If Furner can't coach defence then we need someone who can. Needn't be his replacement but we've been weak as p1ss in that department from day 1 and it constantly costs us metres and constantly costs us tries. Needs players to put their shoulders in as opposed to grabbing and it needs others to hit low and halt the leg drives. Basics, in other words. Course, you need players with the stomach for hard work for it to work rather than plain, ordinary stomachs.

Agreed.

For the record i want to state i am not part of the Furner out brigade. If in the event this thread reaches 500 pages





In all seriousness the squad in the main is poop. We know it is poop. Furner now knows too that it is poop. The guy deserves a chance to turn it around and its far too early to be moving the deck chairs. We are probably going to be bottom 4 but we won't go down; give him a chance to bring in the players he wants and off load the garbage get a good pre season and then judge from next season.



It was never going to be a quick fix to get us up there again and chopping the coach after every 6 months is not the solution.

This is a reasoned solution.

Lowes is the lowest common denominator. Its no co-incidence.



Get him out and get Toovey in as assistant for the rest of the season.

I think those words will come back and bite you big time!

The chance of relegation is very high. I wouldn't be so confident. We looked like a relegation team last night

Shaun Wane to coach the defence!?

Ive been told this morning that Furner is not popular at all with the players and the coaching staff. This was from a current member of the coaching team. The person who told me this knows the coaching team member very very well.

If we don't win any more games this month and he'll be gone, coaches are the easiest people to get rid of, the playing roster isn't going to change this year so Furner will take the bullet, I'm not a fan of sacking coaches so early but it will happen if we don't pick up some wins soon.

Furner might not be popular with some players but so what? Their rubbish got McDermott fired as well.

Apparently Brian Mac wasn't popular either... We were told to expect a response from the players when he left, but it didn't happen.



The players need to be professional and get on with their jobs. The coach won't be popular if he's having to highlight their deficiencies in defence week-in, week-out. Furner is not missing the tackles out on the field.
