Wrong decision. Rubbish. Complete let down.

Re: Let down... : Tue May 10, 2011 4:43 pm  
Nothing I've seen from Betts in either his time at Wigan or Widnes has given me confidence in his abilities as a coach.

His poor and at times weak decision making, his demeanour in the stands, his handling of the media as well as his inability to battle back against adversity point to this being at best a huge gamble from Widnes.

I will always remember his last interview at Wigan after a defeat against Huddersfield as possibly the most embarrassing one I've seen from a Wigan coach. Shoulders slumped and acting like a 5 year old child, the interview pretty much went along the lines of 'We're crap, I don't know what to do, so we're screwed.'

You needed a strong and experienced leader at a time of great transition for your club. Noble would have been perfect. Betts is probably the exact opposite of that.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Not when you're Leigh there isn't.

Honestly, you pitying us like this is like a tramp giggling because a rich man just sent back his champagne for being too tepid.

You tell yourself we're worse off if it makes you feel better.

I've got to be careful how many of your posts I respond to lest you ridiculously accuse me of "stalking" you again.

So you pick on the ' funny ' , rather than the serious positive Chris , why is that ?
