As much as it pains me to say, Hull were excellent today and a tad unlucky not to win. But saying that Saints were awful in patches and Wilkin is a liability for them.
Radford seems to have them playing at 110% and I do feel a tad envious that he gets that from his team. Sheens protects the players way too much and an booty kicking wouldn’t go amiss after a bad performance personally, Radford doesn’t pull any punches.
Peacock isn’t liked by many at Rovers that I know, (fans that is). I can’t stand the bloke. But he is living off his reputation as a player. That’ll only take him so far.
Watershed season for him with us I feel, his failure at signing decent players in the near future might (hope) has his bags packed for him. After all does he really give a damn about rovers like Motu Tony did about F.C.
Watershed season for the club as a whole.
My guess is that the success Peacock enjoyed throughout his playing career meant that his ideas on what you need to do to get it weren’t often challenged in a profound way.
I suspect Radford learned more from being involved in several seasons of mediocrity at Hull than he did winning trophies with Peacock at Bradford. You learn from failure, whereas success will tend to reinforce your preconceptions.
So what we really need is someone who has failed a lot!
In all seriousness, that Sheens can draw on lessons learned coaching struggling teams, as well as winning Premierships and a World Cup, is a cause for hope, imo.
