Would all look and feel very different if we'd lost today, of course, but 7 from fifteen, with a thinnish squad and a fair few injuries is not bad. We've been hellish uneven, but that was expected to some degree.

The credit has to go primarily to the players, but lads like Walker, Salter and Griffin have stood up pretty well in their first seasons of playing regularly. If CS does go, he'll have left us with something to build on.

I bet Pickfords were on standby outside Sandercock Towers today...

don't worry if kr beat hull next week sandercock will sign a new deal. just a guess i am not in the know it maybe just rubbish you know

According to one of the Hull kr directors this afternoon, the rumour regarding McNamara as coach is a load of boll**cks, his own words, take that as you please.

Lets hope so

Sandercock to get another contract 1 year at least he deserves it IMO I believe some of the players have actually improved under him Hall, Josh Hodgson ,Salter, Beumont to name but 4. He had the bottle to drop Eden, Morgan would not have.

He has had a squad depleted by injuries all season.OK he has made some mistakes,but it's not him that gives penalties away and misses tackles. If we had had all the players fit and well and we were in the same position,yes I would get rid but no give him another season at least

Whether he gets another contract or not, someone is needed to sort out our bloody edge defence, it's terrible at the moment. Surely the wingers coming inside and leaving gaps is a plan by the coach, otherwise it would have been nipped in the bud a long time ago. Unless of course the players are not listening.

I 'second' this.

That may be true but he also fielded Sam Latus in THAT game which counteracts all 4 of the names above. Deliberately throwing a game is inexcusable.



His team selections are baffling at times. Others have said dropping Eden was the right move. Sorry to disagree but Hall is nowhere near as good a fullback and prone to making similar mistakes. If he had Real guts, sandercock would drop withers and reinstate carlisle.



Good to see Brown back and drop hapless Caro though.

I keep to-ing and fro-ing on this but I'm not sure McNamara would be a solution.



What about Kear? Track record of getting the most out of limited resources?

Re Sandy I agree about the baffling team decisions made at times, Beharrell should have been used v Cas rather than against Wigan. Sandy got away with it due to us beating Cas but to play the young kid v a red hot Wigan team was bordering on criminal imo.

Resting Eden V Cas was another strange one.

Withers straight back in in place of Keal is another non sensible change, surely players on form are better than players getting upto form ?

All in all I believe the decision to not give him another year or 2 has been made, at season start I was a Sandy fan, now im not due to the silly media comments like "automatic selections" No player should be an automatic selection in my eyes ! Even if some like Dobson ARE, Sandy shouldn't go in the media and mention it !!

I think Sandy is doing ok. Agree with some of those above. Salter, Hall, Paea, Hodgson, Walker, Beaumont all improved under Sandercock, above all for me George Griffin who I reckon is a future England player. How much of this is natural maturing and development is difficult to assess, I say give him credit.

Can't see why anyone wants to see Eden in the team currently, the guy needs a break as his confidence is shot and he has major concentration issues. Him and Caro were responsible for 5 of the Wigan tries last week. I would like to see Hall have an extended run at fullback, kicking aside he has made very few errors this season. I think FB would be his best position, don't agree with those who say he is an off half.

Withers was excellent last season and looked better against Wakefield yesterday. I think it's a good decision to get him back on the field ahead of Carlisle. We need as many experienced heads on the field as possible currently when you look at how many youngsters are out there. Carlisle will get his chance again and at this stage comparing the two, Withers is clearly the better player.

'We' were calling for youngsters to be given a chance and when they make mistakes and we lose then get on the coach's back...the guy can't win (literallyicon_smile.gif) Our defensive frailties can again be attributed to the inexperience of the squad...it shouldn't need saying really but they are learning.

He's bringing on youngsters on a reduced cap in his first senior role and is doing ok...give him a break.

In summary...McNamara = No.
