that's not what I'm saying........

Championship rugby in front of a few hundred fans in empty stadiums with nothing to play for (promotion wise) where a bizarre form of communism has made everyone equal through the daftest salary cap you could think of together with the impending loss of TV exposure and revenue isn't exciting - sorry.

Bulls at the Shay, nearly beating Cas away in front of big passionate crowds is exciting.
Wembley 87 (and 8icon_cool.gif was more exciting than Blackpool
Super League is more exciting than part time Championship

Nobby is a better coach than Matt

Facts

We came a Dave Larder fingertip away from reaching the Grand Final in 2005 under Faz after a great run of form in the latter part of the season yet people still moaned as we were playing 'boring' rugby.

We just need a coach who can shore up our somewhat dodgy defence whilst keeping our exciting brand of attacking rugby. I thought we were onto a winner with Nobby on board to mentor Matt et al on this. I admire teams like Batley who play the simple stuff very effectively and win games by them (that's how they beat us) Would I want to see a Karl Harrison type team every week? I'm not so sure.

are we certain it is a Matt / Nobby issue why he has Ieft? just a thought

According to todays courier, Nobby has not been at the Shay since last Sunday?

Fax's statement includes

"The Club's now excited to work hard for the remainder of the 2011 season, and its planning for 2012"

Planning for 2012? does this mean they know the answer?

3 day's John and we can plan for next season regardless of the outcome.

A Grand Final appearance this season, while possible, is a massively long shot, maybe time to look ahead rather than wait until late september to start planning
