| Quote ="RyoWidnes"When you support and watch the untreated excrement I do, I find it quite comical listening to you lot moaning about anything, I mean come on, do you really think you'll go down when there are teams like Widnes, Catalans in the mix. PS you can keep the giraffe necked snake tho'.[/quot
In your pomp what would the Widnes fans be saying about replacing Howard for Crosby Sorensen for sims Davies for Evans or offiah for Russell??
Some see the lls as a success yes it's a nice cup to win but the goal for us to win a gf and in his time here we've only gotten to 3 finals won 3 cc and a lls along with the odd gf and yes he should be given a pass for this season but his free pass was used up season before last when again we were bang average and won zero.
people had this debate two years ago or were starting to worry about smith being the right man so it's not like it's all happened this season and yes with a cc final win we will take a lot more than attend the hj but so does every club I would imagine yourselves included would take more than the few k that turn up every week

| I think it is fair to say that things have not been right at the Wire since Old Trafford against Wigan in 2013. Hodgson was not played & it seems that things have not been smooth with player unrest surfacing at times.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but i think that was when we started on the slippery slope to where we are now.

^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^
I've been as guilty as most in thinking the decline from 2013 was just a blip as we rebuilt. But in all honesty last year we weren't outstanding just good in a bad quality league that year. And we didn't have the mentality required to grind out the wins when needed in the finals.
We are in real danger of losing our top flight status and we should have fixed this with the right coaching replacements earlier rather than later. I won't pretend to know who that is, but the form of the teams around us (even Leigh and Widnes) is evidence that we are sliding further in confidence and ability with each heavy loss.
We need a fresh start immediately. I know it won't happen though, the board will allow Smith and the old boys a season in the lower leagues to address our failings, and unfortunately our few genuinely world-class players will be free agents by then.

| Crazy conspiracy theories [cct....?
(Not what I believe to be case) bit I'm fed up listening to TS justification postmatch talk.
[cct#1 That dream that someone is on railway line and you dash in to pull them to safety in the nic of time)...ego TS saves the club from relegation in the nic of time...the Hero.
[cct#2 senior players want Agar or TS and Agar out, and have conspired to purposesly mess up every attack play on tackle 5, and to be slow to slide a defence as to let tries in out wide....over and over.
[cct#3 senior players want themselves out of the club do they can cash in on better deals under the dozens of vacant marquee positions around SL. So have conspired to get their 'current lousy contracts' cancelled with relegation.
[cct#4 the board don't actually care anymore!.... {this one has some substantial to it}
Feel free to add any others if you wish.

I can't dispute that things have been on the slide since then, people seem to dismiss 2014 as being bad but we were one score away from getting to the gf at wigan, that seems to have been eclipsed by 2015 being fooking dreadful.
I recall us being average that year, choked in the cup semi and struggled with a cobbled together pack.
I would equate that to 06, when we got a couple if big wins at Bradford and wigan, and our first play off win, but it papered over a huge amount of cracks
