Was interested in seeing more recent data - missing 08+09 though, however.
Something odd at the bottom with the wins ( re saints) but this is what the table said - anyway, gives a clear insight into what we already know.
Gives a good idea of where we are at though. With the list we have had, definitely under achievers.

I can still see Bill kicking the winning goal in a Showdown, then pointing to Kenny in the box.... 'that's for you Ken'....
Do ya think!Maybe it was a bit of a piss take....
Do ya think!
How well would you perform if your boss was publicly, personally and constantly taking the piss out of you at work?
Losing Billy and Howard is the last straw for this moron coach, if losing Wingard and Polec wasn't bad enough.
GWS and GC don't even cover the full ten years. Unfair to lump them in as starting clubs anyway. 11 from 16 of those on any sort of fair field for comparisons. Top of his game though.Was interested in seeing more recent data - missing 08+09 though, however.

One of Marshall, Ladhams, Dixon, Hayes or Lycett.Question now is who’s it going to be next?
First time Dittmar challenged him on radio he turned into a blubbering mess answering questions with questions. Related to his selections. When the heat dial gets turned up, true leaders thrive. Average leaders display what Ken displays, incoherent anecdotes. His press conferences will start to be very uncomfortable.Let's hope so. I can't believe how softly Ken has been treated over the journey, it's like "oh he's such a good ol' country bloke, let's make every lame excuse under the sun for him, mustn't pressure him with anything resembling accountability". He should have been getting hammered for years over his lack of results.
Ahh. So he's a stand up philosopher then?I don't trust Hinkley, he says one thing then does another, his body language when interviewed is nothing short looking like a total bullshit artist.

if you were a big CHF and your coach nicknamed you andre the giant / the big show etc. wouldn't that be positive? maybe it was a pisstake
Go back a couple of years and if we were told that Wingard, Polec, Howard, Frampton and to a lesser degree Pitard would all be traded out of the club, I would have said yeah sure campaigner.
This bloke needs to get the hell away from our club.
