#cluesforcoach

I think he alluded to as much in his recent interview with Peter Smith, Clueso. I think his shoulder injury was pretty bad last year and he may still be carrying after effects. No real pre season. He hasn’t been awful this year but certainly not what we’ve come to expect.

You trust us in the transfer Market ?

Careful. I got slated something rotten earlier this season for saying the pack isn't big and nasty enough. Everyone sings about how big Lisone's penis is, but forget about how little the opposition actually cares. None of our forwards intimidate the opposition like they should.



He isn't the only parent of a young child in the league. Almost every club has them. And has done since the invention of sport. It's no excuse. If he is too tired to do his job efficiently, the club should have someone else capable of taking his place.



This is what has rattled my cage. The officials aren't fit to do their job. The RFL aren't fit to sort out the officiating. It's hard enough having to compete with the opposition when we have a depleted squad full of underperforming players, we can do without having to compete against incompetent officials who are moving the theoretical goalposts every game.

I can't thinknof one thing that felt right about todays game. It was all an embarrassment. The governing body need to make drastic improvements to the way the games are managed. The club needs to make improvements in the recruitment and coaching. The coaches need to make improvements on the player management and tactics, and the players need to make improvements in their performances. Everything is sub-par at the moment.

If we keep gawky it’s jam

You can't be saying that on here

Perhaps if we didn't allow the merciless intimidation of young referees in the amateur game by parents - especially mothers - we might have a bigger funnel of potential talent coming through. No its all part of the game even when they get the decision correct they get abused and with no protection - completely exposed to the thugs that support the likes of Cas Panthers, Eastmoor etc

He just did

Smith unusually critical of the abysmal refereeing yesterday, also some uncharacteristic quotes about ever loss is a blow in his life, sounds like the pressure is on. Maybe its play offs or bust, Maybe one reason for recruitment being slow is GH wont give him the players without getting the results this year. https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/ ... te-4270623

Hope not,waiting on calls like that will guarantee bargin bin time

Some very poor refereeing decisions looking back there at the footage.

Fans never highlight the ones that go their way!!

No referee - no game

No one should use poor decisions as an excuse especially the coach quality teams overcome adversity in whatever form it presents itself. In the past we have had players in the leadership group that would use it as fuel to fire up the rest of the team alas that ownership of responsibility has been ripped up and thrown away by the current coach but he is the man to turn things around apparently.

true.
but this referee, whatever the teams, simply isn't good enough. it's every game he does. watch him next time he is on sky. all over the place. had Greg mcallum still run the referees he wouldn't have lasted long

Of course they dont that’s the nature of being a fan, im not blaming the officials for is losing but I think that’s a stinker from all 3 officials.

Spot on Tad.
I`ve read comments from other fans who have had him refereeing and he is totally clueless.
The guys a clown.

I di think we have ti remember he is still a young referee and I’m not usually one to bag referees they’ve got a difficult job but they do have to learn from the mistakes so i do hope there is a process to help them.

The abuse he’s got on Twitter is abhorrent and I hope the person responsible gets a visit from the police.

If it’s a case of he’s not ready, will this not be worse next year when more refs are needed because we want video ref at every game.

Being a VR could be a good way for younger refs to develop

he's had plenty of games.
he simply isn't up to.it. it happens with players too

Fair point Graham.

Been in Outer Mongolia for a few days and pretty much missed everything but the score, can someone enlighten me as to what happened to Bentley/what injury he's suffered?

Think he went competing for the ball and went head first into a defenders knee after he jumped to get said ball

Cheers.
