It was the Thursday night show. IIRC it was something along the lines of if it carries on the way it is, it is doomed. To defensive, not as exciting as it was the last time he was here. To slow around the play of the ball and to many wrestling coaches. He thinks there needs to be some rule changes to bring an end to slowing the play of the ball.

ta pl it does need some changes but i rekon the comp is great atm

The only time we were doomed was when HE was at the club!

Last year was a poor Super League but this year looks far better. I don't think you can pick a winner at the moment with it being a play off system.

The smaller teams do look to be struggling badly. I personally think most of the current top 8 will be in those positions come September with only Wakefield and Catalans outside the current top 8 likely to break in.

look at huddersfield last year apart from the cup played boring rl but last night brilliant attack. last year they were unfortunate to lose brown near the end of the season

The first three weeks to the season were no doubt sensational. The best super league season opener we’ve had in living memory.

However the last two weeks it has returned to the bore fest that it was last year. It seemed like we was getting it right for the new term then the standards slipped a bit.

millward wont be slaggin off SL when hes at our place

IS SL 2 LEAGUES IN ONE ?

Why i am saying that is its 10 teams battling away to make the top 8 plus 4 making up the numbers crusaders,quins,salford and catalan (at the mo)

pointless comment?

Bring down the substitutions by 2.

i predict he will be back in SL very very soon.

Only because Leh are statistically likely to draw a SL team in the cup.

Ian Millward soon to be Salford's new coach?

Strange your comments coincidence with when Wigan have been winning.

Now there in trouble



If they thought McRea was bad just wait till Nillward gets his hands on things

I think the next vacancy will be in Yorkshire.

Hopefully, Wigan v Leh at the DW so we can do what we did to Whitehaven a couple of years back. Then let Basil come back and say that Super League's doomed.


Wait, I can hear a drinks order... Pint of bitter for Mr Millward.

Even stranger is the fact that he's a Leeds fan.

Where? Bradford? Cas?

I can't see any of the other clubs having reason to change coach and IMO it would be a bit harsh if either of those two did anyway.

Either way I can't understand why any SL club would employ Milllward again. While he may have been stitched up getting the boot from Saints he gave them the ammunition and it must be common knowledge how he lost the dressing room here big time and seemed powerless to turn things around.

The club who are rumoured to be losing their coach will not be sacking him, he will move on to the vacant England seat. All I have heard is rumours but they do seem to be pretty solid ones.

Wakefield and Kear then



Dave

Terrible idea from both the RL and Wakefield if that true IMO.
