Re: Arm Chair Coach Time - Keep or Release?

I wouldn't say it was a bad season. A performance in the Champions League that had all Europe sitting up ( narrowly beaten in a game against the eventual winners ! ) 2nd of 10 in the league.( at one point in that last match we were winning the league ) Semi of the Cup , with a very dodgy ref decisio...

Re: Player signings thread - Other teams...

I think the phrase was , “ He is the best coach Steelers have ever had by a country mile. “ The results and style of play went rapidly downhill after that.

Re: Petgrave RELEASED from bail conditions. No charges

Re: Arm Chair Coach Time - Keep or Release?

I agree with Doom. Wholesale changes carry big risks and although many of us were disappointed in the finish to the season , remember we played superbly in Europe and narrowly missed out on all 3 trophies.

Re: Arm Chair Coach Time - Keep or Release?

I would keep Diffley and Watling personally. Not sure we will find better out there and their performances against the Champions League teams and last year show that for me they have the required class and experience. Just my opinion but I have seen just about every game this season.

Re: The PlayOff Weekend BIG thread

I think the eihl are doing webcasts of each game. Not seen or heard anything by Premier Sports who broadcast it last year.

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Clan: Playoff Q/Final - Sunday 13th April 4pm
