Eeeerrrrmmm wasn’t that said at the beginning of this season. Same old, same old, let’s go round again

If I was a betting man him being allowed to redeem himself in 2020 would be the most expected move from Pearson. But Easter would have to be the limit, any longer than that and you risk another year being a write off and three 'flopped at the end of the year' seasons in a row would really test the fans patience.

We've slipped back into the Heatherington/Rule tactics of serving up poor rugby, sticking by the cheap coach but being good at flogging merchendise and signing some big names to sell the passes. This approach works short term but longer term the fans see through it.

He's been the coach for 6 years. Who's squad do you think this is?

He should be fired now

It’s so simple that I think we currently have the biggest ever case of

The Emperors new clothes

There are too many reasons he should resign

He;s going nowhere

Someone posted Radfords record for the last 10 games of the season each season
Is it on this thread ?

He’s garbage and out of his depth

I’ve posted so many times in the last 2 years that the Players won the CC despite LR not because of him

Fonua Ellis Watts

As soon as they left - think about it

He said he would walk but he won’t

Agar was better - true !
Gentle was even betterer

AP has lost his mind

Two errors
He dropped the ball early in the game from a kick and they scored from it

As a coach you can't be too matey with your players.
In my opinion some players have been given a shop window to find other clubs, whilst others have been given a contract too far.
Yes he's made big changes for next year, but he didn't have much choice did he?
Raiders has tried to look after his players and treat them right, but to the detriment of the club and the supporters.
Too many record defeats this year to go unnoticed.
Thanks Lee, but here's the phone number you need to call....353535

Ive heard a rumour Radford is considering an assistant position in the NRL. His Mrs likes the idea of Australia but it's about their kids

I've beem very reluctant to call for his head up to now but my patience is wearing thin.

Radford's record in September

2014 LW
2015 LLLL
2016 LLWLL
2017 LWWL
2018 LLLL
2019 L

W4 L16

I doubt that very much. His oldest lad has just signed his first professional contract with Hull FC and his youngest lad has just begun year 10 and the start of GCSE's plus he has signed a Scholarship with Hull FC.

So that means he is “Teflon” then ?
Pearson needs to grow a pair and sack him !
His league record is terrible.
He has taken this Club as far as he can . And judging by last night, he has lost the dressing room !

Will have to sit through a record home defeat next week. Saints win by 60+
Only reason I am going is to applaud Mini and Manu.
The 17 players putting that shirt on are mostly seasoned pros. They should need little coaching or motivation.
I would rather see us field our reserve team and let them have a dig than watch the current dross.

It seems to me, when they play "what is in fro t of them" they do OK, it's the set/structured plays that look stifled.

In Radfords defence, he does not make the individual errors on the pitch. There are too many players only putting their hands up when thing go well and a few who need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask if they are really putting in a shift. This is a thread about the coach so I’ll not single out players, but there are 6 or 7 who fall into this bracket.

In the case against Radford, we used to be renowned for stern and brutal defending yet it seems paper thin with our own 20.

Our attacking creativity is just about non existent, especially close to the opposition line. This is not a new thing. Different players over the last 6 seasons, same coach.

Our attacking structure is poor. Our offensive line is the flattest of all SL clubs making it way too easy for the opposition to get in our faces and stifle us. Different players over the last 6 seasons, same coach.

Our line speed is very poor!

This season we have scored some great tries, but the reality is, they come from broken play or a miracle piece of skill, not through structure.

We lack leadership on the pitch. After Cas second try, only ten minutes into the game it was heads down from the captain and the senior players. That attitude needs to change, that comes from the coach.

Cas showed last night how all of the above should be executed and it resulted in a comfortable win for them.

2016/17 were good due to the cup wins and pushing Leeds close for a GF spot

2018 , granted, injuries did for us.

2019, there are no excuses anymore.

Thanks Lee, you will be fondly remembered for the cup wins, but to paraphrase many of your post match interviews “you put in loads of effort but can’t quite figure out how to put all the pieces of the jigsaw together”.

Mr Pearson, it’s time to make a big call.

How many times have we conceded 40 points in the last 2 seasons?

I think I read somewhere,that he is on a rolling contract,but I could be wrong.

There you have it

Business end of the season ? Don’t make me laugh

Bravo..









My only fear is.. IF Pearson removed Radford from his post, he'd probably promote from
within.. eg Horne...
For mine, Radford,Last & Horne need to go to pastures new, and AP needs a reset in his attitude, ie "As long as I'm here, he has the job", this has probably filtered throughout the club, meaning the players dont need to work that hard, as their Manager is under no pressure to succeed..
It will be interesting to see if/when Radford's extension will be revealed....

It's also my understanding that he's on a rolling comtract, so we wouldn't need to pay compensation to get rid. It would be great to have a coach who wasn't a forward in their playing days!

It was an interview in the HDM,with Radford, but a day later was deleted from the HDM's website.

There aren't enough external influences in the coaching team. radford is the one who has been here the shortest time and he's been with us since 2006. horne, last and yeaman even longer. Since then they've worked under sharp (Who they all rave about so I guess that there is still a lot of his thoughts and methods in what we do), agar and gentle so hardly much in the way of forward thinking. We definitely need fresh ideas and a new approach.

It's all too cosy for me and I suspect a small core of players probably wield a lot of influence with the coach

I have a mate who travels 70 miles to watch Hull at home ( a pass holder for the last 9 year's.)
He's not renewing his pass for next season.

With all due respect, it shouldn't matter whether you travel 70 miles, or 70 yards to the game. What we have had to endure this season is not what we sign up for. That's their choice and that should be respected.

I travel a round trip of about 110 miles for home games. I'll buy a pass next year. I have seen us in a much worse state than this in the past. The frustrating thing is that we have the playing personnel to be much better.
