You can have all the tactics you want, but if your players aren't performing the basics properly and you don't quite have the players to perform, then tactics are irrelavant.

You can polish it up however you like.
The players we currently have can not play to those tactics that are asked of them. We dont have other options for players, therefore we have a problem.

No, the players have not adapted to the tactics asked of them yet. There is a difference. It is too soon to say whether they can play to the tactics yet. The problem lies in the fact that thje pre season for the full squad amounted to 15 days meaning they are still picking up on the tactics as the season is in progress.

The mindset of some of our supporters is astounding at times.
You dont think 11 games in, and a 3rd of the league season gone, is enough time to tell you something is not working?
If there had been a glimmer of something working in that time I could understand. But the performances have been e, pure and simple.

Were you saying all this before the St Helens cup game?

| Pre 2003 this would be an ordinary season.
Think we're expecting too much now!

How many of those games has Burrow missed? You'd think he'd be a pretty big part of what they club are trying to do so thats not going to help.
There have been glimmers but we've not managed to put it together for a full game yet. People are over-reacting because of the 2 defeats over Easter.
Forgive me for putting my faith in the players and staff who have done it before rather than listening to the doom mongers on here.

| Quote ="tvoc"And nothing wrong with expressing it. My only issue here is these problems have been evident long before the St Helens cup game you keep going back to. For me it's an issue with the strength of the squad assembled for this season and has been all along. The coach hasn't been given all the tools he requires to do the job. Some of the tools he has been given are breaking down and could do with a week in the repair shop but he hasn't been given enough back up's of the required standard so he's opting to keep the blunt ones in his bag.'"
Agree re. squad and this season's performances which so far have been a good first half against Wigan, perhaps a good first half against Celtic if we're being generous and a few fits and starts elsewhere. I do think they've taken a turn for the worse in the last few games though and, most worryingly, failings don't seem to be being addressed. I think there's been real shortcomings in performances and tactics, discipline, errors, kicking and as these are not being addressed I suggest that's a shortcoming in training/coaching. Separate from that is the shortcomings in the squad such as no cover for props and arguably too many inexperienced players in the top squad.
