The lad as were outclassed ,second half they cruised with Monday in mind ,our lads were out on their feet.

No lack of effort but physically overwhelmed as we have been the last three games .
Lams not to blame get a grip .
The penalty count was emence and in weather like that we got found wanting but for christ sake nows the time to pull together we are what we are for whatever reason ,leave lam out of it ,its backs to the wall time show your support.
So it’s NOT Lams fault for a lack of attack and defence all season bar catalans? Whose fault is it? Continually blaming injuries, players leaving or tired after “Mission Impossible” from the 90s is quite boring now. Not an excuse for crap play and tactics.

He is soo far out of his depth he makes David Moyes at United look like Paisley
least ive had 1 smile today, cheers

Pretty hard to leave Lam out of it. He’s the coach!! It’s his job to get the best out of the players we have available and he isn’t doing that. He has ruined the defence and the attack we were promised is none existent. Injuries do play there part but we have been this bad for too long to keep blaming injuries. The players do not know what they are doing and that is down to the coach.

We should let Goulding and Peet have a go at the 1st team, they've got the youngsters playing a great brand of rugby with some solid defence.

Goulding doesn’t coach the youngsters, U19’s, anymore & Peet doesn't even work for us!
He left last year along with all the others & he wasn’t coaching in his last two years, he was head of youth development. 😊
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

The job is too big for Lam. As Edwards says we need an experienced rugby league coach. How can you appoint someone who has won only 3 games all season. And the way we are going relegation. On the back of his coaching tenure at Wigan can you imagine Lam getting a NRL coaching job when returns to Oz. Not a chance. If you compare today with the first match at Saints we have gone backwards. we also need KR to resign because his recruitment over the last 2 seasons has been a disgrace and it wont improve with him in post. Secondly, we need someone who can talk some sense into leulai and Lockers and tell them that they should retire. And then recruit some hard running forwards with a halfback and hooker. if IL appoints Lam there is a good chance that next season he will lose half his season ticket holders. Suggest lam sees the season out and then returns to Oz.

Difficult to argue with that. SOL should never have "gone round again" this season. He's clearly just hobbling around whenever he does play. Edwards has dodged a bullet.

IMO he has 5 games to save his position (one he was going to loose anyway but that's another debate)

Salford away, Catalans home, Cas and Wakey away. Then the biggie. Bang around with poor performances/losses and endless excuses then I think Lam will be stood down and Lockers made player coach
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36856

I still stand by that and I cannot see injuries as a sole excuse for him continuing as this looks a side devoid of more than just a few injured players - It's like watching John Dorahy all over again with professional players doing stuff even school kids would be embarrassed doing
He may not have that long! One of the stewards in the West Stand was saying that if Lam does not win a game over the Easter weekend he's on his way.

But it won’t and IL will back lam and say he needs time because he’s cheap
We have no idea how much Lam is being paid.
Wont be much though,IL not benevolent is he ?

the majority of players at lams disposal be they injured or fit are just average they are never going to turn into world beaters .a few sprinkled into a good team you can absorb and carry .and they would play with more confidence knowing there around experienced skilled players ,but all we are doing is basically playing our a team in the super league .i posted 3 games in the threat of relegation but this has been coming for a few yrs gradually chiselling away at the solid footings of the team and replacing with much weaker options .the threat of relegation is now a real possibility and to keep waiting for the big turnaround at the next game is never going to happen
