All those people who are bagging Rotherham need to stop being prats.
(1) We have a small squad of about 23 players who can realistically play top end NL1 At any one time he can select 17 players that means including injuries about six blokes who can hold their own in this league don't get picked. That is the reality of a team and happensat every club in the uk Aus and NZ. it may mean sice seeds lester Wright teare Rudd Mattinson Jacjson ect don't play but hey They get well paid for a part time commitment and the coach gets paid to make those decisons.
We (major contributors on this board) are almost without exception demanding a couple of quality signings to give the team a chance of topplingCas and Widnes in the crunch games. That means two more players competing fot 17 places and may mean Sice Rudd Teare Mattinson or Seeds Lester or Miller or Smith or someone else missing out and not playing in a big games. BUT we cant have it both ways if you want to improve the team some will miss out its up to the palyers who really want to be apart of the big games to perform....and Rotherham picks the team.
Rotherham is different to cullen as Mcormack was different to to them both. he has some better points and some not so good....but he has not achieved anything less than his predsessors. Mcormack was and is a good coach but he had a different set of players competing against a different set of oppositon. Cullen had a weaker team to improve in a diffeent erea.
Rotherham has some good players to work with but also some stiff competion and so far he is keeping us very much in the mix.
No coach has had Cas and Widnes going full out for promotio to compete with. When SM was in charge Cas were head and shoulders above us in the G/F .....they wouldn't get clsoe to the current Cas team....who cant buy a win of Widness ..Times do Change....
.We are not great but we are doing all right. as is Rotherham and the team.
good post mostly,however, you would have been better served not calling people prats. EVERYONE is entitled to an opinion and just because you dont agree with it does not make them prats.
to disect your first point about the size of our squad, rotherham stated at the start of the season that our squad was big enough and didnt need added to, he himself eluded to the fact that we have a squad of over 35 players who are capable of doing a job< what exactly that job is with some of them is subject to questioning>
As a team some of our players have hit the comfort zone where they know they wont be dropped no matter how badly they are or were playing.
you say that cas were head and shoulders above us in the GF and that they wouldnt get close to the current team, well i disagree, the cas of 2005 was a far better team than the cas of 2007 is.
A lot of rotherhams selections can be questioned, why play sice at full back? why put spencer in the centres? why jackson over seeds?
his gameplan<does he actually have one?> is virtually non exsistant
he has turned an attractive attacking team into a shambles on most occassions,
we have yet to show any signs of exciting rugby this season or any signs that we could possibly compete with cas and widnes, apart from the catalans game and the 2nd half against halifax we have just been going through the motions and when we came across a half decent team we got beat!
the reverand, big mac
Just cause you don't understand what's going on don't mean it don't make no sense
And just cause you don't like it, don't mean it ain't no good
