Replacing the coach means ANOTHER season in transiton. ANOTHER coach who'll spend to get "his own team".

A decent coach should be able to get enthusiasm and commitment from ANY bunch of players.

Radford is out of his depth. Losing to Salford, Wakefield and Widnes is beyond belief for a team that's was in the CC final less than a year ago. That press conference probably did as much to kill supporters interest as the defeat. He spoke like a dead man walking and admitted he had no answers. Well, if you have no answers, don't steal a living and go back to your pubs.

Cooke is not an option. Yet.

I honestly believe that if Radford were to go then he would be replaced with Paul Cooke.

or Andy Last.

He won't go yet but the worry for him must be that everyone is citing the fact that little has changed at all as far as the attitude and enthusiasm for these games goes.

Exactly right Wilf, we've already had two performances (maybe even the cup game) the likes of which Radford said we wouldn't see under him. When he's then on the radio saying he doesn't know how to fix it, it becomes a worry.

In response to Radders blaming the crowd I would say this:

We are not the coach who selects those players and makes them play those tactics. We are not the coaching staff who train those players. We are not the players who lost a game they were winning 16-0 and shipped 23 unanswered points. If you want to blame anyone there are plenty of people to blame other than us. All we are are the poor hapless saps that put our money into the club we love year in and year out only to be let down time and time again. You want passion and commitment from us 80 minutes every week? Give us a team that play with passion and commitment for 80 minutes every week.

100%agree with you doc.

Tony Smith anyone.....Warrington struggling worse than us and have recruited poorly and he has a habit of getting fed up at clubs...maybe he fancies a new challenge.

Either Tony or Brian would get my vote.

It is time for a total clear-out of all the coaching team, get rid of the apathy at the club.

I'd put Last back in charge of youth as he has done a bloody good job with them and has seen a lot come through......who are the other coaches...Radford and LAst are 1st team...who is u-19 and 16 coach
