Funny your IP tells me your at home with Karoo

You can call it a dummy spit if you want, its a nice evocative term

If you read it all through the Friday nights where the last straw.

True I do not attend the KC ............

I like thousands of others do have Sky and the evidence is clear to see, I also have people telling me what is happening. I also have the experience of the last few seasons and players like Leopards do not change there spots.

Ian my friend!!!



Hows life?

a couple of mates of mine sue and steve are die hards pass holders and steve is no longer going to games out of protest and hes never done that before my mate sue cant believe how the club is being run ps this isnt a wind up and i hope for steves sake something is done for the good of your club and the fans.

Clearly Sue & Steve have not been going long then?
Have they not noticed we are currently in the play-off positions(7th), there are 14 games left, we lost games by a couple of points in a tight competition.
Or is their disapointment due to the fact your team are higher than theirs at this point

The money that has been saved from Crockers non arrival should be used to go to Australia and obtain the services of the best available Coach. Salary Caps can not be carried forward and we are unlikely to use it on player recruitment this season.

Nothing is going to change without a clean sweep across the coaching staff. Action needs to be done as soon as possible before the club falls further into decline.

Can you just tell me exactly what this decline is

You've seen us play, right?

Have you been asleep?

Yes every home game, 3 away games, no argument we are in need of a couple of players and the coaching decisions appear questionable

However we are playing a damn sight better than some teams, Bradford, Cats to name just 2.
We are only 6 points behind the current leaders, imo we are in a lot better position than this time last season.
Just because we are not playing brilliant rugby (which I would also like) how can it be said we are falling into decline, now if we were Bradford it may be an appropriate statement.

If that is your perception then fair enough, many would not agree.

Unfortunately its because there are still a large number of people who still think what is being served up week after week is acceptable that things are unlikely to change.
There were people near me clapping the players at the end of the match which I found unbelievable. Applause has to be earned.

Just because we are not bottom of the table at the moment does not mean we are in decline. We need to do something about it now because that is where we are heading.

Supporters who have followed this club for a number of years know we are not in decline, they have been through the hard times.

A top 4 outfit where we should be? No.A club in decline No

2nd, 4th to 11th is a decline, and I very much doubt we'll finish 4th this year to halt that slide

and this shouldent be 'hard times' for the club, its not like we were battling for our existence like we where in the 90s

I must admit anyone who doesn't believe that we as a team are in decline really needs to give their head a bang. We play the most one dimensional game in the league and it doesn't even play to our strengths (although I have to admit I'm not quite sure we actually have any). The squad is wafer thin on quality, the coaching set up is simply abysmal and the board are so far removed from the fans they might as well be on another planet.

I have supported this club for over 40 years and believe me that second half on Saturday was one of the worst, and its not isolated.

I dont think we are on decline, we have just stagnated, while the rest of the division are improving.

Our game plan ( I use the term loosely) is poor and we havew no organisation or leader (on and off the pitch).

We need to change things now before it os too late.

Missing out on the play-offs again when there are 2 more spots would be very disappointing.

Really, and who appointed you as the mouthpiece for said supporters?

Plenty of the people I've known for a long time and have been supporting the club for inexcess of 30 years think we are in decline.

Just look at the table, where are Bradford, Cats, Wigan, Warrington, Cas (wooden spoonlast season). The cap is starting to filter into the game, the competition is tight and so it should be..Any-one is capable of beating any-one on their day, how many teams won at home this week-end, (one of the top of my head).

The hardest part is yes we should be in the top 4 however we are not due to different factors, No Crocker & Lauakai, no Raynor, Motu, Tom Brisocoe , Thornman who is cr@p. And yes the coaches need to start making better decisions. Our position in the table upto the end of last season was in decline however our club is far from in decline and lets see where we finish at the end of this campaign

I've been following for about 25 years, we've had worse than this.

Plenty of people I know have supported AND played for the club for as many years.
Please do not insult me by suggesting I would be a mouthpiece for fans like yourself

I'm not disagreeing, what we haven't had is worse than this for no good reason.

We've had times when we were skint.
We've had times when just about everyone else in the league was genuinely better than us.

What we haven't had, in my memory, is the opportunity to kick on as a club and simply not taken it for reasons other than Rugby League decisions, that is what people mean by decline, it's a decline in ambition and expectation.

If you want to start slinging insults around then I suggest you find someone to spar with that gives a monkies what your opinion is.

I know a fair number of former players that agree we are in decline, you don't agree, which is fair enough. There really is no need to descend this into some playground cat fight.

But we stand a good chance of finishing above 11th, which would technically halt the decline.
