that again comes back to what gary was asking about viewing figures for the coach/players. Whereas you may get a few snippets from the coach to pick over, generally from players you'll get stock answers, toeing the party line and ending with "putting it right this weekend".

or unless your names Kevin Penny then you get dropped [iduring [/ione game.

No wonder we play like we do with JL leading us. No passion, no inspiration, no enthusiasm. Watched him for several weeks now on his interviews and nothing changes.

The guys are probably sitting there waiting for him to give direction and show some enthusiasm.



And he also said he doesnt drop players after one poor game. so why drop KP????



We need a coach with passion.

The atmosphere in that room didn`t half come across as depressing, James Lowes doesn`t look as laid back now as he first portrayed when he first started doing these interviews with Gary a while ago, the "I`m a regular sort of guy that likes a laugh and a joke" seems to have long gone and has been replaced with a stare or its nothing to do with you attitude if i don`t like your questions.



Fair play to Gary with his straight to the point questions, it makes a refreshing change to hear someone being so direct.

just the same as when he was playing then

Blimey if looks could kill you would be a dead man Gary...



The jokers mask has well and truly slipped from JL's face!

i was all for giving him a chance when it became clear we couldn't get the coach we wanted but it is becoming clearer that he is not up to the job,his attitude is questionable,his tactics predictable and he looks like nooky bear,that alone is enough to say bye bye.

top quality players(and we have some)need top quality coaching,it's the missing part of the jigsaw everyone can see except for the decision makers at the club.

we will NOT win anything until this is addressed.

International class and world class players throughout the team. Most pundits seem to say so and all but the most blinkered oppositon fans think so. We have gone from an average coach who wasn't quite good enough to a first class numpty who I doubt would even be good enough in the National Leagues, and understandabley we have gone backwards.



My wife is always taking the mick of my 'you get what you pay for' attitude, and it is easy for me to say this, it's not my money, but the cheque book needs to come out and if necessary there needs to be plenty of 0's on it!.

If money is no object, I would be tempted to go for Shaun Edwards.

Spot on , I am also being over critical but I think that he should wear a suit at the match. It looks professional and gives the right impression to his squad and the fans from the minute go.All this siege mentality and we dont care about what the fans say/want is really wearing thin with me.With all Cullens failings at least I knew we were going to watch some entertaining rugby , not so with this new set up.

It's not money standing in the way of that, it's him wanting to be near his son. And him being tied to a few contracts in RU.
