Against My Better Judgement : Tue Jul 22, 2014 9:43 pm  

After deleting Back Chat from my Sky Plus,I have just sat and watched tonight's show. Last week I thought Rod Studd was the biggest prick on Sky Sports,I now believe he is the biggest prick on all the channels,and I've got all the movies as well.

Also we have Stevo saying a lot of Bulls fans have walked away because they sacked Cummins??? Hands up anybody has stopped going because Franny is no longer there.Also commenting that they are right because Lowes hasn't won a game yet,Catalan,Saints,Giants,Warrington.Maybe they think we should of got at least 4 points from them games,we are next to bottom for a reason

Finally mocking Dr Koukash for having a go at Nigel Wood.This I find the most unbelievable of all. Somebody who has as much money as the Dr means he is quite powerful,he shouldn't be mocked.I think he is a guy who gets what he wants,eventually.I for one will applaud him when that happens

Don't worry Roger, next season we will be completely and utterly under the radar of these clowns. I can't wait.

I watch back chat but wish Studd would stop twisting everything that the pundits say into something they obviously don't mean. I know he has to play devils advocate but come on!

Disagreed with Peter Smiths (who I respect) comments about sacking Cummins was pointless. It really wasn't, the performances have improved and from the players comments, training is far more intense.

People can lose sympathy with us because we sacked Cummins, but it had to be done!

The Oxy morons on back chat just like kicking a team when they are down, they only like the top 6-8 teams in SL the rest are jut to make up the numbers.

People are quick to denigrate forums such as this but the level of discourse surrounding the slightly more complicated issues involving the administration of the game is light years ahead of the entire RL press, Sky included.

I know people who stopped going years ago who were very upset about it.

Im sorry but how can you be upset about sacking a coach that hasnt got you any results or seemed to have lost the dressing room LOL

He is a top guy is Franny but look what happened when they didnt have the cahones to sack McBanana well before they did,

IMO people that dont go to a game and see what is actually happening in person on the pitch shouldnt comment on things like that,

I have a few mates that read papers or listen on radio and dont go to games, but are first to comment on social media and the like when a bad result occurs - and it right does my t*ts in

Rant over lol

My granny was a smashing person but I wouldn't recommend her as a RL coach, if she was still around.

I don't agree. I mean I do, and that's why I mentioned those people in the first place. Having a passionate opinion about something like that when you've not involved yourself for more than a few years is patently ridiculous.

But I don't agree, because those are people who give enough of a poop to have opinions about it in the first place. They are the latent support. We want them to have opinions. Ideally good ones, but bad is probably better than none at all.

In the T&A site where they are talking about Fakir leaving for lezignon he makes an interesting comment...

Fakir wrote:

"Jimmy Lowes has put more emphasis on defence than Francis Cummins did.

"We were too lax in this area of the game and we have made real progress in recent times. In addition, Lowes has a lot of knowledge after all his years spent as assistant.

This suggests two things to me. 1. Cummins didn't do much work on defence in training despite us having an abysmal defensive record. 2. The use of the word "lax" suggest Jamal's opinion of him may not be that high
