1) he's kept us in Super League with an income close to a newsagent.
2) even with our poor bank account, he managed to get a squad together that can beat your millionaire team 3 times this season
3) as you don't support Wakefield, I can't see why it's a problem to you.'"
It’s a problem to me because the club are an embarrassment to full time sport. Happy to clear that up for you.

| Quote ="vastman"True, I meant two but the point is he’s hardly a seasoned centre.
That’s not to say I wouldn’t play him there and was baffled to not see him playing there on Saturday.
As I say I’ve totally lost any belief that Poching is up to the job. His inability to settle on a line up is frightening.
I hate to say it but he appears clueless as demonstrated in that second half.'"
Must admit. I have to agree with you.

| Quote ="Trojan Horse"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.'"
Looked it up using the excellent rugby league project site, which given it's aussie based it's pretty much spot on regarding NRL stats. It states Taufua has played a centre twice in his entire career, once for Tonga in the 2013 world cup when they lost to Scotland and a big defeat by St George in 2020. Chucking him in there given our current predicament would come with a high degree of risk. Who knows might pay off but i'd probably go Batch myself given his last two performances in that position.

Exactly. If he’s a left winger predominantly then play him there with Hall and move Murphy to the right with Batch. Seems the most logical.
I just watched the reserves and Kershaw had a strong game. Maybe another reserves game but he’s definitely be in my thoughts.

Why leave it so late to bring Whitbread and Hood back on.
What kind of defence was that in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
His players are a disgrace but after a year they are his players.
For the first time since 2006 I don’t think we can stay up. This team if you can call it that has no heart.
Great new ground, no team, how ironic.'"

Hold on aren’t you the same Snowie who hated the club, didn’t want to go ever again, I hate you all for accepting mediocrity or was that a different poster. You know the one whose best buddy was the pimp not so long ago.
How two faced and dishonest are you? You really are a nasty piece of work and a total hypocrite. It’s ok for you to personally name call but when I did it you pulled me up. I may have a fat gut but that’s better than a fat two faced head.
As for Poching you do realise we are still second from bottom and could still go down. I really can’t believe your that dim and I couldn’t care less what names you call me or how much faux outrage you show. It’s not over yet!
Tbh I’ve never respected you, I’ve always suspected you’re just a five pints tough guy but now you’ve show it for real.
I’ll reserve my judgment on Poching till this time next year or the end of the season depending.
Now bore off you sad little man

Can you now reserve your judgement considering you’re the one who created this thread?
I’d say you’ve already made your opinion on Poching and his coaching ability fairly clear.

Don’t drag me into the fact that you have managed to annoy another forum member. I wouldn’t say someone is a best buddy just because they have the same opinion on a subject or a person. I have on occasion even found common ground with you but I hope that doesn’t make you my best buddy.

| Oh Vasty. Just accept we have been doing well and the coaching staff have turned a team round that was so low on confidence they broke at the slightest push, to the point they took Sts to golden point, nearly beat Catalan and just ripped Wigan a new one.

I did, it wasn’t me who brought this thread back to life was it. It was your mate Snowie.
So tell me why not chastise him, don’t bother with a reply I know the answer.
Oh and just ignore his venous name calling, one rule and all that.
I’m now going to have a drink and enjoy the day as was my intention

| Quote ="TimmySmith"More than disappointed with the outcome today, something drastic needs to happen. It’s clear WP needs some guidance reading the post match reports, he was very well regarded as an assistant but something is amiss.
Any positives on today from anyone who watched/attended? Can’t have been all bad.
We have 4 “target” games left imo versus Cas and both Hull sides, a couple of wins and we should be fine but we can’t carry on like this. I’ll still be back when I can though, through thick and thin n’ that.'"
Seems you weren’t so sure not so long ago two faced Timmy.
Is it not possible to have an honest debate on here? The fact is that his coaching appeared dire at the time and most agreed.
The fact that he’s turned it around does not invalidate the original post. So cut out the sanctimonious rubbish. After the Cas, Salford, HKR games to name but a few this forum was outraged. Now it’s all wine and roses. Fickle fans like you I just love them.
Don’t worry I’m sure I’ll be cancelled for a week or two for daring to be realistic.
Crap season, whichever way you view it, just might be less crap than we thought.

I will, in the meantime feel free to rebuke Snowies for name calling. That would only be fair.

I agree a few bright spots do not change the underlying problems but I guess these can be assessed at the end of the season and we should enjoy a rare moment for this season. I hope you don’t think your my best buddy.

Where have I changed my tune? As you’ve quoted, my opinion was that something was amiss with Willie and needed some guidance and I still believe that. Am I happy he’s finally finding some success? Absolutely.
I’m not the one who outright stated he couldn’t coach and then attempted to backtrack, yet you talk about fickle fans.
Name calling and hypocrisy are what you’ve called Snowie out for. How ironic.
You’ve definitely had that drink you were talking about haven’t you.
