Could you tell me Bob what the guy has done behind the scenes, as I only see what is in front of me? Are you happy at the way our team I performing under Sandy after 2 1/2 years?
You are bang correct with that last comment. He has been incredibly lucky to have kept his job.

Do you proof read this e or is it worse, you actually believe it? Immense knowledge and intellect, aye - that explains how it's always someone else's fault we lose.

What experience does sandy have of root and branch overhauls at rugby clubs?

He's just trolling, gotten a few bites and I feel dirty being one of them.

I think you give him too much credit

Only just come onto this thread and also seen the news we've offered him a new deal. My only hope behind it all is that Hudge is going to give him another year + , by which time Sir Stanley will be more experienced as a head coach thanks to his work up north and we'll be able to appoint the chosen one.


At least that is the only teeny tiny positive I'm possibly clinging to out of this, can only see we've gone backwards under CS. The fullback dilemma underlines it for me- bringing back Eden rather than trying Ullgia or Duzdek (Or even Caro!) at FB. Where would have been the harm in trying one of them rather than go back to everyone's favourite bomb dropper.

I've had that, best to see a doctor.

Yeah, he should have ignored the fact Caro is injured and played him out of position at FB.
Hey, maybe you could be our next coach???

His twitter account said he wasn't injured.

something not right going on there. Another Lovegrove scenario going on there me thinks.

The plot thickens......

Caro played for gateshead today didnt he?

Caro at fullback,really?
I can't believe this has been suggesting in the same thread Eden is called our favourite bomb dropper, comedy gold!

No some hull daily fail reporter tweeted he was injured and Omari replied that he wasn't.

Spitting coffee over the keyboard moment.



Doh!

You're new around here, and I welcome new posters with open arms. I also (as you can tell from my avatar & username) have a good deal of respect for Stan. However, SL head coach material he isn't, and in my opinion never will be. Your comment about Caro to fullback doesn't do your credibility any favours mate.

Hudge offering Sandercock any sort of deal will be a disaster. He will see gates plummet next season if the clown is in charge.

A lot of fans would argue after 2 1/2 seasons were still at square one with CS though.

My thoughts exactly.

Currently we're aspiring to get to square one and coming up some way short

is there some glory trophy winning years I missed out on before sandercock came he has a similar sort of record to Morgan yet Morgan is treated like a God

morgan got you to the dizzy heights of 4th, sandy will have had you finish outside the top 8 in 2 of his 3 years in charge by the end of this season

It’s not really fair to compare, but…
Morgan got us up, kept us up, got us into the play-offs and won a play-off game. It was uneven at times, but it was definitely progress and it was all new.
Sandercock got the ‘transitional’ brief. It turned out to be a tough one – there were a couple of SL quality players coming through the ranks, rather than the cohort we hoped for. And the quality available from Australia was not quite what it had been. The board have given him more money to spend this year, it seems, but the honeymoon period was over already and it hasn’t exactly been a great leap forward.
Morgan made mistakes – the two year extension for David Mills, for example. But a lot of CS’s signings (and players he gave extensions to) haven’t worked out for one reason or another.
While it shouldn’t matter, Morgan engendered a much greater sense of optimism, a feel good factor. Mind you, his worst year for injuries was probably better than Sandercock’s best.
Sandercock has done okay-ish. Just about. Under the circumstances. People at the club will see what he does behind the scenes and I can only think that the offer of a new contract is based heavily on that.

If the fans think Hudge is at the club everyday or Mike Smith is forever checking on CS then you are all deluded. I would say they probably meet once a week and apart from field sessions, the directors will never see the 'work' that goes on.

Although not particularly a Sandy fan I can't believe some of the comments on here.
How can you blame the coach for what has happened with regard to injuries.
Poore & Langley Knee / Patela injuries very very rare
Cox & Laroyer Broken Legs
Cockayne not sure but long term
Lovegrove unknown
D Hodgson was out for quite while
Gleeson had to retire after not really making any input to Rovers
A Walker knee
J Walker knee
Eden what can you say ( Brain Storms )
Caro unknown
That's at least 12 players from what you could call first team regulars out for the best part of the season come give the guy a fare shout. And on top of that we have had guys suspended by a bent disciplinary system and our Chairman done a grand for telling the truth
