Why is Mac still our coach?

Best ask David Hughes.

Search me

Most Salford fans want McRae out. Swap?

Just been looking in on the Salford board......there is a very spooky parrallel between both clubs at the moment.......Poor coach.......lack of commitment.........lack of marketing etc,

And speaking to a rugby league journalist tonight, the press box choice to lose the Super League licences next year.

Will we last that long?

What kind of effect would losing your Super League licence have on the club?

Quite simply it would cease to exist!

Quins won't lose SL status, I wouldn't worry about that.

And if Quins ceases to exist, you can almost kiss goodbye to the development of rugby league in London.

Here's hoping.....we need to keep the licence it'll help get bums on seats after we move into the new Olympic stadium for the 2013 season.....

Harlequins coach Brian McDermott:
"There's no anger from me. The scoreline and the nature of the tries was tough.
"When we get those players back, we'll have our run but it's not nice at the moment while it's happening.
"I don't think any of our players turned it in out there tonight and that's the most impressive thing for me."

He has no idea.

What does he mean with his last line??

lmao .... I came on here to suggest exactly the same thing !

perhaps we should both stick



p.s. I'll do you a favour and actually suggest that you dont take McRae, as he's coached all the skill right out of every player we have

The guy is an idiot. Anyone who knows anything about rugby league knows that a solid go forward pack is the foundation for any side to compete. From our first choice pack we have Purdham (a loose forward) and Temata missing - I suggest that whilst they are super players, they would make little difference to the current set up - all in all too lightweight and one dimensional - as witnessed by Hull game and from reports from last night they struggle to even bust out of their own 40m.

Regardless, by the time the injured players (and I mean decent players) return in April confidence in the squad will be so low they will make very little difference anyway. And to make matters worse, the boys who go off to the Skolars to get a run are more often than not on the wrong saide of a hiding as well, harldy creating a winning mentaility. I am struggling to find any positives at the moment.

Very sensible post

If Rob Burrow had kicked all the conversions (and this assumes that there weren't any penalties in the mix!) then that would have equalled our highest number of points conceded in a game and would also have been our record losing margin. The club would appear to be imploding rapidly - don't write off the opinion of the RL jounalists on our future, they can be privy to information that isn't published.

as the man said above, simliarities between the coaches indeed, fwiw I wouldn't wish BM on anybody

Crusaders have got 3 better coaches than him.

And im not really a fan of any of them.

Brian Noble would have been a great catch for Quins.

Its not just the number of players we are missing but who they are. I'm no great fan of McDermott but I do wonder if other coaches would be doing much better at the moment. With Melling, who is not a stand off, and two 17 year olds in the key half back positions, as we had yesterday, we are going to struggle against anybody.

I agree we look lightweight but I would suggest that the first choice pack is also missing Ellis and Robinson (and possibly James).

ahh we may have signed Nobby
only problem is would we have been happy moving the club to within daily commute distance to Bradford area???

Does anybody seriously think he would have gone to Crusaders had they been staying in Bridgend?

Back to the basic issue
we could have the best coach in the RL world here, BUT WE DONT HAVE THE SQUAD TO COMPETE THIS YEAR
its a simple fact, look at the players we have, Danny Orr Chad Randall, Melling and Sharp thats 4 out of 13 on the field Ok LMs is promising but be serious
We need cash not a new coach
