal line drop out. More iterested in running over the top of the first defender drops the ball onthe first tackle. He should have been thinking about one thing and one thing only - hanging into the ball- given he's looked totally out of shape and had only played about five minutes a half up until that point.

Some of the stuff they played in the cup game should have had alarm bells ringing. Looking back it was obvious that that style of play wouldn't win games against full timers.

It's almost as if they are panicking all the time and don't have any confidence in the game plan.

Diskin has been around the block he should be screaming at them to make sure they stay with it and just run out their sets first and foremost. Gale too if es vice captain he needs to start thinking about what he does with his kick options. The number of times he should have booted it into touch against Salford to stall the game. That game was in hindsight there for the taking but we were so far off the par in terms of decision making and defence.

Wouldn't argue with that to be honest.

I feel sorry for Cummins. Leeds and Wigan in 4 days with that squad is impossible.

It's easy to look at his decisions but where are the signings? What do Green and Ferres expect to happen sending an academy side to Wigan?

I'm not sure FC is the right man. There's big questions over the 7 shirt and, why the props look so light and defensive line speed.

But where's the support for the bloke?

Re: The coach thread : Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:13 am  

There was more fight when we were in admin. Perhaps the emotions of all that have finally caught up with the squad?

John Kear, Matty Elliott, Brian Noble all seem a much better bet than Cummins, who has quite obviously nothing more to offer.
I would like Elliott back as first choice, with possibly Lowes and Morrison as his assistants.
Get Scruton back from Wakey as he's getting bagged by their fans every week, and would probably jump at it to come back now we are more stable.
Look at a good aussie stand off or scrum half (preferably in the Trent Barrett mould), to steer us around, Give gale a run at Dewsbury (if they will have him).
Otherwise we are resigned to Championship next season.
I really can't see any other option.

Alright bud? Long time....

One comment, Kear, Noble and Elliot are all unemployed/not in top jobs (SL or NRL), and baring Elliot they have limited experience over the last few years in a top job....

No one touches Noble - why?
Why has Kear languisghed at Batley for a few years?
Elliot - Resigned before being booted!

Why haven't Kear/noble been snapped up by other SL clubs?? Same with Mr Karl Harrison..... too expensive? doubtful

I would hope that, now easter is over with, we can at the very least use up all of our loan places in the squad.
We're allowed 5, we currently only have 1.
Get on the blower to Hudds and try and get Mullally back, see if Leeds will loan us Bailey (needs must) and maybe even Clarkson too. Then I'd give Wane a call and see if he has anyone going spare. Burke may be over his dislocated shoulder now, or if not him someone else!

We won't be making any permanent signings I don't think, quite simply because there isn't anyone available.
As far as I'm aware we still can't sign any overseas players because of the new company/visa issues.
The only chance of any permanent signings would be championship/lower grade players.

[quote="bfdbull1979"]If he doesnt get rid of Franny, i really hope he brings in some kind of additionl coaching staff, defence is non existent at the minute...i reckon Wibsey warriors would have beaten the team today,[/quote]

Lets sign the Wibsey coach then

Ronnie Kray once said "Never let the Boss call all the tunes , it will end in tears ", he may be right .
