Quote Jake the Peg="Jake the Peg"Surely today's result must point to a contract extension for sandy? Take away the emotion of your pummelling by wigan and you've hot more points than you'd have expected by now surely? More than 50% win ratio, beating bigger clubs in wire, Hull and saints, convincing wins against widnes and london with only really the salford game being the blot on the copy book. If the wigan score had of been kept below 50 then I reckon he'd be sitting pretty by now. Good performances in your next 2 games must surely lead to his contract being extended?'"
In the equivalent games last season Rovers accumulated 11 points, this time 12.
We won at Huddersfield last year so if we don't do it again next week (and I think you said we won't) then we'll be a point worse off than last year from the same fixtures. A point worse off than last years 10th placed team.
Unfortunately with people like you it is hard to tell if you are making a serious point or just making mischief in the light of your own unachieving team. Giving you the benefit of the doubt I'll assume the former and say if results are the only criteria then surely the jury is still out for Sandercock.
But all that stuff misses the point completely.
Sandercock was appointed with a brief of identifying, developing and nurturing young British players, slowly changing Rovers from an overseas heavy squad (necessary and inevitable in the past but ultimately unsustainable) to a predominantly British self sustaining Super League force.
Sandercock is a brilliant one on one coach, workaholic obsessive, awkwardly adapting to the role of the public face of Hull Kingston Rovers. Up to me I'd extend his contract here and now because I think he is planting the seeds of growth whilst personally developing himself.
Even so, results don't back up his case at this time. Whatever you say we are slightly better/worse than last year depending what happens at Huddersfield.
