Watto

I would hope all team selections are now based on fitness, previous performance and specific requirements rather than as of old on who gets on with whom.

I like Watson and think he is a good coach but he does appear to be a little bloody minded and one dimensional, our 'move' has been sussed by all and sundry and a plan B has not been found which must lie directly at the feet of the head coach, we all know if Sheens were still at the club different plays would have been developed during the season.

Think on needs to learn more coaching flexibility which would come from having someone with more experience within the set up, someone else has mentioned Kear who for me would have been ideal (Welsh connections).

I personally think Watson is lucky the team performed so well early season or his position would be under review buy an owner with an itchy trigger finger.

Junior injured according to a get well message on Twitter

Must mean he's injured then...
So I hear... He's fit. And not happy he's not playing. Dobson is fit. Of course that could be rubbish just as much as someone saying get well on twitter, but I've heard this from a fair few people

Something's not right

You may well be right, I really hope not.

So frustrating it's all going wrong after such a good season. It's how you finish the season that gets remembered, not how you start. The Widnes comparison has been mentioned many times and I've thought it's rubbish we're far better than that, but now I'm worried

To be fair I agree with signing players up when they are playing well, what's the alternative? Let them go elsewhere? It's the coaches job to motivate.
I really like watto, but something has gone wrong since wire away. Not sure if it's the players not agreeing with how he has tried to stop the rot, or not not being able to come out with anything but the plan a, or him being stubborn. I don't know, and I don't really care, I just want it sorting.

Got a feeling his days are numbered sadly. We know Marwan isn't the sentimental type to keep Watson on because he's a 'Salford lad'. He's gotten us far this year there's no doubt about that but coming into the end of the season and being in these 'big games' his game plan doesn't have seem to have worked out well. From Koppy's wife on twitter she made it clear that five of the team had been dropped with how bad we're going seems to signal something is up. I really don't want to see Watson go and do believe we should give him more time as he's still inexperineced but i'd rather see a new coach come in in the off season and have a full pre season then sacking him 4 games in. All this seems over reactionary and maybe ot is as we've still got 4 games left but in all honestly i don't think Watson has.
