After listening to that I really hope any stay away fans will have a change of heart this coming weekend.

Brilliant interview and only confirms what we the supporters already knew…..some players were not up for it.

I would ask why now, why did he not have the same discussion with the players after the Warrington game or Catalan game. I get the impression that his intervention was more to do with Him being annoyed at the players for putting him into a position where he needed to let the coach go.

I agree the players have some responsibility but so does the coach, he picks the team, tells them his game plan and manages their ego's where necessary.

That's the impression I got from the interview.

I agree Scarlet. He's just playing to the crowd. Should have said something to the players and resolved it before he felt the need to talk about it in public.

Reading the various threads it would appear that the interview did what it intended to do and that is to divert the criticism from Webster. You should if you think it necessary have such discussions in private because in the long run it could harm the club more by forcing a wedge between all the players and the club.

I ask the question if you were a player how would you think if you heard the coach saying that he is only interested in the middle eight play offs and it would not be a surprise if Leigh won. They now hear our chairman criticising them in public, we need them because i doubt anyone else would want to join us so what we have will need to be the ones that help us stay in Super League. If any take up his offer which sounds good to the supporters what chance do we have of surviving.

If any take up his offer they will have "outed" themselves and would be damaged goods

No that is not how it works, how many players have we gambled on because it was thought no club would touch them. I guess we have given their agents free reign to obtain new clubs knowing all they need to do is go in see Carter say they want out and he will release them.

A good sound bite to appease supporters but could prove problematical in the long run.

for gods sake stop over analysing everything. its an honest interview take it for what it is and be glad the guy is honest

It may be honest but i question the motive behind it and the timing for the reasons I have stated earlier.

He didn't say he would just release them he said he would sort it with them.so try selling them and spend the money on someone who does want to play for wakey.how do people still pick negatives out of that interview.

Have to say he should have fired into those players a few weeks ago how many of us fans could see that some players were not putting effort in heavens above you see Washbrook and McShane giving it all they have and others not.

The squads capable of so much more , and should for what ever reason be performing well above the level they have. M C has only repeated what many fans thought anyway and I for one am pleased he did.

Its now over to them lets hope they take on board the comments made.
