I think most fans would echo the questions being asked. Levi leaving may have been late but we needed equal quality at 9, maybe Peats as a back up. O'Brien tries hard but is not a super league hooker.
I cannot fathom the lack of depth in the halves, it was obvious last year. Fages is a sick note, and Russell just solid.
I also agree that players are being paid well without performing.
Having heard Watson's interview there was no explanation for the appalling defence, you don't need brilliant halves to make sure you defend properly. Effort areas as most of the coaches talk about now.
I think they are not putting in the effort because he has turned on the team now things have turned bad. I could not believe the fact that he blamed the loss to Hull FC on young Halsall and that despite him playing really well in the two games prior he then dropped him , and replaced him with his mate, no pace Bibby. There were two tries last night that Bibby was directly responsible for but i didn't see him getting a mention. Then he blamed senior players ego's. He basically loves himself and is only interested in players who unquestioningly buy into his methods. Well your methods are crap and not working mate that's why the team are now turning against you. Anyone can coach 5 drives and a kick and stick it up your jumper when you are ahead.
He aggravates fans by making ridiculous excuses like 'other teams are playing us when they are in form' or 'we had 3 fullbacks on the pitch' (who's fault is it for recruiting 3 fullback's watson? if you include Golding it's 4) instead of fronting up and taking the blame himself.
