Bet you feel like I did when Agar got his inexplicable extension on April Fool's day. That was for 2 years, to boot. Like a long tunnel of darkness stretching ahead with those making the decisions seemingly incapable of switching on the light.

I think Sandy's had a raw deal with resources and has been treated shockingly by Hudge in his recent media outpourings. My guess is he probably thought he was signing up to a completely different job after passing that aptitude test. But that doesn't make him a good coach, and so far I've seen very little to indicate he is one. Feel for you.

cs is a bit like marmite when talking to rovers supp, you hate him or love him

Quote ="Seventies red"This book may just come in handy. www.amazon.com/How-Lie-Statistic ... 0393310728'" According to that book we have the best defence in super league.

I'm at best ambivalent towards him. I just don't think he can do his job very well. Nowt personal you understand.

So that book is what Red Hall have built their internal systems on lol

I neither hate or love him to be honest. I feel he is doing a good job with limited resources and has been unlucky with a string of injuries. We are playing some of the best attacking rugby I have seen i a while, but are poor defensively. I think, if he gets his preferred 17 on the pitch for a sustained run you will see a much better time and probably see us top 6 easily.

Hey, I agree (in part) - hence the vision of another year of your posts.

I also tend to see it as a sensible move though - against the back drop of uncertainty from above. It doesn't appear like there's going to be a 'red knights' takeover imminently. The soundbytes from Hudgell and Crossland don't suggest like they've got the drive to oversee an overhaul in the direction the club is going to take. The finances certainly don't appear to be there in any event. So we're not really in position to attract a good CV or at least pay for one.

We've had a year and a half of CS' Rovers now, and it's clear (to some) where a lot of our problems lie. IMO we haven't shown enough overall improvement on a consistent basis to expect any different now/next year. I wouldn't blame CS for his shortfalls now. As a club this is where we're at and this is the path we've chosen to continue on. That's not his fault, that's our limitations.

Top 6 ?

With a full 17 for a decent stretch, yes I don't see why not.

Happy for Craig, would be the wrong to get rid. As others say rovers play good attacking rugby and I think he has a great knowledge of the game. What he appears to lack is being able to motivate the players to be aggressive, something Morgan wasn't afraid to do. But no I like him and am happy.

I can understand the thinking - stability. But if I was a Hull KR fan I would have more than a few concerns. Not good enough imo. Suppose he may come good.

But you're not a HKR fan so you don't need to be concerned. Much the same way I am not an FC fan and, as such, couldn't give a toss about them.

It is not Craig who is not good enough it is the players (with a few exceptions). The main reason is youth & I think he has improved some of the young players but they dont have the experianced players in the numbers we need to let them into the game gently it is sink or swim I am afraid some days we are sinking others we are just about keeping our heads above water, & the odd occasion we are great (last Saturday).

You mention them enough to suggest that you do.

Do I?

Yes HTH

I suppose when can expect him to moan again next season at Easter time about 2 games in 4 days.

Care to tell me where?

Terrible coach is Craig, so bad that had we won the derby, we'd be level on points with Hull.

Had you won all the games, you would be top of the league! But you didn't. And you aren't.

If he could teach us a worthwhile defencive pattern then he wouldn't be too bad, but he cant...

when you pay peanuts you get a monkey, that's what you did that's what you got

How much do we pay him?

60,000 peanuts per annum,
