listen i arnt bothered who coaches at craven park just heard its happening for next season i think its a step forward a half decent young english coach. read into it what u will. ask about then get back to me.

Has anyone considered whether or not Craig Sandercock wants to extend his contract?

IMO he has grown into the job and even though it has taken time he is red'n'white thro and thro. For me he is the man to lead Rovers forward. He has assembled a squad full of potential and I want to see him given the time and space to develop it.

McNamara would be a step back IMO. Also, there are a few players here who only came BECAUSE of Sandercock, Paterson and Burns are two and I doubt would stay if Sandercock was shown the door.

Give him another two seasons and bring in a specialist coach to deal with defence.

I don't know think the last game proves we can defend when we want to albeit a very poor FC side I wud also like to see sandercock stay as rovers coach as I think hel just get better and better

Saying that a performance against us proves you can defend is like saying that lack of little green men at craven park proves it is safe from alien attack

We defended like that genst Warrington to

Probably thinking he is getting enough crap off us supporters without adding fuel to the fire.

Agree 100%.

There are no quick fixes in a salary cap sport - even with unlimited money.

Looks like they were scared s***less.
(Sorry couldn`t resist,my pain is easing.)

Ermm what ??

All nail Sandracock ?

I'm afraid if we don't win in April which is looking pretty likely with our paper think injury ridden squad sandercock will be gone, I don't blame him but sumet will give and I'm afraid it cud be him

At the risk of sounding like a "short term fix" kinda bloke, if anyone thinks today is acceptable under any circumstances, then they need their heads examining.

As I said on another thread, a win against a poor Hull side merely papers over the cracks for a coach so far out of his depth.

Totally agree with you Stan. That was beyond woeful. And on radio,Sandercock didn`t even seem bothered!

Crikey Stan, you really know your stuff. I'd suggest you could write an excellent thesis given the depth of your understanding, but there's no need when you articulate all the key points in concise and eloquent fashion. A question. What's the opposite of crack-papering? I'd suggest it was in evidence twice today, once at Craven Park (or 18 times), once at Belle Vue where I had the great pleasure of standing directly behind Tickle's lovely buns as prepared for yet another conversion and his shorts material strained a bit. Thoughts?

As I said:

It was e the first time.

But true

Thing is stan like To give benefit of the doubt how can we be ok one week and dire the next week god knows what is going on at the club at the minute

Can you afford to sack him?

Don't wanna sack him just a bad day at the office I'm sure

Dont get me wrong 2pts is 2pts but if you think you was ok against us your way off , we was the worsed ive seen in years on friday.

Dont watch much rugby do you

Why thank you m'dear. My thesis days are over, don't want to sound like an acedemic/mad scientist.

Opposite of crack papering? Hmmm, not sure I'm sure of an appropriate analogy. There was certainly no crack coverage at Rovers today, our shortcomings were routinely exposed by a brilliant attacking team. I found it ironic that fans who were singing "we can see you sneaking out" on Friday were leaving by their hundreds with 15 mins+ left today.

All rosey in the Gentle garden now then?

6 months remaining on probably the lowest coaching contract in SL? A bucket collection would probably clear up the outstanding balance.
