Nice guy who is suited to an admin role. Not a head coach.

Why stand on the sidelines if you’re not actually going to interact with anyone?

No more assistants please

Hodgson definitely is not the answer and whilst he may not be the rot he is part of the issues we have seen for 2 seasons now. It is clear for anyone to see he is way out of his depth and just isn’t the coach to cure/sort/resolve the issues and problems.
Whilst he isn’t the one dropping balls etc he is the one that is picking the side each week and supposedly coaching them every week. To have one performance like today in a season is bad enough but the amount we have had yet again this season is quite frankly inexcusable.
Next season I just don’t see being any different as neither he, Purtill or Ellis have shown they can do the job.

There’s no way back now. The chants from the fans tell you that patience has gone. Not heard that since the Agar days.

Exactly all Hodgson did was stand there looking shell shocked, clueless and totally void of answers. I’ve watched him closely since mid part of the season and during a game he hardly communicates or directs anything or anyone. You look at other coaches and they are all constantly talking and making notes etc but Hodgson just looks like a wax work dummy. There is a real lack of direction and it starts or rather stops with him as head coach.

Agreed and unless Pearson pulls his head out the sand and pulls the plug on Hodgson he will have very little revenue coming in from the fans as they won’t be there.
I would have thought Pearson would have learnt a lesson by backing the last coache for two years too long but clearly not.

I was in the West stand today and could see Hodgson stood on the touchline arms folded all game. He didn't interact with anyone as far as I could see for the entire match. He looked like he'd won a competition to be there. He's a complete joke.

Who do we get next?

Who's out there

Anyone see Pearson and his reaction?

Why not make play for Tony Smith? He would do well with your resources.

Take any of them.

McGuire won the NRL with Souths.

He just had no clue or answers to anything and it’s alarming. To go into next season with Hodgson still at the helm will cost the club and Pearson massively and it could be a mistake that there is no recovering from.
There is no identity or in the team or any aspect. Instead of player the lads who played well and showed desire against Toulouse Hodgson brought back Houghton, McIntosh and continued with Johnstone who for me along with Gale and Smith were appalling.

The club is in a relegation battle already next season if Hodgson stays on as Coach. The likes of Hoy, Trueman, Sutcliffe and Dwyer ain’t going make much difference under the current Coach and our second row looks so weak it’s unreal.

Another season wasted season and next season will pretty much be the same by giving an out of his depth guy the chance to pick players for next season.

This season's abject failure sits squarely at Hodgson's feet and the ensuing loss of club revenue sits squarely at Pearson's for propagating this farce.



The squad that Hodgson has assembled has no right to challenge for the big prizes, but it is emphatically better then the dross we've supported and painfully swallowed.

I'm happy, with what we have, to accept we would lose more then win, but in those losses they should be gallant defeats.

The team are unmotivated, confused and do not fear any consequence to bad performance.

I dont buy into this "rot" in the club. A RL player has a short and finite career and they cant gamble with having bad seasons and poor application. They are badly instructed and managed.

Hodgson out. Now.

To be quite honest don’t think we would or could be any worse if we asked the tea lady to take over from Hodgson/Purtill/Ellis for the impact or difference they made or make.

We seem to constantly spin a wheel of assistant coaches and hopefully we get lucky ... Spin again Pearson .

It's a direct lack of knowledge at the top of our club, James Rule too anyone, who's advising Pearson?

Would Tony Smith in a director of rugby role, and a new coach underneath him be the way forward.

Could be afforded by letting Purtill and Ellis go...........

Change is coming, whether Hodgson keeps his job when it happens is the question

What does that mean?

Could mean bringing in someone above Hodgson . Hopefully ,Hodgson wont be here .

If it was on sky I would have liked him to be interviewed after the match instead of the coach.

Bit like the R/L knowledge of some on here.
The modern game has passed them by

People in glass houses

If Hodgson keeps his job then its no change
Pearson has left it too late now living in his fantasy world but when he wakes up and reality kicks in he will realise he has wasted two good years and his credibility is at a real low level.
If he recovers from this financially i will be surprised.
With most of the recruitment done for next season there is very little he can now do to get fans back into the stadium as our squad for 2023 looks very weak.
The jam tomorrow message wont cut it anymore

We are at the lowest of the low now , can’t go any lower . Think some fans who expect us to be challenging for trophies don’t help , we are years from that until we get a full clear out from top to bottom . Painful to admit but it’s true , rovers with that team , did the basics right and had a game plan , we had absolutely nothing like most the season . I was quite enjoying it , if only it brings change at last . If hodgson stays he needs help , like a dor ( smith ) and what are clarkes qualifications, for the role he does . Either Pearson changes his mindset on how the club is run or he sells up and someone leads us with In a different direction. If we go into next season with no change , same again will happen !
