I think the question is about Mr Skivingtons ability at this time, not get rid of him. I would stick with him and hope he gets the best out of the team. Hopefully he will have a good de-brief with the lads on a long bus journey home.

Exactly my point. FWIW I think he could do with some help. Either a DOR or more experienced Head Coach in an advisory role. I’ve actually said elsewhere I’m not calling for his head, nor expect to see it. I agree it would be of little benefit.

I appreciate the colour this quest has but I ask it as a genuine question to try to gain some perspective. I voted ‘No’ by the way.

For me Evans looks a bit lost running when he should kick, passing bad ball on etc however biggest problem is at 9 but given Heinz is not available it is what it is & we have to find a way to manage.
I would actually play pragmatically put Ttees to 10 & maybe Evans at 12 drop Atkinson who seems to think he has to do what Cips used to do.

Given the current financial situation the appointment was not unexpected. Whilst as a supporter I clearly wish him well, if we we were hiring a coach taking his first top job, my view hasn't changed. We should have gone for Sanderson.
