I just can’t see that in any work or sporting environment that Price has any leadership qualities.

Doesn’t bring direction, totally unconvincing, no passion and commands no respect.

He’s just a bit of a wet fish; but always remember that he didn’t give himself the job. I just can’t imagine Price coming for a job and walking out after the interview and everyone thinking ‘wow, we need to hire him.’

Well last night's performance might have been acceptable in the 80's but not now.

I would have been happy for henderson to be our next coach but I'm not sure he will be able to turn it round now. I'd rather he was in charge for next week's match than price though. I'd actually watch it then anyway.

Love your posts pal..Gail tyldesly lookalike.. Brilliant

Feeling numb this morning.........last night was the worst I've seen ever!!!.....No attack....No defense....No ideas....No heart.....great team on paper packed full of internationals but play like a park team! Hill and Cooper provide no go forward but just because they play long minutes get picked along with Currie. Widdop/Austin are 2 marquee signings who look like they have been away with Burrell from league for years! Christ we even made Dwyer and Myler look like world beaters! A clearout is required from top to bottom!

I agree , I think we could do with a clean break No more Jobs for the boys culture.

I hate to say this But a Tony Smith Style "Clean Sweep" is Required

First class facilities, directors who never stint to put their hands in their pockets, enough backroom staff to start a small war and brilliant away support for our matches. Then there is the squad comprising 5-6 England internationals plus BMM. Yes there are some deficiencies, but that squad should easily be capable of finishing top 3. Most of the pieces of the jigsaw are surely already in place ?

What is being said in the changing room and those ever so important one to one relationships between coach and players is unfortunately a white space on the map. There is no point in believing what players or the manager say to the camera / press. New players that join a club are apparently living the dream and have had a life-long ambition to play for you, coaches are stunned at poor performances because the squad trained really well beforehand and were up for the match. So we are only really left with the players body language and level of effort in the game to do the talking.

Looking at the game against Toronto I thought it was the worst performance from Wire that I had seen in a long time. There was nowhere near enough effort from some of the players, the team looked disjointed, and the defensive line was very poor. On the few occasions Toronto threatened our line they looked as though they could score. I thought perhaps they were low in confidence, which considering the talent they had available compared to Toronto was perhaps ridiculous, but they were certainly not 'in the zone'. Toronto worked hard, never stopped trying when they were behind and shrugged off the errors that they made. In short they were a model for how we should have been playing. The Leeds game was similar with little response when we went behind. It seemed that the team were almost accepting defeat and just going through the motions.

Regardless of exactly what has gone wrong it's clear that the coach / squad relationship simply isn't working, and this run of poor performances stretches back a long way. I just hope the club acts quickly rather than allowing this situation to continue, otherwise I will be back to playing plastic cup football in the empty spaces of the South stand.

Shane Flanagan is available. If I was Moran I’d be on the phone to him this morning.

That applies to the playing squad too. Price must go, the buck stops with him, but there’s a core group there that helped to end Tony Smith’s tenure and they’re doing the same here with Price. The attitude on them stinks and the lack of desire is a worry.

So who is in the so-called ‘core group’?

Spot on, BiS,
Good old Wire. "Do you want a job, 'cause you can have one. You've been with the club for years, so you'll know everyone blah, blah blah."
The whole nice culture we' ve exuded for decades, bites us on the bum, time after time.
Briers, Westwood, Chambers and countless others given roles. What exactly has Briers done, since retirement. Bar the 3 months of Sandow brilliance, our attacking play has bored the life out of our fans. We rarely score any tries outside the opposition's 20m zone. Just barge over tries, or scoots from Clarke resulting in a pass. Briers isn't a solution. After 7 years, he's a problem. Henderson's 3 season, and nothing has changed. He too, is a problem.

New broom. New support staff. Bye bye Old Boys network.
Time to be ruthless

We might as well get her mum, Audrey. She's got more attacking ideas than Price, AND she could sort out Austin's hair, and give Clarke's beard a trim, too.
Everyone's a winner

Plus shes a bit of a Goer . So may be good for dressing room Morale ?

To be honest Its one of the Things that leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I'll never forget what Briers did as a player , however if I see his big beardy face looking blank again I may cry

So looked at the news this morning and there is no news so he he is still here then

join the club with us at hullfc.radford lost 13 on the trot last season,and still kept his job.

Even though were Challenge Cup holders, it's difficult to make a case for the defence with SP. Something is clearly not working with the performance on the field in the last 9 months, Moran and Middleton must also be getting frustrated, too. They'll want a better return than they're getting on their outlay.

I had forgotten about Flanagan until I saw his son playing for the roosters last week. He has been allowed back as an assistant in the NRL but I wonder what stance the SL/RFL would take on that restriction. Before Moran gets on the phone to Flanagan we would have to check out his eligibility to coach in SL first.

I’d start at the beginning with little things..,.
No more player thinking he’s bigger than the club....
I’d allow nothing but black boots... gone will be the ‘look at me in my star shiny silver, red, yellow, blue....boots.
No more dying hair to say look at me I’m the marquee.
No rolling socks down to the ankles....look at me with tattoos.
No more wearing cycle shorts....I’m a posy athlete.

Everyone wears the kit and travelling uniform suit correctly as we were taught at school. Ties fastened, polished shoes...no personal Walkmans. Everyone knuckles down and works hard. Everyone look equal and everyone is treated and respected equal.

It might sound trivial or daft to some, but this team is rife with prima donna’s and louts...they need pulling into shape as no player is above the badge on their blazer.
They have a privilege and duty to respect that badge and all it stands for.
.....Then feckin bollox and drop anyone who betrays that.

No use trying to get things right on the pitch, when players can’t get it right whilst travelling down on the players coach.

I like that - Brian Clough style, in his prime

It’s why Wane would of been perfect.

It’s not a big fix but a mind alignment.
I’ve never been in the forces but I respect those who have and are. I’m pretty sure on parade before inspections, RSM would tear strips of any soldier who lets slip the equal display standards of his unit.

Some clubs don’t like the marquee principle. Might be a financial reason or a thought it could be devisive . Used to be a time when every player was paid the same, and agents weren’t living it up taking money out of the game. I remember them asking Gareth Edwards why he didn’t come north, he said he couldn’t afford the pay cut.

Iirc, we stopped doing the uniform bit, after Murphy left, in 1997.
I see and take your point, duckie.

A few of our (and other's teams) players, are trying too hard to look like low level Premier League footballers.
I'm half expecting a player's personal assistant to run on after 80 mins, with a pair of huge headphones and a pair of clip-on bling earrings, getting ready for the "star's" interview with Jenna Brooks

I too see your point but those days have gone. Not from RL but in general.
