I've just listened to his post match interview- The irony is, he points the finger at the lack of game management yet beginning of the season he says "I don't need a 7" BUT what does a 7 (natural scrum half) do?? Manages a team around the park!!



I have no issue with Addy because he tries his best out of his preferred position, but To hear Jimmy suggest the fans are annoyed because we expect the likes of Batley to just simply lay down for us is ridiculous! He clearly misses the point that the fact Jimmy himself is also pointing out the problems we can all see - but fails to come up with any answers!!



And that top 4 bulle no reward for finishing at the top is further madness! So much so that it really makes me question if he actually believes his own rubbish or he is just saying it for another benefit.



I'm not a fan of sacking coaches but I'm certainly becoming less of a Jimmy fan at the moment.

Never heard of Leigh and Batley ??????

Try to get out more

I wouldn't even know which direction to set off in.

Aww bless. So you dont do away games

That penalty goal that supposedly never was, isn't conclusive on TV even trying the stop start it looks close to being inside the post, so it could look as if it missed from some angles if standing to the left of the posts from behind. None the Bulls players have said it was a wrong call by the Linesmen have they?

Jimmy I thought talked some sense for a change and though his thinking that whether you finish first or fourth is a bit contentious, he was part of the Bulls that started poorly finished 3rd then went on to win the 2005 GF, so he feels it can be done and also is taking pressure off the Team by not focusing solely on finishing 1st.

He does do top notch wind-ups

The penalty goal is a load of irrelevant balls, they have dwarf posts, the kick sailed a mile over them, the ref and touchies were happy it was legal so not even close to an issue.



What is an issue is when fans have become so downgraded that their issue with not beating Batley (no disrespect etc) is about whether a marginal kick was in, and not at the fact that we were unable to comfortably go on to beat a team like Batley in the first place. Yes I know it ain't the playoffs yet and no we don't want to peak too soon, but privately Lowes knows as well as we do that if we are to have any chance at all against SL teams then we need to look like a team a couple of classes above the likes of Batley. We didn't, we're not, and we NEED A FSCKING SCRUM HALF or we're done.

Steady on F A your starting to sound like M E, don't let the incessant frustration get to you!

⬆ What he said!!

There are coaches out there with a better tactical understanding of the game and game and man management. Lowes is lacking in those areas as well as lacking an ability to handle pressure or things not going his way

If it doesn't matter finishing 1st of 4th why am I bothering to spend the time and money turning up each week Mr Lowes? For the worlds longest preseason??? Its that kind of logic coupled with the current structure that will kill us if we stay in this league with the current structure. Fans wont stay with it in enough numbers for enough time to keep us full time.



Whilst I said at the time I wasn't convinced by appointing Jimmy, and hes done nothing yet to change my mind (getting to the mpg was, imho, the absolute minimum requirement last year and his squad management hamstrung us before a ball was kicked in that game)

I don't think its the right time to think about sacking Jimmy, we are unbeaten and the squad is better than last year, but Jimmy and Ferris need to get us a 7 in before the 8's. As I and others have been banging on about since last summer, and none of this waiting for the 8's cr@p. We need an actual 7 in early enough to get into the groove and comfortable with the combinations required, which would also help us to finish games like sunday and secure the top 1 or 2 position that does make a difference when the season starts.



If we don't go up this season Jimmy will need to be let go as we cant sustain FT in this league for too long.

Top 4 is important, but top 2 gives you an additional home game - so a clear benefit there

I also think human nature is to want to finish top - and if not you shouldn't be involved in competitive (I sulk if I lose at Ludo)

Then there's the confidence and momentum thing of finishing top and taking that into the 8's







Agreed, we need to stick with him now for the season - I'm sure we'll get better.



Also agree we need a 7 and I think Jimmy knows that too - he's not going to publicly say so though is he as suggested in a previous post
