As Dan Tomlinson said. It would be criminal if some players stayed whilst another coach went. Why shouldn't Ellis kop some is he not the defense coach?. Do we just keep changing the coach and keep the players? We have a habit of just sacking the coach and the underperforming players stay. Last night Taylor Lane where awful. Lovudo doest look the player he was. Brown has dropped off. Connor sulked. Wynne needs to be told to keep his gob shut. He was at it all night. The 3 loanees will leave out as they must thing what have joined he. Evans had a real go. Soa lost it but at least the effort there. Houghton tried. Vuni not a centre. Gale started well and even though he dropped of he ajctually imo gave it a good shot. Onto Hodgson I have stuck up for him. But I would like him now to start dropping the worst culprits and ship them out. I still blame Griffin.

Surely it's Hodgson's job as head coach to get the best out of his appointed coaching staff and rather than dropping all under performing players (of which most are) isnt it time he got a tune out of them. If he's that good a coach then it shouldn't be a problem.

For me the time has come for the core group of players to be cleared out. Houghton, Taylor, Griffin along with Johnstone and Gale. I’d put a question mark on some others such as Lane, Carlos even Connor (if it’s true he’s messaged Radford about where he’s playing etc) and a warning to Wynne about his attitude and petulance.
I think Hodgsons time is also up as he just doesn’t seem to have the personality to get tough with the players, tell them how it is in blunt language or have any real ideas as he just looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Purtill is another that should also be shown the door.
We need a uncompromising coach who isn’t interested in who you are or what you’ve done in the past but just in what you do in the present and how you perform and doesn’t pull their punches. One who demands pride, effort, commitment from his players at all times and won’t accept anything less than their best regardless and without excuse.

Some players out there should not wear the shirt again after last night so called 2nd half display and I say display as I can’t even say it was effort.

On the money.

Real lack of accountability and bravery at the club.
Watched Lane make zero attempt to stop Olpherts breaking through and Houghton cantering back instead of chasing him down.

Watched Taylor hiding from taking carries in
And make no attempt to tackle their prop when he went through

The little 1%ers arnt there from some players as well as a huge lack of intensity from the same players, and its the ones born in this city, their professionalism and pride in the shirt has evaporated, they just don't care.

Question is if we can see it clear as day, why isn't Hodgson addressing it?

Matty Laidlow can you imagine him copying Taylor lack of effort? No neither can I, so play him.

Lost count of Houghton crap distribution too, yes he scored a try well done quick thinking but time to go

What has happened to Jordan Lane? A year ago he was talked about as a future captain but now you don’t know he’s there. Does very little and shirks his defensive work

Wish we would stop playing players out of position. Lovodua is not a second rower and Johnstone, well I don’t know what he is but it isn’t wherever he was playing last night?

Our defence was all over the place the whole match. Not just the second half. It was like 13 strangers thrown together on a pitch with no communication allowed.

What the hell do they do in training?

It's roughly the same point of the season as last season the wheels fell off . Its looking more likely we could out do that one .

Re: CASTLEFORD next up : Sat Jul 23, 2022 1:05 pm  

Seven scoreless halves in seven games and another two with just a single try is terrible.

A lot of fans on here won't agree with me but if Shaun Wane wants it I would have him the job in a heartbeat. A proven winner who demands respect.

I don't like to say it because he seems like a decent bloke but Hodgson is not good enough to be a head coach. Keeping him or replacing him with another unproven assistant will make no difference. Hodgson is only part of the problem. The next coach to be appointed could make or break us for years.

The money that has been earmarked for new signings should be used to get the best proven coach available even if it means spending under the cap.

It's been the same old rubbish for the last 5 years. I accept defeat especially if it's mitigated due to a stack of injuries but not yet another capitulation. There's a load of players that need to be let go who are contracted next year but there's no way we can afford to pay them all off. It's the same in football if the team is doing crap you cannot get rid of all the players at once so the manager gets the bullet. Sometimes unfairly.

The crowd last night was made up of the hardcore fans desperately trying to get behind the team. If changes are not made now even those will walk away. Times are hard for a lot of people and are going to get worse.

I've got a lot of respect for Pearson as we all should have for what he's done for us but he's made mistakes like any owner in business has. He's no fool and can see we have made no improvement since Radford was sacked so he need to make the change now.

COYH I'm always impressed with your stats no matter how shocking they are!!

Re: CASTLEFORD next up : Sat Jul 23, 2022 2:11 pm  

We’ve conceded nearly as many points in our last four games than Saints have all season
