| Castleford away last year, Toulouse away last year, the Grand Final, sang our hearts out just like the old Thrum Hall days, what was the difference? For any of the younger posters on here Thrum Hall was electric and we had a greater variety of songs, it was an immense atmosphere thats never been replicated at the Shay.
Figure it out yourself, cos i sure aint gonna sing how much i love them when they are waving defenders through and spilling the ball. But if they are giving it their all, Ill be there, if they need a lift ill be there, Ive seen nothing lately to inspire me though.

More rubbish from you. Just because you happen to agree with TF, Col and Little rich does not make it the right view. But then again, my view that Calland cant take the club further anymore, is not the right view. Its all a matter of opinion. Instead of just saying Calland should stay try and put forward your reasons like I and others have done why he should.

While i think Littlerich and Tony Fax's blind faith is something that all clubs need sometimes, they are clearly in a minority and are maybe too close to the fire to see whats burning, im sure inside they feel as annoyed as the rest of us, but maybe are known to people at the club and dont want to criticise for personal reasons, either way blind faith in something thats not working isn't maybe the answer, Man Utd and Alex Ferguson we are not, next round of SL licenses is slipping away from us, we need a better coach and have too many old blokes, and need more people down the Shay, I'm afraid to say thats not going to happen with Calland in charge. Any one who thinks it will is kidding themselves, but not the majority on here.

Erm....
I thought that the great TF had stopped watching SL, (wash my mouth out)? Plenty of pontificating about it in the close season and before then, with many a declamation that you would not be watching any SL games thereafter.

I can safely say, justthebasicfax, that no one whatsoever on rlfans.com has a clue who I am, apart from a crazed whino fan who introduced me to this place many a moon ago! As for blind faith and being in the minority ... maybe so, but the so called majority aren't always right. For the record, the only Fax coaches I have ever bagged because I thought they were inept were Peter Roe and Anthony Farrell, all the others I thought had something about them. Weaknesses of course, but still capable coaches (Yep, even TA). But we all have our different views eh? Go ahead, hound Calland out, but it will be a mistake, as no doubt we'll be having this same tiresome debate in a couple of years time about the next poor sod who has taken on this poisoned chalice.

More rubbish? It's my first post on the subject!
And just because you [idon't[/i happen to agree with them, it doesn't make yours the right view either.

| Without knowing the facts how can fans make the 'assumption' its all MCs fault!!!
-Is it Mr Hall?
- is it player upset from new signings effecting group dynamics, these things are for the coach to sort but even the best need time to do this?
- is it just massive bad luck?
- is it just how the fixtures have fallen against massively on form teams whilst we are still finding our feet?
To openly boo and criticise MC without knowing the facts (the BODs will know) is extremely naive and foolish, this lesson should have been learnt when TG left the club!

So our fans sing when we are in a grand final, playing a super league team or are on holiday? Exactly my point, other teams fans sing every week and have a great atmosphere both home and away. All i'm saying is we clearly don't have that and its a shame
