| I have gone from sponsoring players and giving money to the club to the point where I just dont care anymore. I doubt I am alone. I dont think its just down to Karl and his coaching. I feel the club has gone stale and the fire and passion has gone out. I admit I am a negative person more than a positive one. But I think the club is in a serious rut and drastic action needs to be taken soon. Its more than just changing the Coach as well. I feel the problems at the moment cover a range of issues both on and off the field. If its not careful this club will end up struggling to survive. It doesnt need stupid gimmicks like free holidays or people making stupid statements. The club needs to work out what it wants and how it will achieve it with a framework of how it will get there. Right now it is drifting aimlessly. If people dont like what I put or think I am wrong then fair enough. But thats just how I feel right now

I agree with that statement. Not heard anything regarding players resigning for next season yet either and a whole host of our squad are out of contract this season.

| Quote ="chris_smith"HJ I admire your stance but for me due to my financial situation as a sole income household with 4 kids rugby for me is a luxury. I've supported them for 30 odd plus years and is something I pay for not just out of blind loyalty but enjoyment too. Professional sport is part of the entertainment industry and for me I can't see where our once great club delivers on this...... I've said it many times but KH is slowly killing the club with his brand of rugby. You only need to look at crowds to see this. I agree with Mike (Haighy) and what he says. Yes the club needs its fans, although some of the emails I've had from members of the BOD are poor at best. I fear for the club in its current state but whilst it has its head in the sand and in denial I'll not be dipping my hand in to spend my hard earned if I can put it to better use elsewhere.'"
I understand and respect you points.

| Another worrying thing for me is that I heard on Sunday that Tony Abbott will not be with us after this season due to his personal situation. I don't know how true this is but it would certainly explain the unusually low profile he has been keeping lately.

Without trying to sound to callous how about keeping his Mrs sweet because if he does have the money that has been made out she will be due a very handsome payout.

Why gutted? The council have used their brains and allowed the naming of the two stands in return for sandal
BMW paying for extensive pitch works and drainage to be done over the next few seasons. Those who
Follow the groundsman on Facebook will know about the work about to begin this week.

Yeah, but he's known for not being too keen on the rugby league side of the community stadium usage so why would we as rugby league supporters ?

| For me the issue isn't the tactics but recruitment. The way we play is and has been hugely successful all over the rugby league world! You only have to watch any number of Nrl teams to see that! Dull yes, unsuccessful ? No!
Rhinos biggest failing in my opinion is he's failure to recognise the importance of no9's in the modern game! Yeah, we were spoilt with penky, beswick and Gleason all in the same team but that's where the majority of our games were won.
You can't have 'a guy doing a job' in that position it's the catalyst for the whole attacking side of the game. Rhinos failure to address the position once penky left is his biggest issue and its the reason why we can dominate possession and field position without ever looking like scoring!
I don't want to push for any coach to leave a club let alone someone with as a rich a history as rhino does but the decision not to play mennel last week, for me, is the biggest contributory factor to why we lost.

I agree. what kind of message does it send to the lad when he's our MOTM one week but can't get into the team the next?

| And these are the reasons why KH is not right for the club, we only have a few options in most positions and we do not have any luxury to rest players, Must be best 17 every week.

| Who gave him MOM at Worky? Thought he were poor to be honest and couldnt have any complaints about been dropped.
To be fair though I thought Kaye was not much better and for me both have been very poor signings and are far too slow around the play the ball.

| I guess that shows how poor we were. His kicking game was awful and Bracek was probably our MOM by some distance for me.
