| As already mentioned, the mentality around this club is absolutely disgusting, its widespread and been going on for years. Yesterday shouldnt suprise anyone, coming off a half decent result, the useless puddings suddenly think they're the 82 Aussies.
They think they're better than they are, put their leeds tracksuit on, burn a few belongings, talk some absolute e about personality colour schemes, hang JJB's e metal Rhino on a wall and they think they've made it, just have to turn up against someone like London
Add in 3 god awful coaching hires in a row, influencing these players, recipe for disaster. Yesterday was Smith rugby in a bottle, why work hard and play physical and patient, when theres all these shortcuts you can try, his rebuild has been a total disaster.
Good news, atleast GH/the club seem to have finally woke up, relised the game has passed him by, relised being an ex player with no experience isnt the answer, and got someone with an actual CV and recent expierience of successfully building squads and hiring coaches, in to sort it out. So despite yesterday, im pretty excited for the future, by that i mean the rest of this season once Arther gets here, and next season with Blease getting hold of everything...No 5 year plans, in rugby terms, its an utter myth fed by incompetent people, everyone will say it, but the competent onces will do it in one or two.

| Peter Smith pretty scathing about the squad in todays YEP. Did make me laugh though when he said maybe it wasn't RS fault after all (the current squad's performances this season).... it's a RS legacy, with a squad that has no back bone, poor leadership and is very undersized in the pack, lacks X factor in the 3 quarter line (Croft and Handley apart) and are so volatile in their performances. This is his squad. They just look so so poorly coached.
We've seen a mix of awful coaching over the last 5 or 6 years or so and woeful recruitment by those coaches (inc GH).. which is why we are where we are now.. having said that, all we need is a top coach with 3 or so good acquisitions in the right areas and we can get into that top 3 or 4 again.
