Kilshaw gone

[Mark]

Club just announced they have parted ways with KIlshaw 

[coolie]

No surprise really

Draws a line under his s.hi.thousery

In the changing room

 

[Sailaway]

Swinton have exited the last chance saloon and arrived in limbo. No coach and, if the chat proves correct, many of the current squad leaving. A lot of work required to get a competitive team together for League 1.

[Crown Flatter]

Join us and Whitehaven in League 1 once again (perhaps, but who knows for sure?). How did you slide so much? You put 50 past us at your place, nearly lost it in the reverse fixture, but notable victories by beating Featherstone TWICE and showed Toulouse the way home in France. Where did it go wrong?

Now I understand that 14 of your players are leaving, one more than our departures, but we did finish bottom.

[wayner]

Yes how did it all go wrong - for me it all went wrong when Patton went to Featherstone as he marshalled the team and managed the game, since his departure the team lost its consistency and weren't able to see games out.

Anyway - it will be tough next year for both our teams next year but I always enjoy visiting Dewsbury

our own making, we lost to Whitehaven twice after being 14-0 up, lost to York after being about 22 up with 20 mins left and even in the play off we were 10-0 up with 2 minutes till half time and threw out a stupid inteception as we have no idea of game management

But it will all change next season

Even the season before we lost to Gateshead twice, we can't blame Kilshaw for that, it seems some of the players could raise their game against the big clubs where we were underdogs but not when we are favourites, you are right Wayne, should be interesting to see if there is any change next season or whether is the culture at the club 

[Sailaway]

Finance has to be a reason for putting together a squad that was too thin on real power and talent. The ex coach chose to include players that were a gamble and some were let go quite early in the season. Relying on dual reg is always risky especially when the partner team is hit by injuries as Saints were this season. There was no evident leader on the pitch after Patton left. Some good individuals don't necessarily make a good team. Money will continue to be a problem for teams like Swinton.

Ian Watson?

[wayner]

Would be a good option but he left last time mid season to take up a SL coaching job

I dont think we could afford him Kenny, and I dont think he would drop down to our division. Don't get me wrong, I would love him back 

 

I feel we need a DOR, our board dont have that Rugby experience, that could be perfect for Watto in the short term to get us reorganised 

[wayner]

Could be someone from the amateur ranks as Coleman came up that way - not sure what a DOR actually does other than add another layer of management ?
