he just isn't a leader which, at times like these is what we need the most!jodie clark posted:im not blaming him either i think its time the team to stand up and be counted insted of playing like they are a walk overNicola#Warriors posted:i thought after last season noble would have took it off him then but surely after performances like these he can't be captain next year!jodie clark posted:
its an apsolute farce
what on earth are they thinking
we might aswell not have a captian with the way o'loghlin acts
his standard of rugby has dropped since he was given the responsibility
please nobby dont give him the captancy again :eusa10: :eusa10: :eusa10:
not totally blaming him though there's 16 other men playing with him, well i say playing, but really i don't think you can call it that
but o'loughlin shoul when the opposition score a try that steamed from a dia attempt at defence or a mistake then he should stand them in a circle and tell the to get there fingers out but he doesnt he stands there with his head down and leaves barrett to it
IMO that is pathetic

Anyone would be better than Sean " I feel like dancing" O'Loughlin.
Move Lulu to hooker with mcilorum
Bring Back Dobby

Hock - Local lad full of passion Average at best. Liablility and does not perform enough times in a season.
Higham - Over the hill send him back over the hill
Lockers- Hes a good player but is no world beater
Verycrappy - Give us the money back plz.

Re: Chris Ashton and other...
In denfece of the players it has got to be said that they have been let down by the club. The club is a continuing disaster area.
For the first time in years they have been relatively injury free this year and have fought tooth and nail to consolidate their fourth position in SL. They then give 3 sterling performances against the teams above that achieve 4 priceless points and really have the teams above them looking over their shoulders.
They were given reassurances, as were we all, that the club had nothing to fear by the investigation into the salary cap. Then came the 4 point deduction that could have been sorted 3 weeks before the semi - but no we (the club) had to defer matters until the semi final week and in this week we drop to 9th position in the league.
Mentally the players must be shattered. This whole sorry saga is not of their doing. They may justly feel that the whole RL world is against them. If they could have been in contention for some honours they may have been able to achieve some sort of seige mentality that may suffice for this season.
I fear it is now too late.

Yes thats a big factor in the last 2 weeks. We do need some new players but we also need people who will run the club in a professional manner.Doveoverdave posted:

Re: Chris Ashton
Just got back. Our players have no pride, passion or backbone. In fact they are all a bunch of spineless muppets. The under 21s were fantastic, and could teach the first team a trick or too

Re: Chris Ashton and other...
All the above is true but the club needs to draw a line and look at the underlying problems. At least when we spent a fortune on players they bloody performed. This shower of sh£&e displayed over the last 2 games is unaceptable.thegimble posted:Yes thats a big factor in the last 2 weeks.

we always have out motm and with the exception of a couple the rest of the team are abysmal. We cannot carry on in this vein. Lets get Mr Edwards down in a consultanty role in the club union off season and see where this goes.
There is no passion no fight and a general acceptance that if you have a dire game it doesnt matter there is always next week, the week after and so on.
I dont claim to know whats said behind closed doors but whatever is being said is clearly not enough.
As a nobby fan i am surprised by this but we need to change the status quo get a reaction out of the players instead of nonsense in the press about our intentions.
Re: Chris Ashton
What a waste of time... If we diddnt play Richards at FB It could have been worse

The thing is that we have the most likely candidate in SL in Trent but the club are too scared to admit they made a mistake and rectify it.mario posted:He's not FAZ and there isn't a player in superleague that could do what faz did with the team.medlocke posted:WRONG Gimble, FAZ used to do it, why can't this curly haired Buffoon be a man and stick a rocket up their arsesthegimble posted: Bullshit they are all responsible
