I just have a different outlook and opinions on what's the cause, we all have different opinions, which is a good and healthy thing.
We got our backsides tanned tonight. but that was tonight and next time will be a different day.

| I can never understand why hull players can never seem to raise their game at home in front of five figure gates,yet away teams regularly play like world beaters at the kc with very few away fans.wire are a good side,but not that good.id bet money they wont score 60 plus away at any other super league club.

Brian Mcdermott was fairly similar at Leeds. The Leeds fans were always after his head, and after 4 SL titles and 2 Challenge cups they finally got their wish last year. There might be one or two regretting that now.

Why would they regret what was the right decision as whatever the reasons and the success they’d had under McDermott it was no longer happening for Leeds. So rather than stand on sentiment and keep him at the helm they moved him on. That’s the difference with clubs that are at the top they don’t look back In what they’ve won they continually look forward. We seem content to accept the poor standards just because we won back to back cups.

When things are not going right it’s easy to show things are not as they seem, but strangely it’s ready to feel the wrath of the fans before it’s over ,you should be ready to follow what is being displayed by the team and not be wrong prove the points.

But how many times have we been tanned whilst Radford has been coach?
Too many for my liking
People seem to forget Just how many big defeats we have had under Radford
He has a get out of jail card because of the Cup Final victories but if Pearson keeps him on it will be two wasted seasons when we really should have kicked on

No one does.
It's only you and your ilk that do. You all defend her and rally round her like she's some sort of messiah to you all, it's cringe worthy.
She just spouts spin and confuses most with her choice of language and words in order to defend the club or Lee against what is another inexcusable performance.
Another record for Lee anyway. Biggest home defeat to add to longest losing streak and biggest SL defeat.
His unwanted records now outnumber his successes and pose a real danger to the club.
Surely enough is enough even you must see this.

I'm not here to defend Radford, I'm just not as exciteable as you. Ranting on here isn't going to get us a new coach but it it makes you happy go for it.

I never said you are here to defend Radford and I've not displayed any excitable behaviour nor have I ranted so don't know what your misplaced and I'll conceived point is.
What got my pip was you critiscising another poster in your pathetic and sickly defence of Barista.
Last night was a massive dose of reality which has become a familiar theme in the Radford tenure. If you're happy crack on but I'm not.
I'm also guessing the hundreds upon hundreds of people streaming out through the 2nd half were not happy either and Pearson looked far from pleased.

| It’s not good enough on the field
It’s not good enough off the field
Other than Scott Taylor the pack is either not good enough or too old, that’s if you want to complete at a high level. You can’t lose players like Watts Ellis Fonua and Pritchard and replace them with a Paea Westerman and a Thompson, well you can, but you won’t win many games.
Three years ago it looked like Adam was building us into a top four team, regardless of the coaching on the field with the lack of structure and enthusiasm who is to blame for the structure of the squad?

That was more a question, an assumption more than a statement of fact and one I never intimated, had you taken it in the correct context.
I accept you have a different view, opinion to me and that's fine but it's yours and others crowing of Barista that irks me and your defence of her to belittle another poster that got my goat.
That's just my viewpoint.
Anyway hope he doesn't have his contract renewed. His interview on Sky could have been a rerun from any of the previous 6 years and here we are still no better off or having learned or improved.

You didn't. When context/mitigating circumstances for awful results are pointed out some posters struggle so resort to "club apologist" abuse. Standard fare for those who only see through an anti-Radford lens and have to force the discussion to personal attacks.
In simple terms:
We don't have the resources of bigger clubs and have spent too much of what we do have on a reserves squad for a comp that never happened. This has compromised the relative quality of the first team.
Our recruitment was poor and our squad was light at prop from the getgo, even with Bowden and Green fit.
Resigning Minichiello and Talanoa in overseas spots has prevented us bringing in quality.
We have some injuries, which would not have affected the result against a Top 2 side but may have narrowed the margin.
Of course other teams with smaller budgets are doing well, like Castleford and Wakefield. But currently only to the extent of finishing higher than us. Cas have just lost to bottom club Leeds, Wakefield lost to Rovers and London.
Radford may not be the answer and obviously the buck stops with him so he may get the sack for a long run of largely embarrassing blowouts. But those hallucinating that we have cash for a big back room staff and marquee players should prepare themselves for disappointment. There's a reason Saints, Wigan and Leeds have dominated SL in the last decade or so and it's the same reason Warrington are knocking on the door.
It's not a case of being "satisfied" with the status quo, just being more balanced than "spewing" anti-Radford vitriol. All this internal anger and constant negative repetition must be exhausting.

| Anyone with pride would quit after that game, but LR wont, his pride is a mixture of ignorane and arrogance.
Recruitment has been poor, retention even worse.
Back to back CC's are fab, but that 541t show last nighr was embarassing, AGAIN!
