Just a thought, weve seen how when Ellis takes to the field we rarely suffer the drubbings, does he not allow his team mates to slack off, or have a crap attitude?

And im wondering if Ellis was head coach would the players dare put in performances like the Huddersfield one?

If there was anything he could do about it, I’m positive he would have done it.

Not the ones who are not good enough anymore, like Mini.

But what today shows is that performances like last week and the Warrington game are entirely down to attitude, we clearly have the ability to match it with anyone. Radford has to be accountable for that. Does it not bother you that he doesn't have any idea what to do about it?

I think he made a massive mistake when he said he doesn't know what to do about it. It's so clear that the team are targeting certain games this season & he can't come out and say that.

Yet Radford is given no credit for getting the team right mentally to bounce back from the weekend and despatch the current cup holders with ease. If he's accountable for our attitude on Saturday then he's equally accountable for it tonight.

I do think radders is to honest at times , maybe doesn’t do himself no favours at times but I like to see it . Maybe he should just sidestep some questions like a lot of coaches do .

Yes he does deserve some credit. But in professional sport, the minimum you should always expect is effort. Getting it right tonight doesn't excuse last week.

Tonight was when it mattered, last weeks defeat did no damage to us, if we'd have lost tonight, then half of our seasons objectives would be over.

The double is still well and truly on.
