I look forward to Rooster Booster's defence of coaches this week, perhaps this isn't part of their remit.

It's not forthcoming.

Eh? I have no issue with your stats or posts and quite enjoy reading many of them Looking forward to the Wigan game (and a possible record SL defeat to us) & promise never, ever to post an attendance figure again

If Powell is going at the end of the season, then the club should announce it now. Reading the comments on facebook and here, it would seem that a fair few of the 900 or so ST holders are not going to renew..........

I think you may be correct and it is a good chance that there will be a few who have been long standing supporters. For the first time that I have known a few that I know attend left early on Saturday and this was a first.

The highlights of the match for me were:
1. The two tries we scored
2. Shouting at players
3. Drinking beer

It is not "having a pop" GF it is just telling you that we know the club is in a total mess as we all keep saying ourseves, but we don't need constant lectures about it, that is all! you go on and on, many of us have been with the club from the start and we know what has gone on and Yes we are sick and fed up!

Crowd banter was good, rest was a bit of a shocker

I enjoyed the kids playing before the game and at half-time, if only coz it shows how some people can enjoy the game. We seem doomed to watch this pitiful excuse of a side indefinitely, if DH told us we were getting rid of RP at least we could see a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Communication between the club and fans has hot an all time low.

We actually looked a well-coached side for a good proportion of Saturday's game - in control of field position and able to build pressure. Some good individual performances and the Gower-Bailey combo looked good. But there ends the good news.

To my mind, it was the selection/use of players that was the major problem. 3 centres used - Lovell, JOC and Channing; 2 of those probably won't ever make it at centre, the third is a decent prospect but needs easing into an established playing structure. Like someone else said, the use of JOC at left centre made no sense when Howell was available. (Just on JOC - he has been appalling and he looks shorn of any belief. He could still be a good winger/FB but he needed taking out of first grade at least 12 games ago).

So, no surprises that we eventually get battered via the centre/3rd man in channels.

Re. forwards. I don't understand why Channing came on at right centre and Lovell got moved to left second-row when Gower left the pitch. Surely - surely - the sensible move would have been Bolger on and not Channing. Don't think Bolger got any game time. And I don't understand the (under-)use of Krasniqi. The kid comes on and makes a line break with his first carry and then hits the ball up a couple more times; about 8 minutes on and then off, not to reappear. He looked devastated when hauled off. The kid is a coach's dream. Runs hard, PTB quickly, mobile, aggressive defender. If I could be arsed, I'd pull up his stats and compare them with Bryant and Wheeldon - he makes more metres per carry and is a better defender than both. I don't get it.

EDIT: Haha. Just realised Bolger was 18th man. Still Bolger on the bench before Channing would have made more sense.
