I pointed the same out elsewhere that McClennan was given the boot for a season which stood good comparison with most in the history of the club. By comparison, this season is heading towards being the worst ever in the history of the club by a number of measures.

Pushing out McClennan was ridiculous imo, if Mcguire and Peacock didnt get injured (or even just McGuire) then he would have won three GFs on the bounce

But, GH saw something he didnt like and you have to say he gets more wrong than right, just as Im pretty confident he will do whats best at the end of this year

I assume you mean GH gets more right than wrong?

and then we have John Kear pundit/coach and yes a winger, cringe worthy just listening too JP talk he's so full of him self

They've got a hooker, a loose forward and a pair of props in the commentary box and none of them make any sense at all.

I'm not entirely sure what Peacock's point is but anyone who has watched those DVD's of the GB Tri Nations tour down under in 2006 will know that it was the winger (Brian Carney - GB vice captain) doing most of the talking in the dressing room pre-game, half time and post game rather than (Peacock - GB captain).



Peacock's dressing room contribution after Carney had spoken at length to the rest of the players was often nothing more than to shout out... [i"Come on lads, lets now get out there and f****** smash 'em!"[/i

Well McDermott's comment on targeting 4th place looks on the mark now!. Pity he did not finish the sentence that he was referring to the middle 8s - MOT

Carney and Wells, putting rugby to one side are very intelligent men.



I'd rather listen to them than the original source material for Bo Selecta's Mel B impression.

Absolutely. Carney spoke with so much passion and did everything he could to lift great Britain. I like JP but if that his point it's massively disrespectful .

two reasonably well spoken persons with university degrees.

He's already looking like an idiot. The team has not improved since week one and that is down to the coach. Points scored242, against 380 i.e -138

it doesn't take a genius to realise that they they need to tackle, tackle, tackle. Forget the attack just tackle the opposition into the ground. If you stop them scoring you've got a point already but NOTHING has been done to shore up the defence all season!

Hardaker has been in dreadful form all season at fullback. I do not know if he has been carrying an injury but he has looked slow of foot and slow of thought. Like many players that rely mainly on their physique he will not be as good once he loses some physical advantage which has happened. Other teams realise he is not going to pass and have him worked out and he looks like a busted flush this year. Last night he too was thrown around like a rag doll and when he was moved back to fullback as Cas took their foot off the gas he still looked insecure and as bad as he has been all year. I would look to try and cash in on his past reputation and get rid.



Golding was one of the few to keep trying last night and has shown he has the mental toughness and enthusiasm to not to dent his confidence but with forwards not tackling around the legs he had had a busy evening with breaks coming all over the field.
