I was never a fan of the decision to give Poching a job because we have often seen a "assistant gets the job" resurgence after a sacking, followed by a disastrous season the year after when they have it permanently. This is where I hope Poching proves me wrong.

Every season has a sticky bit. Going into the Cas game, we have been looking good, and even in the first half of the cup game we did. Wigan were just more clinical when they got a sniff. Chester found it impossible to dig us out of a rut when we ended up in one. Webster was the same before him. If Poching can, he's done his job.

What worries me is that Toulouse keep getting almost-wins at home. If they beat us there, they will be close enough to make us panic.

Nest Sunday is the chance for a reboot. For me, this next couple of years is about surviving. After that, the extra income that the ground revamp can provide will hopefully enable us to buy better players.

But the reboot has to come against Salford, or else we'll end up in one of those ruts we can't get out of.

Have you got PopTart's problem with his new phone, or have you made them up

Let's cut out the insults and sniping please (feel free to DM each other to continue it if you wish!)
I will start deleting posts if it continues.

Lots of stuff seems to get made up on here, usually by people using other names, whatever makes them ' happy ' I suppose but like some say MUD STICKS.

Have to laugh at the ( Cas are crap) statements and they expected to lose ,I’d take Evalds,Mcshane,Edwards,Mamo,Watts,and Westerman in a heart beat . Simple fact is they were up for it and we weren’t ,no great analysis needed . Our problems this season are compounded by our new recruits who putting it kindly are underwhelming and that lies squarely at Chester’s feet . They have added nothing to the squad ,so in effect we have gone backwards, and to compound our problems we have a fair few of our stars missing far too regular to get a settled team you only have to look at the Miller/Lino partnership to see that . Poaching will be hurting ,he was a winner in his playing days he knows what the clubs about ,let’s give the lad some slack .Let’s regroup and get some bodies back and throw the kitchen sink at these next two games and see how we go . I’ve seen enough at saints to know that when they have the correct mindset they are a force to be reckoned with and can compete ,get it slightly off cue and we court disaster as we’ve witnessed these last two games . We’ve a long road ahead so buckle up ,did we really expect anything different anyway ,what would we have to moan about .

You know me do you.

The dog I’ve always known you were, seriously you sound so tragic, so obsessed and so lost.

I forgive you.

I actually owe you a sincere apology.

I meant to change ‘pathetic’ to ‘harsh’ which would have I hope you agree have been far less combative. I forgot to send the edit, totally my error.

People would miss me, I have as many fans as enemies. Most actually get what I’m trying to do, provoke debate and question opinion.

It's all relative though isn't it? In relative terms, when you look at the league table, if someone had said after the Easter games, we'd be 3 clear of Leeds, and 2 points behind Warrington, i'd have bitten their hands off. If we are doing badly at recruiting, there's something wrong at the club, etc, etc, then there's something seriously wrong at the 2 clubs I've just mentioned! Also Hull aren't exactly setting the world alight are they........again.

Think we done ok with the players we have got .But why were we buying players that are not up to it .Think it is something that as got to change big time .Apart from Hall the other signings have been poor to say the least .Yet we let a player go who could cover wing ,6 and 7 . and gave 100% for the club and more importantly the fans .At least W Poaching signings are less injury prone .So I suppose that is a start

To confirm……..

Absolutely no one would miss you on here, the fact you think you have actual fans only shows how warped, egotistical and deeply deranged you are

I only deal in facts

You’ve had a tantrum because we lost to Cas and said you weren’t going to post for a while

And yet you’re still posting………

He's spot on, he does what it says on the tin, he stimulates debate which is his intention without provocation, some agree with him some don't but they all have one thing in common, they all respond to him, the difference is most people are adult with they're response

Clearly this thread has run its course.
Picking fights is pointless. Leave it alone
