The posting WP, can't coach is correct, watching back on TV, the camera kept panning on him, he had NO emotion what do ever, he had NO contact head phone or mike, no change of tactics of encouragement ! In his post match interview, he said, I believe in the players they know what they are doing, SO, that means,once he picks the team, game over win draw or loss, they know what they are doing ! Get all other club coaches do not do this lack of contact & are prepared to change things, we must be relying on Franie to make decisions/ call etc, etc !
The club needs to get a grip & Fast !

What absolute drivel. How long have you supported the club? Have you forgotten the several bankruptcies, the near demises of the Club, the appalling 1980s? We are run superbly. We are solvent against all the odds, in super league on a tight budget and have an ownership that has fought like trojans against a developer and a council that behaved infamously in preventing us getting a new ground and has finally got us to a place where we are getting a better stadium. Whatever happened yesterday, I'm not having this nonsense

See the previous reply. Utter drivel

Willie seems really bloody minded about the Croft v Batchelor selection in that right centre berth. Reminds me of McNally's persistence with young Mark Field at fullback in 2005.

Hopefully he will have the good sense to play our new signing who should be match fit.

I’d put Batch at centre and Taufau on the wing where he’s played mostly.

Got to say Sylvian houles has done a good job with Toulouse turned them from a championsh club into a competitive SL team much better than us on yesterday's performance hate to say it but I think that they will take our SL place.

He aint gonna get any chuffin ball on the wing! Put him in the centre with Evans outside.

Yes I think in our current position he will be more useful in the centre. His NRL defence training will be of much more use before we train it out of him.

We will see where he plays. I just hope him and Bowden spur us on to a win.

Well he gets another chance next week, let’s hope he proves he can coach because we are rapidly running out of time.

Centre is quite possibly the hardest position in which to defend. Taufua has played all but a couple of his 1st grade games on the wing, it’s a big ask to ask him to come in and try turning our season around in an unfamiliar position. I’d be putting him on the wing with Batch at centre.

Never mind if Willie can coach Scarlet , can the players put in an 80 mins performance, that’s what I’m more bothered about , you can bust your nuts off on the training field , but if you don’t get your head ready for the fight on match day , it’s all a waste of time . Yes he’s made some dubious positional choices , but the bottom line is they are payed professional players and as such should play with passion and pride for their club week in week out , it certainly isn’t asking too much from the fans .

Brimming with positivity as per usual

No it’s called reality based on having the worst points difference in SL.

Taufua has more experience at centre than Batch



All I know is that summat has to change

Not sure about that. Batch has played at centre a number of times over the years. Seem to recall he played a number there last season towards back end. I read Taufua was a winger that has probably played only a handful of times at centre.

Not that it matters. We just need whomever plays there to do the business. Whether that’s Batch or Taufua.

Using the royal we then, we have only had the worst points difference for 3 week, so do you think that is the amount of time it will take.

I don’t even use the word WE but sadly you can look at our defence over the last few seasons but that involves having an interest to look which is not one of your strong points. He could be the greatest defender but when there are two running at you it is pretty irrelevant wouldn’t you agree.

I regularly back against us when we are favourites just to try and put the kiss of death on to our opponents. I'm not sure whether to continue with this strategy or switch to backing T.O. to win every week?
I had £50 on T.O. at the weekend @ evens and now have the dilemma of bulking onto either Hull KR to win or T.O. to win. Have to wait for the odds to help my decision.

Well look what we have here

Yes but that was not the one quoted was it, I replied to that. I would suggest you be a little more specific in the future to avoid you looking silly.

Plaster for every sore springs to mind here squire.

How about “we are all in this together” a popular slogan at the club which I hope settles your clouded mind on the use of the word WE. I wouldn’t want you going through life in a fog like haze on why I used the word WE, which clearly troubled you.

Nothing troubles me captain and I certainly don't go through life in a fog like haze.
There are confusing signs regarding you if I may point them out
Firstly there is the club, the board of directors, why is it that you criticise them at every possible opportunity not once publicly showing your backing for anything they try to do
Why do you always criticise the coach and his staff, every game you complain about his team selection, yet you haven't been near the ground for 3 year.
Why is it the players never get it right even when we win and there's always criticism on most players, simple question really, why do you bother at all coming on here, after all it must be quite painful having to watch it all on Trinity TV arguing with genuine fans who have the desire and the fortitude which you plainly haven't, one thing was is always missing from your posts, that's encouragement, don't bother with a half baked stuttering reply saves you any embarrassment
