| I notice one or 2 people have a go at Calland, and they're getting shot down. But let's face it ....
He seems to be unable to handle a crisis. We lost 2 bad matches leading up to this so should have been at least up for it against a very average Haven side, who looked 'nackered after 30 minutes. Yet we conceded FIFTY points at HOME in our own back yard at a crucial part of the season. Now that's bad, that's VERY bad. Thanks Matt for bringing an exciting team together. But when the chips are down, you're out of the kitchen.
Now the players .....
Penky and Black, being 2 of the most senior and so called "diamonds" of the team should have stood up and be counted today. But they were worse than appalling. Penky cannot pass, so why does Calland keep picking him at half back? And why can't he pick the ball up from the play the ball ... how many times? 3? 4?
And I know People will squawk like mad when I say this. But I have always thought it. Worrincy is total "rubbish" (and rubbish is a polite word). He nearly failed to score when my 2 year old niece would have touched down under the sticks. He dances around and never runs forward. And when he admittedly caught the ball in goal but was adjudged not to, he still pist about and instead of getting his shoulder down and forcing his way out, he was caught in goal.
My final view is ...
I know Calland is young and done a decent job, but he's not good enough. Pay him off and get a proven coach.
Get rid of Black and Penky. On their day, very good off the cuff exciting players, but when the going gets tough at play off time, they can't hack it.
Get rid of Worrincy, Patterson, Goddard and Royston. Not good enough for a top of the league team.
Sorry if I've upset anyone with my views, just the way I see it.

I would also like to see who you would choose instead of these players? OK! you have a point about the chips being down but just slagging the coach and players off wont solve the problem. At the begining of the season we would have settled for a top four finish but some of our fans are now thinking we are better than we actually are. We have to be realistic within the constraints of a buget. So please tell me your players?

you have got rid of half the team- if you have gone that far you might as well get rid of them all and sign some of the fans up to play the rest of the season.
i dont understand some of our fans- dont know if anyone has noticed we are joint tp of the league- we were always going to have a bad speel we were never going to go all season unbeaten, i think our early season form gave some people the idea we were invinsible we are not teams can beat us, the early form has got the fans to excited and now they think we should be invisible.
i agree with the worrincey comment he has done nothing and runs sideways.
We cant get rid of Goddard he is one of the best centres in the league he just never gets the chance to get the ball because we have so many creative players up the middles of the pitch we never get it out wide to much we started to towards the end of the game and goddard did well with a few things when he got the ball
the next point i will make is, people always say teams are offside on the opposition fair enough that may be true on occastions but i noticed something today we dont use the forwards neraly enough on our own line or anywhere on the pitch really. the amount of times Haley and Worrincey picked up from dummy half and ran it 5 metres from our line instead of passing it to the forwards which we should have been doing then we might make more yards up the pitch.
Patterson has become one of the best goal kickers in the team and again we have so many good players up the centre of the pitch we never get it wide that often.
i think we need to give Bowman his chance, we need to get a good winger to replace worrincey he has done nothing to be fair he comes in feild to get the ball and runs sideways.
i never thought we should have got rid of lee greenwood he scored tries for fun in the last season has good pace and knows how to finish.
rant over.

I don't like slagging players or staff of. But it's the players and staff who keep telling us fans just how good they are in the media. Anyone in the know must cringe at the things that are written or said in the press. After all. All they have to do is perform to the best of their ability and shut the doubters up. Now that can't be too hard, or can it??

I've never left, TS, as well you know
The rest of you, as for getting rid of half the team, don't make me laugh. 50 ...... FIFTY points at home!!!!!!!! Give me a break. Should be all the team. But the buck stops with Calland. He has to go, Faz out? Calland out. Nice bloke, started well, but he's going the same way as many other young not good enough coaches. Remember TA? Sweet dreams.
