Clubby and LMS have regressed over the last two years. If the same happens to all of the other talented young lads coming through then it will all have been wasted.

There has to be a balance between local kids (and they are just that, kids) and imported talent (whether from up north or over the ocean) and the club just isn't getting it right. And that is the coach's fault, he has put this squad together no-one else. For example, Wilkes is a good player, not great but a good super league player. For him to leave Wakefield and come down here the club must have offered him a very sizable increase in his wages. Is he worth it? Instead of signing Matt James and Ryan Esders would it not have been better to sign one big bugger prop forward?

I know it's a difficult job, but I think Brian Mc is consistently getting the big calls wrong which means we have a championship team playing in ESL. Ultimately, that puts off fans and investors.

Which is why I would like to see someone new at the helm.

Sorry nadera78 I cocked up your quote and got my J O'C / Bolger comment mixed in with it - sorry

I rarely do the quote thing 'cos I always end up messing it up somehow!

If only we had a talented coach coming through the ranks. When does McD's contract run out ?
