Keating is an issue because he offers nothing at all in attack. He doesnt take it to the line, he doesnt put people through gaps. His running game can be decent but we have seen far too little of it. And his kicking game isnt good enough to justify the aforementioned deficiencies.

As for Sandercock I thought his time was up a while ago but hes still clinging on. We havent moved forward and I dont think he is capable of doing so. People say he's good with the young players and developing them which is fair enough but the priority is the first team. And if CS left it doesnt mean that someone else cant continue the good work with the young players.

I would get rid, and give Chester until the end of the season to get an idea on his abilities and whether he should be considered the permanent replacement. In the meantime start the hunt for a coach for 2015 both over here and in Oz. We might miss out on the playoffs but to be honest it saves getting hammered in the first round anyway because the max we will achieve is 8th.

It is getting embarrassing in the east stand I remember when we used to get behind the team and no one is saying you can't question a decision but this victim mentality is cringing for instance I never heard a murmur when Craig Hall knocked on and we got the decision if Gardners try had been scored in the same way by a Huddersfield player we would have been up in arms we seem to have more songs about the refs and the rfl now

I'll still give keating time, burns was an also ran last year and I think it takes a year to settle in a team for a half back. We dont want to turn into fc and throwing away good half backs too early.

see how he progresses next year then judge him

You really are the voice of reason. There'll be lots on here who won't like what you're saying.

As much as I agree with other posters about how poorly a scrum half Keating is. I agree more with the above.

I totally agree, I actually think he's not that bad, in a steady rather than spectacular sort of way, lets face it he had massive boots to fill in Dobbo, and who ever we got for the role was always in a no win situation.
