But you said we could finish as low as 10th. You said we'd be in a dog fight. You said Watts' very good form from 2015 wouldn't last and you said Taylor had "chucked" his international chances. That's pretty hopeless predicting. Not the same thing as criticising a coach.
Well let's put things in context for you....I'll do it slowly so you understand.
When Taylor left Wigan.....He did 'Chuck' his international chances. He'd had a good season at Wigan and won a title. He was being touted for international honours and......hit the buffet and ended up at Salford......somewhat affecting his international chances at that time....
Watts went well last year. Maybe Westerman leaving and having kids helped but we'll see he could upset the apple cart yet. He thinks he's Wally Lewis and that may rub some people up the wrong way eventually.
You could have finished 10th. You never had one long term significant injury....a miracle in the modern game. Lose Ellis, Sneyd, Houghton, Shaul, Fanua etc for long periods together and you might have finished 10th.
You were in a dog fight like every club in the competition.
Criticising a coach...ok. This involves some ability to predict that what the coach is trying to implement maybe successful in the long term......you failed.....miserably.
I stick by what I've said about Kelly. Could have a major impact short term...long term a turd.
