What a softcock.

Sick of hearing this guy already he's only been here 5 mins and he does nothing but whine and complain.

Don't a fair few players do Origin midweek, then an NRL game the friday/saturday after?

spare a thought for us in the radio humberside area, when this guy comes on the radio his voice is so whiney! at least he lives up to it! never stops moaning and whining everytime the dobbins lose, blaming officials, lack of video refs, the weather.....

He needs to shut up, as do most Aussies.

All the teams have short turnarounds, so its not as if Hull KR are at a disadvantage, is it?

Good god he isn't half a moaning bloody Aussie, at some point he'll have to take responsibility for something instead of always blaming someone else.

Yeah that's what i thought as well.

He is the coach of the team I follow but I have to agree with the posts on here. I just wish he would accept things are different here, he also won't shut up about the referee's & not having video at every game. once he has done it & won somthing then he might have some gravitas but untill then please stop whinging.

Does this guy ever say anything positive? He's getting his excuse in early in case his precious side lose on Friday. Surprised he hasn't used injuries yet. Or travel disruption. You can guarantee the referee has got it coming as well.

I wouldn't mind, but his argument is rubbish anyway. For a start, Monday is three days after Friday, not two. And I'm pretty certain they not only do this in the NRL, but they do it FOUR times a year (3x SOO and 1x NZ/Aus international).

In conclusion, he's a whinging Aussie tool.

Back in the day they sometimes played 3 games in 3 days at Christmas time.

They should bring that back and see if Jamie Peacock's head explodes.

This bloke is not winning any friends - he's only been here 2 minutes and every interview I've seen with him thus far has been characterised by moaning and whining about one thing or another.

Man up Sandycock!

Do we need the Easter Monday game? Let's face it, Easter is all about the Good Friday derbies. The Monday game is usually a bit of a non-event, and it is the Monday game that makes it tricky.

He was really positive pre-season in every interview he talked about sports science and how he invented it.

Is he off again? He has only just stopped moaning about the ref at the Cas game (for which I think Morgan got fined a few years ago).

Get a grip sandycock. He really does have one of those faces you just want to slap doesn't he? This is why we have squads. You don't see FC having a whinge and they have just pulled Radford out of retirement to make up the numbers!

Yeah, shut up you stupid soft Aussies... Sandercock, McRae, Millward, Raper and Tony Smith have all whinged about the Easter schedule at one time or another. If they don't like it, bugger off back to Oz. Moaning gets! We English just get on with it and tough it out.

Anyhow, the round after Good Friday is always entertainingly diluted as intensity drops off even further and dummy halves get to scoot 20 metres instead of ten and we get plenty of joke scorelines too. It's brilliant and it's what Super League is all about

I sympathise with him entirely TBH, especially coming at this fresh from the NRL.

You talk about Origin, but that only affects 34 players out of 200+, a lot of whom don't back up in their next club game. When the Broncos used to field the vast majority of the Queensland side you'd fully expect them to drop some or all of the games around all three Origin fixtures.

The man is under pressure and like all all Aussie's its always somebody else's fault not their's.

You got it SwiftCock

Je...sus!

What the hell will he be like when he opens his curtains this morning?

he thinks kr have it tough going to salford what would he be like if he was in wires position of going to catalan for backing up on easter monday

It would appear he has also invented the 6 day week. He's complaining about having to play a game 2 days after Hull Derby, it's to be hoped he's told everyone else that Hull.K.R are kicking off on Sunday afternoon.

Did he not research the 'differences' between here and there before he agreed to take the job ?

Yep, the Easter Monday round of tag rugby fixtures are going to be a fantastic showcase of everything that's brilliant about Sooper Dooper Super League and I can't wait to see all those players limping around, puffing their lungs out and falling off tackles while others take advantage of scooting around in wide open spaces blowing out scorelines to their hearts content. Bring on the entertainment and bring on the huge scores! Flat-track bullies by plenty

So you get a few stating he's a soft, whinging Aussie for disliking the Easter schedule then go on to say how the Monday games end up being flat, Sandercock is trying to make the point about backing up on Monday and not being able to have the same intensity.

FWIW, I'm still unconvinced about this guy fronting our club as it is.
