Who's to blame? : Sun Jun 07, 2009 8:16 pm  

Who's to blame for our current situation? From a team who for seasons where the best outside of SL (apart from the parachute FT teams) to a team who are now clearly out of their depth. How can we fall apart while everyone around us are strengthening? Apart from Widnes our fan base has been over twice the size of our competitors, we have a very good lottery and a decent amount of cash from LISA yet the likes of Fev, Batley, Sheffield and even Batley are now as good if not better than us on the pitch. Fax today only had 2100 (400 from Leigh?) so they surely have a similar budget to ours. Who has assembled this squad and who has chosen the coaching staff over the last few seasons? Our star signing has still done nothing, why sign Durbin, why Nanyn, Marsh, Stewart, Maden, Smith, Hobson - need I go on.
We may have one or two good youngsters but they ain't suddenly gonna develop speed or ball handling skills.

A sad day today - for me, we are now back to where we were pre Millward days, that is - out of our depth.

We're bad, but not that bad. We're out of our depth when competing with arguably one of the best sides to grace this division in the past decade, granted, but that's what reassessing expectations is all about. We can still give virtually every other side in the league a good game, and that certainly wasn't the case on many occasions pre-Millward.

recruitment is too blame. The first thing that got me was re-signing Hobson and Watson. HOwever fair play to Watson he has proved me wrong. Better recruitment needed for next season. Lets start early!

Your not alone, particularly against Halifax this year, they've basically embarrassed almost everyone they've played.

Halifax were as good today as I've seen them for a long while when the passes stuck. Stick with your team, a couple of years re-building is better than a quick fix.
