I'll pay! Unfortunately I can't afford a contact for an experienced coach to replace him. I suspect that is the problem or are we waiting for a new owner and a new CEO.?. Meanwhile it's groundhog day and the damage being done to the club is becoming so bad it will take years to recover if ever.

Obviously that's your opinion.......

If anyone has any doubt about how damaging relegation will be. ( unless you have a rick backer like Derek Beaumont) Try looking for a preview of this weekends Summer Bash. The big weekend for the championship. There is nothing in any of the daily newspapers. Nothing on the BBC sport rugby league pages and you have to scroll right down to the bottom of the Love Rugby League web site to see an article about the special shirts to be worn. How will we ever ger a major sponsor with that sort of lack of exposure to the general public.

Applegarth is seriously damaging is future career as a head coach now. After this nobody is going to touch him for a lead post with a barge pole.

Any news why Proctor didn't play

He did you just won’t have noticed him because he did nowt.

What is it now, 15/15? That is woefully embarrassing. How can anyone say he has a future as a head coach when you think how many times we’ve been nilled this year as well.

Ooops

I feel sorry for MA..
He’s in an impossible position at the moment….he’s had the least amount to spend on players , inherited some rubbish that was not of his choosing from previous seasons.if there’s a new backer coming in , it’s highly likely that they will want a new head coach, there’s little point in searching for a new coach until that happens…
His first team CV doesn’t look great… however let’s not forget he was instrumental in setting up the elite academy licence… he has a knack for bringing young players on… never before have we had so many players coming through from junior level..

If we end up under new management they’re likely to get someone else in … but I would be of a mind to think about his previous position and wether he would be prepared to take up that role again…

I don't see anything relating to SL neither the whole sport is in a rut.

This is exactly my thoughts. Even if a new owner doesn’t come in I suspect this will still happen and he will go back to a assistant.

Can the club afford a taxi

The problem we have currently is the timing of the takeover, if it happens. As MC said, he is in the awkward position of continuing the business as usual until that happens but what he isnt going to do is sack the coach and bring in one that the new owner is not happy with. So until this deal goes through, or doesnt, I dont see a change happening.

Its obvious he's been instructed to play them,while its also obvious they dont want to play.Applegarths not a fool. He will know what a sh#tshow this season is and what its doing to his career the poor guys been given the brown end of the stick by the board who just want their cash out and leave without them putting owt else in

Also got rid of the younger players in stupid swaps .,what left us playing 32 year old second row men in the .Ok he as got some old way past it players from Chester but Poaching overall with no money ,made far better signings

His problem is the coach took the king’s shilling (CEO) and despite what we all could see he is slowly killing any hope of being a SL coach in the future. The incumbents don’t really care because they are negotiating their own exits and I am sure the coach will not be in their considerations. He has served his purpose by taking on the job and accept the squad available which I doubt many other coach would have gone along with.
The bottom line will be he either walks or waits until a possible new investor takes over and hope they retain him in some coaching capacity but I doubt it will be the first team.

your judging him on his first team performances.Im not talking about him continuing in a first team role… buying and selling players, coaching .I’m talking about him doing his previous role, bringing the young players through..a role he was more comfortable with.

If you’re judging on 1st team performances, the defence against Catalans was an absolute disgrace. Absolute embarrassment we are.

We are one coach down,
The solutions simple Mash to asst and bring in a new man.
If mash doesn't want to play ball then sorry but bye.
Mash must understand that his opportunities are very limited with his record at the moment and are dwindling with every game he's in charge.
Needs to be done now.

I think it's about time we start helping Mash and the team......maybe we should start doing something like this https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cr0nwpCI ... BiNWFlZA==

Not judging him on any thing . Any body with half a brain could see this was going to happen ,when they got rid of W Poaching to bring in a Academy Coach . Went because of player power not training them right .,So what is the excuse for Applegarth, The team can not tackel ,run , pass a ball bringing injured players to the squad If this is better coaching than what W Poaching was doing it is mind blowing what Poaching was up to

It wasn’t working with Poching either. Other than a late season save it didn’t go very well at all. Obviously they have tried backing another coach but it hasn’t worked out and is looking like it might end up worse.

Poching is history. It’s not a Poching vs Apelgarth thing. It’s whether Apelgarth is ready. As it stands he’s not looking like he’s ready for a head coaches job. He needs to do more time as assistant and that’s no shame. He backed himself but we don’t always get things right.

I suspect we will have a new HC come in and Apelgarth revert to Youth/Assistsnt. Possibly in the off season.

Sadly after we are relegated.

Anyone seen the photo of the "Applegarth Out" banner stuck up outside the Donny Rd entrance ??
Yeah, we all know we're crap but that's taking it too far IMO
