Surely it is the coaches job to sort out the so called off field issues, as it is any managers job to deal with underperforming staff.

Dropping everyone who narks him off occasionally sorts out nothing.

Under performing staff is the responsibility of their manager. Sort them out or get sacked.

Under performing staff is the responsibility first and foremost of those staff who are under performing.

If they can't (or won't) be brought up to speed then they need to be shown the door, otherwise everyone else will think "well if they can get away with it, why am I busting a gut..?"

Still, heaven forbid the s on here can withdraw their head from their idols backsides long enough to give them their share of the blame eh?

Does anyone really think there's been a lack of effort on the player's part this season, even in our darkest times?

Nope not at all. I think there has been a huge amount of effort put in (the last 15 mins of the Bradford game are evidence enough of that) I think the effort has been focussed in the wrong areas and at the wrong times. Add in a fairly steady stream of injuries, a natural decline and not great recruitment & the recent rise of Wigan, Huddersfield & Warrington and I think it explains why we are where we are in the table.

Well just seen Lee Smith is featuring in the 9s on Tuesday - so we can only hope/assume that means after his last 2 dreadful performances he's not off to the piedome.

Interesting to see who else is playing in the 9s as it should show us whether it'll be Zak or BJB in for Smith?

Pitts and Mcshane have also been included
