Shocking from start to finish this season the lack of attack is a desperate worry as Smith isn’t up to it,going to be another long season I fear

Thank God that's the end of Lam, but as Brian Carney said, it looks like a promotion from within, if so how will anything change?
He offloaded almost every run?

More than it is now
But realistically what to?
Guess we’ll never know as I can’t see it happening anytime soon, the last time we played good rugby with good signings was 2011 but was 10 years ago so a bit to far away to use it as a yard stick
What a load of cods wallop. Rugby was not that bad under Wane, gritty defence backed up by length of the field tries and games could go to the last minutes.

Our attack on the line has been poor for years though.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Never said it wasn’t, try reading in future, I said the last time we played good rugby with good signings….

If we played great rugby and made a few good signings, what would our average attendance honestly be?

Put it this way. Do you think people will be queuing to renew season tickets after the season we've just witnessed? All excuses accepted we are a bad team, some truly dreadful players wearing first team shirts and an absolutely inexperienced coach/backroom mob behind whoever it will be and lack of quality on the way in

Thornley is what we have to "look forward" to??!!!

So we are relying on a junior player? No SL team would worry about us we are too slow. When did we last score a try from our own half?

cannot judge Peet when Lam is head coach can you? but for once i can't defend IL and KR the cost to the club is going to be more from continuing with Lam than if they had done the right thing earlier in the season.

not that Wane is the answer but we would have seen a reaction after half time if he had been in the dressing room and thats what we need a perfectionist who will say its not good enough do better.

not a " im happy with the completion rate".. you can have a completion rate of 100% but if you score nothing it means nothing.
Why is Wane not the answer?

When we signed George Burgess and had Hastings lined up along with French and then Bateman on the way back you could I think that made people enthusiastic but virtually none of these have worked out for one reason or another including injury.

Since then they have lost the plot. Unless the half back they sing is outstanding they are going to spend to the salary cap on a side no better than what we have now because two aussie forwards and Thornley and Miski aren’t going to do it.

How we can be as close to the cap as we are for next season already with the squad we have is just unbelievable.. Total mismanagement by IL and Rads.

Huddersfield away! Marshall kicked the ball from near enough on our own try line to chase it downfield to score after the halftime hooter went 😊
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

Fair comment but we use to score them for fun. Elsewhere, I said that Marshall was the only player who could do that. I cannot think of another back line slower to than ours. There is nothing wrong with our effort but we don’t have the class.
