| Quote Hillbilly_Red="Hillbilly_Red"As I asked last season (and the season we went down) could someone please tell me why the forwards aim at the biggest group of defenders when attacking and not for gaps?
Don't tell me it is to tire the defenders (substitution ruins that plan)
nor
tell me that the "ruck" is so disorganised we can cause a break (I've counted that result on one hand all last season).
Simple question.'"
Totally agree HR.
Pointless and v boring.
OK we have a small pack so why dont we have a coach who can instil players to run wide into gaps a la Reg Houldsworth last night - line deeper - so they are running on the ball. Our tactic should be to run the opposition forwards breathless rather than constant barging.
Its the Australian way though isnt it? Tedious fayre.

Agreed - this season, amazingly we have some pace in the backs so why oh why were we playing up the middle being outmuscled instead of swinging it wide?

because the SLUG's gameplan was based on how the Welsh team played against Leeds which was up the middle leaving gaps on the outside and the SLUG did not spot this.

| Quote Fatboys Limb="Fatboys Limb"I don't suppose you had the balls to tell them what a ridiculous comment it was, and how they should be embarrassed about it did you?
Nah, didn't think so ...'"
As it happens... the conversation stemmed from me asking why we were so poor. Why they seemed so lazy and uninterested. What there excuses were.... that was the excuse they gave me. I didn't tell them it was a ridiculous comment... but I did ask them what they were going to do about it and said how it wasn't really fair on the fans, and why on earth they expected us to turn up week in week out.
I certainly feel that it's worth the fans knowing what was said and what to expect... and perhaps why we look so poor.

| Quote Adamjk="Adamjk"So we're back in the same situation as we were before Karl Harrison got sacked?
I really don't get this whole attitude of players not wanting to play for the coach. Surely you play for the love of the game,because it's your job and because it matters to you how you're perceived as a player? It's what they're paid to do after all, for god's sake.'"
I put this on the Pie Eaters forum, they were saying the same about Ian Millward when he was there. If a player or group of players do not perform on the field because they have a problem with the current coach then they should be fined and have their pay docked. They do not play for the coach neither do they get paid by them and as "professional rugby league players" their sole intention should be to win every game for the club that employs them. When they pull on the Salford City Reds shirt on they must put any off field problems behind them or face the wrath of the board. We cannot let player power creep into this sport.

| Agreed players should give 100% regardless of the tool in charge, but you can see why they become this way inclned. Was speaking to a supposed relative of a now departed player who ranted at me fr 15 mins about how the slug will sit filling his fat face with food while watching the players swim length after length in the pool etc, and that no-one has any respect for him. Also looks like he's coachign ability out of players, just playing boring rugby.
Who should we get in? Dont think it matters, anyone with a bit of passion whos more interested in the club than they are in fluffing scouse eddie would be an imporoement.
