I know both Lee and Adam have said there is no rush to get Lee's contract sorted, but I just wonder if it's having any impact on recruitment/retention if players don't know who they are going to be playing for?

I don't think there is any doubt he will get another one and the relationship is solid that is why they have no worries or rush.

He is still the man

Whilst I agree he is a good Head Coach, I do also agree with others that we need a specialist attack coach, someone who hasn't been at the club before.

I agree that we need an attacking coach and it would definitely benefit us, however I must say that I think we have shown some improvement in this area so far this season. We seem more willing to throw the ball around and we seem to have a lot more bodies in motion and dummy runners.

It may well be that someone is doing that role, just not formally announced. We have been better, and if that someone is Lee, then all respect to him,

… probably having Kelly, Sneyd and Westerman back will have helped!

He knows he needs some support coaches, an attack coach was on the cards, but AP wouldn't fund it, so he went elsewhere

do you have proof of the fact AP wouldn't fund it, or is that opinion?

A written letter from AP - No. But trust the source

so, no proof.

Get him signed Easter’s coming.

what relevance does Easter have?

You need to keep up, here's one from a month ago, there are plenty more.

Ah, now I get it, apologies!

After years of being on this site I would say that Wilde in fairness is one of the few who actually knows what he is talking about, and he's usually right!

Its common knowledge Brett Hodgson was signed up and sorted as Lee's choice for attacking coach but he gave back word in 2017 and went home. A further one was lined up but that came to nought for some reason which was on the Club side of the deal.

Fair enough, apologies to Wilde, would be interesting to know where "elsewhere" is, but I doubt Wilde will want to betray the trust of whomever told him/her.

Fully agree that the style of play has changed, much more movement around the ball & players running onto the ball at pace. Far less 'wasted' tackles as well.

Also agree this may have been forced or at least encouraged by lack of several of our middles, BUT it is being done so much more slickly than for a very long time that this must reflect a change of approach, or just some assistance in the attacking region.

IF this continues & our dreadnought pack resume dominance we used to have as well, then the rest of SL will really have to worry.

Come on u uuuuuullllllllllll !

I agree there is a noticable change in our style of attacking play.Its obviously still work in progress as we still lose our way at times and see sets fizzle out to nothing.
I would still like us to turn teams round more with kicks into the in goal forcing repeat sets.
Sneyd kicking now to the corners without Connor in the centre or Talanoa on the wing is a waste of time.
I have said before the most noticable thing about the team this season if just how fit we are.

Yeah we are probably guilty of always trying to score a try on the last tackle when we're right on their line rather than just trying to build pressure with a grubber in goal. It's always a high kick to the corner. I suppose its what we've been good at over the last few years though. Sneyd can put the ball exactly where he wants and Connor and Tuli are 2 of the best in the league at taking those kicks in.

Let’s see how we are after 9 games
It’s the real barometer ! Lol

Three wins in Seventeen games now for Radford and as lots have mentioned those three wins have come against the bottom three in SL. We never focus for a full game, are as inconsistent as when Radford first took over and still look a world away from ever winning a grand final despite having a fairly decent team.

This is Paul Cullen at Wire all over - I wouldnt renew - bring a top top aussie in (yes pay top money Pearson) with Ellis assistant - only if we finally sign a top coach will this club ever achieve SL success and top level consistency over a long period as im sorry but Radford will never achieve that imo - his record apart from two CC runs shows this

give over,its every time we lose , we get it you don't rate radford

This is a forum
All views, as long as they’re decent , are allowed and shouldn’t be down trodden.

We have many people who think radford should be on a 10 year contract and he’s their hero forever

We don’t give them a mouthful do we ?

It’s Seb’s opinion on Radford

I’m with him as you know

Without diverse opinions this Forum would be boring as hell

So, were they great results or not?

Yeah the ones against Leeds and Wigan were (though looking at who else is beating them maybe not) but what about the fourteen losses?

FFS i get abused for being negative then when ive said some positive recently its used against me - you cant make it up!!!
