I would hope that TACKLING around the legs.

Kicking 40 -20's

Kicking a LONG DISTANCE for penalties

Not MESSING about at play the balls, rolling away, not holding the ball etc so you get penalised

Timing a pass and drawing a man were being done REGULARLY during the training times until the next match.

Otherwise .........................

Wood, trees.

I bet you could make a well known saying utilising those two words but...........................

I can see the wood for the trees actually it's just that I try to support my team in there endeavours rather than critisize there efforts week in week out, by your remarks towards practising as you put it you are in fact questioning barrys ability to coach,what have you achieved?

We are top of the league with 70 nill stuffings of all teams.

We are in the quarter finals of the northern rail cup

We are going on to win the challange cup.

There is absloutely NOTHING wrong at Cougar Park.

The sun shines all the time, the birds sing and happy children cheer in continous delight.

The ground is full to the rafters.

Sponsors and developers are fighting each other in lumps for a peice of the action and the rest of the RFL is looking at us with envy.

Enough "reality" for you?

There is of course the "truth" but thats not as nice is it.

Nowhere have I criticised the coaches ability. How you work that out is beyond me but hey it's your brain.

All I suggest is things that could make the team better.

If the coach or whoever chooses to ignore my views or not even read them then fine, I'm not the coach. I've done my time with that, and refereeing and playing and being involved in the administration of the game.

Now I just stand and watch , but if you HONESTLY believe that we can't do better then fine, you just have lower expectations than me.

This team is one of the best for a long time and with PRACTICE can do better.

Of course there is the alternative.

Is that REALLY what you want?

by saying that we need to tackle round legs and practice 40 -20 etc etc although you haven't said it directly you ARE suggesting these drills are not being utilized in training enough to suggest Barry isn't coaching them correctly or that's how it reads anyway I'm bored of your persistant nocking of the cougars and we will see weather or not your masterclass in coaching bears fruit when we play Blackpool, if we win I will be the first to congratulate you on your wisdom I'm sure the players will too.

Quotes and dates please.

Please be EXACT because although I mention and observe things I don't think I actually knock the Cougars at all.

I would suggest that it is down to interpretation, however I am prepared to be corrected

I can see both points here,we do make silly mistakes and i agree we could improve on our kicking game but we have a good coach and with more consistencey a good side, i'm sure you both want the same for the club.
