Constant changes to the team have had to be done through injury & form, also to find the best combinations with the players we've got, which props compliment eachother etc..also why shouldn't radders tell the truth on his players under performing? It's what we all post about on the forums...& let's face it the players will either sulk & sit in the stands or address the problems & starts to perform as they should.

so, when we win it's because Radders is great, when we lose it's down to the players?



he is in over his head

I don't know who they are and I'm not going to specifically point the finger at individuals. All I know is we've gone through coach after coach and the problem remains. For me, that means it must be the players.

It's down to both..without been disrespectful to widnes we had a decent enough team out to beat them by a 20 point margin..a coach can only hand the shirts out he can't play in them.

as a manager I take responsibility for the failings of any of my team, Radford should do the same

We had 4 pre-season games for that, or are they just a fun afternoon out for the players and coaches?



It's getting Agaresque with the misuse of preseason games, leaving a sub unused warming his ar$e on the bench. What next? "For 's sake (insert name here). Get him off" caught on camera at a TV game?

what so 4 games is enough to give game time to 30 odd players & the 19s, to find out our best squad & having them gelled to hit the ground running on day 1 of the season?

Seeming to have a firm grasp of what our problems are, but being unable to rectify them?

it's more than enough he's just a crap coach

That might have been less of a challenge if he'd played the first team squad for any length of time in any of the pre-season games.

What a new coach tends to do is get an idea in his head of who his best team is. He then gives that team the first 40 in at least two of the pre season games. He then uses the 2nd halfs to get ideas of how the other players are performing and also giving them a chance to stake a claim for a starting spot.

Radford however had the benefit of seeing and working with the majority of the squad first hand all last season.



It is also hard for players to gel (especially halfbacks) if they are not given a good run of games.



Still it seems we are not much further on from "us does well in training".

they are getting game time now & most are going through the motions...he's naming them & trust me people think he's there mates but if he has to swing the axe he will...he knows this coaching job could last 6 months or 6 years..but he will do what no other coach as dared to do..drop household names in our squad. Then that's upto them to knock his door down with the right attitude or move clubs..this is unfair to say he should go after a small amount of games..with a squad he's inherited with no class pivots,a few risky signings,& the loss of 1 of the best British wingers in the game.
