Go Nathan go. Time is up really - thanks for the memories.



He is over complicating our systems. Why not play players in their preferred positions? Sometimes his ego to make a difference is not positive. There is some Chinese warlord proverb about the best generals go unnoticed because the troops just do what is expect of them - and they win. Undramatic, simple and as expected.

Yes i think so, but not because he's leaving at the end of the season or just the bare fact of losing the last 4 games.

We've seen coaches announcing they are leaving clubs before with no apparent effect (eg Anderson at Saints, McGuire at Wigan) so have no problem with that - and it was the club that made the decision remember.

As for the losses, in both the last 2 we got into a winning position near the end but then shot ourselves in the foot - and yes I know we didn't play well.

My issue is the same that Jon Sharp was critiscised for - bizarre team selections and players playing in unfamiliar positions. This is something that I noticed last year but has now got worse. One player missing leads to 4/5 changes which given the size of the squad and the strength in depth is a joke.

Kev Brown missing at Widnes - we were told at the start of the season Cording was training with Brown and has been talked up as a ball player - surely a direct replacement and a one for one? No, lets change all the backs round which led to taking time to settle, which led to 16 pts in 12 mins! Defence is a problem so I expected a tackling machine called Fairbank back on Sunday - no again! If he wasn't full fit why was he in the squad?

It's decisions like these, plus I get the impression NB is a bit stubborn (apologies if wrong - I don't know him) so don't see him changing that make me think we should make the change now.

Baloo took over with Purtill from Sharp and made immediate changes to put players back where they belonged an we played some great rugby as well. I also have a feeling he will be a bit like Wane at Wigan, who quite obviously gets his team revved up and take it to the opposition.

Lets get back to 4 props (or minimum of 3), and a 6 and 13 who play as that - KB hasn't played as 6 or 13 for last 2 years, he plays in a 20 metre strip down left side (obviously playing to orders).

Maybe Betts has told him he'll be 6 at Widnes playing from centre field and getting hands on the ball every other play, which will put him back in contention for England?

Defence has gone lately, especially right side - why not put Murphy in at right centre to stiffen it up? Been impressed with him on his limited opportunities.

should go now but should have gone weeks ago

His usual platitutudes in the examiner.



Suggesting some players are not playing well ( what really ? )

Distinct lack of self responsibility or personal ownership from him. ( or even explaining why so many players were played out of position. )



I wonder what the players made of his comments......?

time for the tinkerman to go. A good coach but



1Has disrupted the side every year with the will he/won't he/ he is leaving debate.

2 Has a ridiculous obsession with playing people out of position.



3 prefers Moore to Lunt.

nathan has to go im afraid players are getting frustrated and divisions in the team are starting to open e.g. keving brown v LOD not getting on with each other at all.



the back line at widnes was just a joke i cannot understand the reasoning of that what so ever. should let baloo take over now and start to implement his stuff we could allready be looking at next season with the way the team looks like its imploded and if we are not carefull more players will look to leave so this needs sorting asap

Maybe LOD tackled KB in training like he and F'alago tackled Peacock at Leeds not got bounced off by a lightweight like Farrell as did KB in the Wigan game.

Baloo has a major imput, its not all down to brown on selection & structure.

Yes next year will be different with fringe and senior players going & some signings..... Again baloo has a major say.

Lunt sealed his own fate by sorting his loan long before moore signed.

Get bEHind the squad cos SL teams are improving weekly.

I hate to say it but its time NB left. He hits the same slump every year and we always get a different reason why the slump occurs.



I am confused about the teams lineup and I cant help wondering if we are a test bed for when he moves to the Saints.

Where was the slump two years ago? i seem to remember the Gaints ending up one game from old trafford.

short memories!

My LOD trumps your Kevin brown on every level...



If we lose against kr (and rest assured hope we do not - and events turn around) but should we start a NB out protest after the game?

No -because that sort of behaviour from fans doesn't do the club any good- ask Warrington!!!
