IMO if i had the choice i honestly would not have signed any of our current forwards Prop or second row for this season not one of them is good enough imo.

We have lost 2 fantastic Athletic props at this level in Siad and Moloney and weve replaced them with Chandler who imo has good potential and Gannon its just not good enough.

Barlow has been poor this season hes on a big contract and i think we have let our hearts rule our heads on that one.

theres no-one there to put in the hard yards like Wrench and larder did last few seasons.

would maybe like to see Nash there at second row but i have been told this morning he didnt come back to training untill after pre-season had finished has put no hard yards in as of yet and is over a stone over weight.

Weve been too sentimental in our signings trying to give old boys one last swansong Gannon clayton frank holly jones to an extent smith barlow haley all not good enough.

Retain Fieldhouse ,greenwood, goddard, nash(if he can get fit), Patto, Big rob, maybe white, bannister, Black, Penky and bob and even yound chandler, maka and ostick rest can fck off.

get in a decent 6 ,13 and a couple of second rowers and props never happen at this stage of the season with the cap but this should have been looked at in preseason so frigged off atm

So, when things go well it's the players that did it. When things go bad it's the coach. Right - gotcha.

This forum is getting more like a cheap tabloid by the minute. People just can't wait to be vindicated over Calland. Many bagged him last year and he (and the players) delivered a trophy and some egg on faces of many a poster on here. Now it's payback time I guess.

Let's get a new coach. Someone nice. Tony Anderson was a nice lad. Let's get him back.

Kinda shot yaself in the foot there didnt ya!



Facts are facts, we have been to two grand finals, does it matter we won with 20 seconds to go, we won! Only fax fans could pour cold water on their own championship winning club!

Fact is we are bottom of the league now and we do need to improve our performances in order to win games, Saying its time for our most sucsesfull coach in years to go is just a tad over reactional dont ya think!

Lets get behind our Championship winning club, not take every opportunity to have a go!

Petty bickering aside the attutide of some players reminds me of when we lost a t Barrow in '84 and Ken Roberts got sacked ( i think). So maybe it is time for a change, I believe Calland has struggled to get consistency but maybe you'll never get that with a team that plays the type of rugby we do. Who knows, but what I do know is - We have one point so far this season and that is poor.

Yes agreed, and we need to work with what we have got to get things right, change change change is not the right thing to do, what u might end up with could be far far worse, a new coach would want to change everthing, then we would get the bull about rebuidling and time to settle.

Keep faith Fax fans, its a marathon not a sprint!

Ok we won somat, and ok we were in the do-do before Martin Hall took on the job. But, have we really progressed as much as we should have?
The one high point for me was the night at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, ok and the 3 days in Toulouse where my urine turned to blood for 3 days afterwards


Thanks to Matt Calland for coaching this side, thanks very much, hes done a fair job. That doesn't change my opinion that i would like a better coach who has more experience and i would like us to be more consistent, it would also be really marvellous if we could make the next 3 years count by becoming organised, consistent, balanced and clear out some of the players and build a fresh young side, I still think were too ragged and poorly coached, regardless of whether we have the ability to turn any side over on any given day. This isn't about bagging Matt because were having 'another' poor run, this is about people wanting the club to progress to the 'next' level, maybe we have gone as far as we can with present imcumbants.
