Justin Dooley. Find out about him and offers and withdrawing of offers. That was far, far worse than some geezer who strung the club along after being offered a contract only for the club to think they'll simply go and get someone else.
So once again, it's not the fault of the club.

| Now there's a blast from the past. Decent player.
Have to say I'm with Rooster on this one. IF the club offered a contract and set a date it had to be accepted by, and it wasn't, they are within their rights to withdraw their offer. A fairly standard negotiating tactic within the sporting world.
The issue of replacing Andy with like for like / better is altogether a different matter.

Of course the club are within their rights to withdraw an offer but it doesn't look like we did it from the position of having a decent Plan B.

| Justin Dooley must be the most penalised player in SL history - at least as far as I can remember, which is basically Dooley being penalised all the time, strong runner though. In good company with Paul Davidson.

| Saints and sacking a coach. An example of a significant change in approach, attitude and desire to win.
If we win tomorrow we limp on to another half hearted effort or two under a coach who can't inspire at the team talk. Lets face it, after half time have we scored first or have the opp come out more inspired. Salford, Castleford from this year, add the rest. Last two years 20% win ratio overall. Exclude last year and its 12.5%. Win tomorrow and its 22% sounds like success.

| 100% so far (120 mins). Its not so much about the person in charge at present more about the significant change of attitude of the players at Saints.

Dunno not checked my Rothmans or Gillette books. However Saints change of attitude is apparent. Ours I've yet to see. Tomorrow perhaps. Likelihood narrow.

What is it at Saints? such a dramatic change, okay some of the younger players may have come through the youth system with Mike Rush but I had never heard of him until he started working with St Helens, okay Kieron may be an influence, but then all of a sudden the wheels have come off with Mac at Leeds??

| I thought it was traditional for Leeds to have a blip before their fixture with Bradford. A couple of losses for them is hardly a crisis.
We have not won two home games back to back since 2010. Castleford 16/05/10 40-24 and Crusaders 23/05/10 50-22. Oh and we got tonked away at Wakefield between those two fixtures. Since then only 4 home wins (Bradford 2010, Crusaders and Leeds 2011, Castleford 2012). Start winning consistently at home and people might believe more in the team. Win today and a hat-trick is on at home. We have not done that since 2007 (Wigan, Hull KR and Catalan).

| They are capable of beating anyone IMO - just depends whether they play to their capabilities - which hasn't happened yet. We could win comfortably and look like highly motivated champions, or play like they have many times this season - clueless and lethargic. I just think we should look at it as building for next season now, getting the players gelling, improving the young players abilities and experience, improving the defence (if possible) and identify new signings to change things next season. Have to assume that the new coach will start after this season imo.

| I'm not sure they are capable of beating anyone, as conceding 30+ points per game would suggest you will lose most games.
Did I hear Clarky say the top teams conceded on average 16-20 points per game over a season.

| Consensus [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=27&t=517898here[/url was that we'd finish about 8th/9th.
How is it looking now? 13th for me.

| Im going to be positive as I think we will win this tonight with near enough a full compliment available.
The win should then guarantee RP his job for the forseeable future.
Sorry to have reverted to negativity, I was doing so well there for a minute.

Note which clubs they play at and where they currently sit in the league(Sharpe being the exception)'"
Last season Will Sharpe was going nowhere as he did not have the 100% backing of his coach. However the arrival of a new coach has been instrumental in Will becoming a highly prized member of our team, and he has in fact been voted as man of the match. This to me illustrates the importance of an experienced coach, who is able to mould a player's performances. This is not particularly a swipe at Rob Powell as I would love to see all teams coached by a British coach.

| At what stage does the whole club situation become unacceptable. Powell is responsible for the product and therefore indirectly the crowd
Gus must be pulling the little hair he has out-How can he doe his job with this rubbish
Will Leeds be the end-(I Know!!)

It feels as if we are just surviving, when you go on the club website and then transfer to the club shop which seems to be direct to the manufacturer have you seen how little we seem to have in stock now, email's to the manufacturer are never replied to?
