Fate sealed when Luke goes off and the rookie who has never played that position gets tossed in there when Leuluai can play that position easily

If he made the call to switch LoLo and Fusi mid game then that's another nail in the coffin

I'm sure some people thought we were death riding him, wishing ill on him. That was never the case. He's just time and again been proven to be completely inept.

2.75 seasons, win record of 43 or something shit, no finals matches, just as bad as McClennan and Elliott before him.

Just stupid is Cappys changes. Tui did look good at pivot but it was just a mess.

Nah, I reckon he will be fine. Give him the first 6 games next year. We need a scapegoat to blame anyway, if we get a new high profile coach and we keep losing anyway then we won't know what to do.

If we keep loosing and we had a new high profile coach for 2017 (assuming any coach with a profile wants to come here) the problem lies firmly with the players if you ask me, everything else has been blamed so it doesn't leave anything else.
If we did have a hard nosed NRL coach you would expect sackings and players dropped never to be seen again and a few handy mid year buys.
I'm starting to think Mark Graham was on to something when he said he wasn't after the best player in a position but a player with a desire to win at all costs.

Yeah I'm not expecting an announcement until after the last round. No point really.

And as Warriors coach Mark Grahem expected the same from his players which might have been his downfall, he had a real eye for League talent as well

Not serious, right? It's not as simple as the first 6 games. It's the whole pre-season as well. Look how crap we were in round one, and until the first bye. You give him 6 games you risk another season down the toilet, then someone else has to clear up the shit.

There's no way in the wide world McFail survives. They'd replace him with Paul Langmack if they had to. His job is untenable.

If you are going to sack him, sack him as soon as the full time whistle blows next weekend. Otherwise, don't bother.

His job was unteneble in about round 10 or so. Remember? We were saying it here but he got kept on for want of a serious replacement. As it happened he earnt a reprieve anyway, we started playing well. We even had a thread called 'Credit where credit is due'.

It was fools gold.

Nah sacking him mid season would've acheived nothing, and just made the club a less attractive proposition for other coaches. The only time you do that is when a coach clearly loses the playing group (ie Bluey). I expect he'll get the boot within a week of the Parra game though. Even if it's just Morgan promoted to head coach, though I'd hope for a bigger name.

There must be more going on here, surely.

McFail isn't very good tactically, agree, but even that doesn't excuse the limp performances we throw up 80% of the time with half the players clearly not trying. Some of the accountability has to start falling on players, as much as McDud has to go we surely have to start putting guys like Matulino on notice.

Culture is f**ked top to bottom, but in theory they have a squad to challenge so won't make wholesale changes

Need a serious coach with a track record, then if we get same shit perhaps the wholesale changes can happen
