I agree with all that.

I can't see Bradford winning a league game until June. Rather than rushing to buy the first players that become available they are better taking time or risk digging a deeper hole.

Possibly so. But, in the short term, the boss can only work with the tools that he has at his disposal. And it seems to me that he would use a screwdriver to saw a piece of wood and a hammer to screw in some nails.

Or a plumber bailing out water rather than fixing the leak.

Who would you choose?

I would be interested to see if everyone does want Noble back..... I don't, but I'm only one!

Edit - sorry mods - no idea how to combine with the current topic...

We only sent 13 players?

On all the available information I don't see any evidence that there has been any Coaching! No Attack, No Defence and no idea!

I chose Steve McBanana because of his ability to learn from mistakes. We make so many that his head would explode.

Mark Aston

I picked Nobby but would rather see the Assistants replaced or at least strengthened.
I think it's too late anyway but something has to change!

I went for John Kear

Noble wants the job. I reckon an announcement before the end of the week!

"It was, without any doubt, the worst performance I have seen by a Super League side – and one of the worst I have ever seen"....

I think FC is gone.

Is that a guess or do you know something

Hell even if its boring rugby and we stay up i will take then work on next year

It's a myth

Noble does not equal boring rugby. We didn't have many boring games when he was in charge

TBH, Noble has taken over a club in a similar position before and not only kept them up but put in place a squad capable of winning a championship.

If he'd stay, I'd like Cummins to stay on as assistant. I think he's got the makings of a good coach, but I don't think that the club in the state it's currently in is the right move for him to learn the head coach role.

Kear, although he's got the experience of getting clubs at the foot of the table scrapping for victories, I don't think would be the right choice as I really don't seem him as a long term coach.

TBH, I wouldn't mind seeing Noble back with Harrison and Cummins as his assistants.

We also had money back then, what can he do with our lot, who i maintain arnt a bad team we just suck something awful.

He will need to rid the backroom also as they are part of the problem i think, either Noble/Kear/Elliot with Lowes or FC in 2nd, why does Robbie not fancy being a coach i think it would suit him, we could have the Paul brothers running a SL club

Who is that from ?

Nevermind i found it

Have to say that the damning comment is the one about a route (sic) and branch review into what went wrong and delivered such an inept performance. I'd be gobsmacked if FC is still there by the end of the week

I voted for Kear for 3 reasons
1. We need more bodies to compete, given they are unlikely to come from Super League clubs or overseas quickly enough, they are likely to come the championship and Kear has good knowledge of the players in that league
2. He has experience of battling against a very tight budget and producing competitive committed sides.
3. He is a motivator, players perform for him. My neighbor is club doctor for Batley, and a typical 50 year old. He says after hearing a Kear oratory before a game, he would go out and perform for the team!

61 missed tackles yesterday

Our defense hasn't been good enough for 6 years and above. Capable of isolated heroic deeds but in general not good enough. On the basis all SL players can tackle, it has down to the right structure. For too long we've had to score 30+ points to be in with a fair chance of winning. Should be score 20 you're in with a fair chance. Appreciate in last 3 years finances may have prevented us make coaching changes, but whatever happens next, that has to be a very high priority.

I am genuinely shocked it was only 61 Roger.

I went on Thursday but not yesterday,watched all the tries on Super League Fulltime tonight, Thursdays was even worse when sober and yesterday, as the score line suggests was absolutely disgusting
