on Beswick at Breakfast
a bit at the start 0.30mins in and 2:12 into the podcast worth ..listening to

For those overseas or those not prepared to plough through the broadcast for the concilitory tones of our head coach I'll quote you the highlight's ..not out of context!








am I the only one who nearly chocked on his cornflakes after listening to this !

There's also an interview after with one of of the many fans who travelled all the way down to cardiff to witness such a display

This is the quote from our Club Captain interviewed after the game taken from the Engage site .




I know which response I'm prepared to except ..

Anyone with that kind of attitude McRae would be instantly sacked from my company! Get some balls wilko and get rid of him.

He quite clearly brings himself and the club into disrepute! An act of gross mis-conduct, end of!

16th Year as a Coach!!!

Sell by date????

His last two jobs in Aus ended in dismal failure

The three years (so far) at Salford have seen no progress whatever

Sometimes you just have to accept that your time is up, it's time to move on

Just playing devil's advocate here so don't get all upset.

Here's a quote to consider. A quote made following a bad patch in one particular team's season.
[i"the moment you start listening to the crowd and what they think is the moment you should give up coaching and go and sit with them in the stands"[/i

Now who do you think said that?











































Wayne Bennett...
(Although I recognise there's a slight difference in ability between the two.)

Don't listen to the crowd, listen to your own conscience

Ask yourself - what have we won in the last <n> years?

Ask yousrself - am I doing a good job?

Ask youself - am I improving the young players?

Then when you've assessed it - do the right thing!

What a shocking quote. I'm toying with the idea of sending him an email telling him why he should care, why WE care what people think of OUR club and that his 16 years in coaching mean nothing to us; personally not bothered what he did at Saints or Souths - Salford is what counts, the be all and end all. If he cannot recognise this then he should leave, simple as. Obviously a man with no integrity... Think I'll wait til the morning to send that email.

That's the thing. Technically speaking he HAS made year on year progress, two years of which he had the Super League's smallest budget for players.
Perhaps not enough progress but I suppose that's subjective.

I'd like to know what his remit for the season is?

My personal belief was that I'd like to see (or not see) 3 things this year.

1) Competing with and deafeating the mid-table teams on a more regular basis.

2) No drubbings.

3) 24 league points (4 of which should be a given considering the plight of Wakefield)

So that's criterion number 2 failed already. Criterion 1 possibly/probably and criterion 3, well, looking slightly less likely than 1210 yesterday.

I'd hazard a guess that when Wayne Bennett said that he didn't have to go back 15 years to recall the last time anyone was impressed with his work.

Granted, he'd won a couple of things in the previous five years or so. (Although I do agree with the statement on a broader level. Self-assessment is far more relevant.)

I am in my 6th year as a lecturer and you know what, I learn something new everyday, i develop different teaching strategies to engage and instill knowledge into my charges, I also have to complete a minimum of 30 hours of continuous professional development each year to keep my teaching licence. So I have to improve year on year to be at the cutting edge of new ideas and techniques to be able to do my job, I am not allowed to become stale. McRae may be in his 16th year but he has not continually been coaching and I doubt he has been on any refresher course since he want back to Aus to coach Souths to two seasons at the bottom of the table.
For me he has been too long at our club and if he stays I may not bother wasting my time watching, I have a form to complete for next seasons ticket, I may not bother now, because I can not see us improving while McRae is there even Simms, they are driving fans away and the new stadium will be like a roulette bowl with just a ball in rolling around.

Heard this I am completely appalled. As iv stated before at the FR meetings the players expressed their lack of respect for SM what does this tell you? But why do we waste our time voicing our views he will be here all year! He should of gone a long long time ago.

We are currently the laughing stock of SL with SM in charge I'm very surprised he didn't stay behind to commentate on the Leeds Bradford game?

Sack Simms and SM and bring in a world class coach surely with new stadium etc we will be able to have the pull of a high class course, noble yes (but only for a short term fix) but I'd like to see a more younger dynamic coach.

As stated before Alker not good enough needs learn off a better coach, and don't get me started on vievers defence coach ?? Shipped in 80 plus points in last 2 games against a half decent team and a mid table team, what happens when we are going to play the real big guns?

Rant over

So he does not care what we think of our Great Club what we say or even think.
In fact what do we know.
Arrogant Ozzie pr!ck
A 42-12 embarrassment and he is not bothered what the fans who pay towards his overinflated salary think.
Sounds like the comments of a man looking for a way out.
We can only hope so.
