This is embarassing. We are poor. All of the progress we have made over 5 years is being lost. Its time for the board to say thanks for the memories but bye.

We need to act now otherwise we will be in some serious trouble come the end of the season

Hill, Ratchford, Savielo, Westerman, Clark and Lineham to stay. The rest need shipping out. A rebuild is needed. Fresh ideas and not excuses.

Monoghan? Hodgson? to come in? Thoughts?

First and foremost a new coach just to try and stave off the threat of relegation.

Once (IF) we survive let's spend the next year worrying about the squad rebuild.

Tony Smith has brought major success to you lot. Yet now screaming for his head.

It was only last season you finished top.

He should be given a free pass today as you were never going to get a result away to a top club like Cas.

and what about the thrashings at leigh hudds cats sts leeds..thrashings happen but nearly every away game is simply not good enough

God you lot are so fickle. You've got an actual fan bankrolling you lot for years. You've been spoilt with success for years, but you'll still fill your bandwagons for Old Trafford and Wembley tho' no doubt.

Yet we have won nothing of note since 2012 despite having one of the best squads in the league.

I've seen Wire fans boasting about winning a few League Leaders Shields on these boards and now because you lot want Smith out, you simply are now suddenly dismissing them and insisting you ain't won anything since 2012.

Roy have you nothing better to do than troll?

Only as good as your last game. SOMETHING has changed since last year, and if only we knew what. There seems to be no aknowledgement. We're not "just below where we need to be", clearly the touchdown club isn't the only thing we're bringing back, playing like real relegation fodder.

Well you can forget Monaghan and Hodgson for a start. There is no evidence whatsoever at this stage that either of them have the makings of a good, never mind a top, head coach.

We need change, but it has to be the right change, made with the head not the heart.

We need an uber-coach, and rather than throwing money at players who quite clearly don't give one, throw the money at a coach with the pedigree instead.

Could see Cullen return in interim if smag go. Assisting Briers.

Interesting to see Briers is never in people's plans for the future..

When you support and watch the untreated excrement I do, I find it quite comical listening to you lot moaning about anything, I mean come on, do you really think you'll go down when there are teams like Widnes, Catalans in the mix. PS you can keep the giraffe necked snake tho'.

Briers would be in my plans... just not as head coach.

john kear until end of season

Could be a mercy appointment, considering his current employers will be in the play offs. It'll be good to help out the smaller teams.

It's quite conceivable, maybe not in your world of course, that the people saying those things - try and get your head around this for a minute if you can - are actually not the same people

You're missing the point. We haven't won anything else, anything new. There hasn't been progress.

Wire fans don't demand or expect successful seasons....we've endured mediocrity season after season with sporadic dominance.
However we won't put up with the puss taken out of us. Effort must be 100%, we will take the losses graciously...
The issue is...how many dare hold their hand up and say "I gave 100%"?

that is the long and short of it 100% bang on well said

Well said.

I couldn't care less anymore.. bought a season ticket for 4 of this year for the first time... That won't be happening again.. I'll get the kids one, but no way am I ever being locked into this scenario ever again.
If we were at least trying to score, i.e. Wigan.. I could handle it... But it's bordering on match fixing to get the coach sacked...
I heard a rumour at half time at the first home game vs Castleford that We were looking at bringing Craig Bellamy in from Australia next year... If that does happen... This whole mess will make sense at least.

No chance.... Bellamy Signed a contract till the end of next season.
Signing him for 2019 season would be a more likely option (assuming we are still in superleague).


Cronk will leave at the end of this season and you would think Cameron Smith and Billy Slater will consider retiring at the end of the 2018 season as both would be 35 midway through that following season.

would Bellamy want to stay at Melbourne without Cronk Slater and Smith. it would be brave....

Perhaps Tony & Rich would fit in well advising the PM at no 10.

After yesterday's printing money exercise of - 14 at evens on Castleford. This week's appears to be Wigan - 4 at 10/11

Is it just me but I'm kind of enjoying this season. I cant really put my finger on it but its probably the intrigue and the change from the norm that's appealing. Ok we may go down but I don't think we're a financial nut job and so we'll survive and return. It's a big dipper ride and its more exciting than a carousel.
