For those bemoaning the disruption, we have had our first choice spine available for all games with the exception of Houghton v Leeds which, ironically, was our best performance. No excuses for our ongoing inability to unlock a defence

[list[/list:uWe're in second place for try assists. 1 less than leaders Wigan. So we must be unlocking them somewhere. And our top three players with assists are Connor, Sneyd and Kelly (3 in his one and only game)

Even you must see we are seriously poor in unlocking a defence in the opposition 20.
Maybe bring Purtill in as your assistant coach for some fresh ideas and let Last coach the reserves

First, let me say, I am on the fence, leaning to the change side re Radford.

However, to suggest we haven't had recent success, is just plain blind to the facts.

As has been said, what happens in the next 5/6 games will point the way to how successful this season will be.

Time for Last to make it on his own in the wide world of employment IMO. If Radford ever does go, it's equally important that last isn't retained.

You're winning the debate in same way Corbyn claimed to have done after the last election.

or a KR "moral victory"

Was you the one who wants to have Griffin on the bench as cover?

Have you been at the funny fags, Vicar?

Your point is valid but it seems that it's been like this for some seasons now. Always a plethora of injuries to numerous players.

Why is it that we seem to have so many? It's been the same under different conditioners so it can't just be that they're being overworked in the gym.

Have we, actually, been worse off than any other team?

Wonder if Fitzgibbon fancies the job

doubt it

Imagine losing the Wakefield game ?

I have lost interest

Same here, my apathy worries me.

This is what happened under Agar and we had a much worse squad and never lost by 70 points

Apathy has also crept into the club..

Doesnt help when the owner, states "[iAs long as I’m chairman here I can’t foresee ever making a change in my coach. I trust him implicitly and he’s done a great job for me[/i.”"..

Decision needs yo be made soon, if Radford stays fully expect Shaul and Houghton to get 3 year contracts whilst losing Jake Connor.

in that case, Maybe a "Pearson out" thread would be more effective?

That's a good balanced post.

We are going in circles now. I aren't happy with Radford in charge, I could reel off all of the things I want to see us improve (on and off the field), but it's been done to death now. He isn't going to be going anywhere just yet, so let's see what the next month brings with a nice fixture list and a close to full strength team. Pearson isn't stupid, if we aren't performing to an acceptable level then he will act sooner or later.

It's a good post but I disagree with two of your conclusions.

1. Your argument about Radford assembling the squad meaning he has to be given more time. That argument works with signings of the type that Powell and Watson often make, misfits and rough diamonds that they polish up into something much better, a new coach might come in and see nothing in them at all. FC though have got a great squad that any good coach should be able to work with.

2. The expectation that Radford might somehow bring about a huge change in mindset and mental strength. The bloke has been there seven years and hasn't managed it yet. I don't see how there can be any reasonable expectation that he's going to do it now. In fact he's far more likely to be a cause of the mental fragility than a cure for it.

No, because Adam has done a lot for the cliub, and continues to do so. radford has done sweet FA for three years.

i can only assume you are related to him.

Totally agree with your post.. 100%

I think most FC fans do.

Tbh i wouldnt lost too much sleep if we lost Connor. He should be a starting centre but then that means he takes either Tui or Griffins spot and that would be unfair. Hes not an half back but thinks he is - somethings got to give
