Wakefield got a sniff, started throwing the ball about a bit, realised if they upped the intensity a fraction, we wouldn't match it because as a team, we where not up for it, I reckon it's become a game plan for other teams, start slowly, let us think it's a stroll in the park, then booooooooom , smash and grab haha especially the teams we are expected to beat! On serious note, can we just get somebody doesn't matter if radford stays or not, but just someone who can string a sentence together before the match and at half time, somebody who actually talks a bit of sense! I'd love to be a fly on the wall in our changing room, I bet it's cringe worthy

I don't think Radford is the right man for the job, but you have to ask why coach after coach has the same problems. There is more wrong than just an inexperienced head coach.

Just thought I'd go back to the beginning of the thread and see where it all started, I agree with this, but when was our last top quality proven head coach ? Probably kear if you could call him that, he did win the challenge cup, maybe we need a head coach that as actually won something as an head coach! Easy said then done I guess, apologies if this as already been covered in the last 20 or whatever pages

I am not in or out the Radford camp. But I think we need stability with the team and coaching staff .We do have a young squad our Pivots are all in their early twenties .I like every one else HATE [Shouting ] getting beat by any one never mind the lower teams .Which I think is where we are or a mid table team at best .But lets give it or them time . No big dramas we are never going to win the grand final this or next year. But I will be there on Friday

The number of penalties is largely irrelevant, it's where they occurred on the field. Plus one of our tries came from a midfield bust on half way, another from two consecutive penalties of which the first was in our own half iirc.
