JC Ferres hasn't been a key player for us since he arrived so putting him being woeful down to "being out of form" is wide of the mark.
With Moon irrespective of his past Seasons this year he hasn't performed at all.
Galloway has been "gone" over a year completely irrellevant to keep mentioning him.
Mullally has had plenty of time to cement a spot & has failed to take it & just like Ferres another pointless signing.
Other teams adapt to injuries & at the very least show some semblence of gameplan & shape.
Finally the application fitness & in some cases attitude stink.

Also that 17 should be performing better & once again we see injured players (Walker Parcell & Peteru) kept on longer than they should that falls at the Coaches door no?

That WCC is nice to win , but it always seems to affect the British team that competes in it .I was really apprehensive this year especially flying over there and lo and behold we picked up injuries to boot

That has absolutely nothing what so ever to do with it. Get tired of hearing that poor excuse trotted out regularly.

Wigan and Hull went to Aus, how are their seasons going? Both had lots of injuries, but so have all teams. Did you see how injury hit Hull are? Does anyone really think we would have beat Hull KR tonight?

I disagree with Tad above on McDermot, he is a problem. However, bigger still for me is the outdated obviously stale conditioning this club has had for last three years. We are not fast, we are not mobile, we are not agile, and the players have looked more unfit each year. Conditioning needs freshening up regularly, and ours has been in place far too long.

Everything seems so stale at the club. Unfit players, poor forwards ,a pig-headed coach . We need a massive clear out and some decent recruitment.

don't get me wrong I think the time is fast coming for a change of coach.
I just think the person who deals with recruitment and resigning players should not be exempt from criticism.
write the league off, play some kids and let's see where we go. we won't go down. concentrate on the cup

Same mate those close losses/blown leads seem to have sent us spiralling down as we've got worse week after week.

Leeds still have every chance of making the top four.

We always seem to lose against cas and end up there or there abouts. However a kids team playing at half time showed more shape and desire than us. I don't mind if the shapes there and a ball goes to ground /defense gets up quickly etc but it was embarrassing how little shape we had. Everyone in the middle for the entire set.
