The Momster will come good. It was a shame Lumb got injured so soon as it seemed they had the makings of a decent combination. I like Roberts but he doesn't seem to be a natural winger.

A decent combination , they played one game together against a crap team

This got embarrassing a year ago.

Anyone other than the bottom 3 sides we see playing us as a guaranteed 2 points.

We are just awful and going backwards.
Doubt We will remove Smith before season end but that’s another year completely wasted.

Leeds look a really well drilled outfit where every player knows their role.

I wish it was true but they don’t have a clue what they are doing, the coaching is a disgrace.

Saints next week looks like it could be a bad one.

In pre season most agreed he should only be judged after 10-12 games, iirc I thought that was fair given the big squad changes.

Saints will be game 12.

This year feels like last year,so far. The same issues / problems in the same areas on the field. It's a big list,I won't bother writing it as we all know them ( though reasons why differ fir various posters).

Saints is a huge ask, honestly I'd be happy with a good performance even if we lost but I cant even see that.

John Wilkin really grinds my gears, but everything he said in last nights game broadcast was in the money and he summed up everything thats wrong with the team.

Same.

Other week RS had me agreeing with a Bradford fan, this week it's Wilkin.
That's horrible

Clearly poor recollection on my part, maybe because of the Great Britain tour.

My point still stands that even the top coaches do not guarantee success.

Nothing guarantees success, having a decent coach increases the chances of success.

Having a poor coach dramatically reduces your chances.

I know this is revolutionary stuff.

Agreed, and let’s not pretend there’s not an element of luck involved. RS had a similar pedigree to Woolf and Holbrook, who came over and were brilliant. Wire took a huge gamble in appointing Sam Burgess who doesn’t have a fraction of RS’s coaching experience.

I’m not saying Wire will win the comp, but I know who I’d rather have in charge right now.

RS was always a hugely risky move. Time for GH to come out and admit this punt has worked out and move on asap. I still think a decent coach could get a lot out of this squad.
