To be fair he’s come in playing behind a beaten pack he’s not really going to look that good I think he’s a good player does seem a bit high maintenance though

Whilst I agree, you would think it 8 or so games, he would create something even behind a beaten pack, there has been times in games when the pack has been top and he still hasn't created anything except from a bomb, Rovers at home being the perfect example.

I'm sure there is a good SL player in him, but he hasn't shown it consistently yet

Should have you in charge of Brexit with these super negotiation skills. That idiot Pearson eh, even if he is willing to let him leave for nothing, coming out and saying that is purely idiotic. If there is the slightest chance of getting a fee then surely the right thing to do is try. IMO Abdul will join you for free, but if someone offers even 10k then we are 10k richer.

COACH Radford in Mail saying be thankful we finished 6th
I seem to remember hearing that after the CC loss we would use the spare weekends off to rest ahead of achieving our goal of winning then GF
Now it’s just excuses
First the injuries , then the players and now be thankful we didn’t get relegated.
Also the line about younger players benefitting , well weve been hearing that old chestnut for years
Which 18-20 year olds benefitted from the first debacle under Radford in 2014-15, when we blooded them ? Answers please

Winning = Entertainment = season pass sales

AP will be crazy to stick with Radford if we lose all 11 on the spin - totally mind boggling

Would anybody be happy with Harrison Hansen or hock !

I think the overarching problem this season is how we were pushed into survival mode i.e. "survive these injuries and avoid the middle 8". I think some blame lies with Radford for the team taking their foot off the gas once that was achieved.

However, that shouldn't take away from the fact some players ran their blood to water and are clearly fatigued beyond capacity to put in a decent 80 minutes.

Ultimately I can't wait for season end and hope the club are looking at the strength and conditioning and medical side of things to improve injury prevention and management.

Certainly not.

If Hock's head is in the game then he is exactly the type of prop we are missing, close to Watts style and caused us a lot of problems in the cup, I'd take him on a cheap one year deal.

Hanson although a decent hard working player I wouldn't be so keen on, too similar to the players we already have

Its getting more like Dads army.

Thats the problem though with Hock as his head is very rarely in the game, as good as he used to be he is simply no longer any where near the player he was, plus he comes with way too much baggage. Even if he came super cheap is he really what the club needs or wants?

I agree he's the type of forward we need and that's one who can bust a tackle or two and has decent hands but Hock just isn't the answer.

Can't believe we'd bin Watts and end up replacing him with Hock

The hock rumour is clearly Shiite as it would fly in the face of everything Radford has talked about in terms of culture at the club plus he's garbage and a liability on the field. He's hardly pulled up any trees in the championship either.

Harrison Hansen is ok but wouldn't add anything at all other than another body. Chris Clarkson is garbage and even rovers don't want him.

If these are the type if player we are looking to sign then thank God they're binning the middle 8s

But are they Jake? Perhaps, some say, because its not his idea, Hetherington is whipping up the Championship and Division One Clubs who don't get televised week in week out and thus carry the profile of the game (many of whom who have no ambition to go full time or be in Super League at all, but who take their Sky money every year), to turn down the other 11 Super League Clubs who are struggling for gates under the current regime, quite frankly I doubt anything will change much at all.

If that's the case then I would be worried then
