And you do realise we were 1 disallowed try from losing the 2017 final.
Winning a CC does not make you a better coach just for your information.
Consistency, improving the quality of your playing staff and challenging in GFs and world club challenges does.
Wane beats Radford hands down not that I'm a fan of his either but please take your blinkers off.

Improving the quality of our playing staff? Under Radford we've had our only ever Man of Steel, we had another player finishing in the top 3 of the man of Steel, we've had more players than ever in the end of season dream teams than under any other coach.

Nothing to do with improved recruitment then?



We clearly have been watching different Hull teams the last 2 seasons.
Biggest SL defeat, twice I believe , longest SL losing streak, biggest Magic weekend defeat, have I missed any?
Oh and omg we are so boring.
What you've stated are individuals, Radford does not seem to galvanise or improve, or inspire a team.
Clearly wearing spectatles of a rose coloured nature helps when viewing

That's sport, form changes, circumstances happen from time to time that are out of your control that can be detrimental to you. Wayne Bennett had seasons as a coach when things didn't go his way, it doesn't make him a bad coach, but it does mean he's capable because he's proven.

Radford is still relatively young as a coach, he's still learning lessons himself, and he'll be better off for going through the tough times as well as the good times.

It's to easy to throw the towel in when the hard times come, it's the hard times when he'd need our confidence in him more than ever.

Don't disagree with most of that but if he needs our confidence in him we'll that's a concern and worry that he's not capable himself.

It's clearly obvious I'm all for a change of coach now.
I was initially supportive of Radford's appointment at 1st but we have become predictable, predominantly boring and rely on power rather than guile. That coupled with 2 seasons of dross and so many unwanted records means I'm fed up and want the club freshening up.

The coaching is stale and will not inspire pass sales.

Hahahaha what planet are you on, jumping on the mrs b bandwagon seriously isn’t funny, you can stop now haha made me chuckle that though, thank you

That's an embarrassing reply.

Anything to what I said, or am I getting through to you and you don't like it when your argument is being challenged with a better one?

Yours wasn’t worth a reply, completely brainwashed, BUT, just for your benefit I might tear it to bits, your logic is embarrassing

Tear away, Geoff Capes

I do, but I don’t, kind of feel your trying to play the same game as Mrs b to get a bite, troll bait as Karen calls it

I was just giving my argument in favour of our coach, if that makes me a troll, then so be it. How do I not be a troll? do I have to agree with you and say, the only thing that will make us great again is to fire our coach?

Was it the Geoff Capes thing that hurt? if so I apologise, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Yeh I’m devastated. Your trolling because nobody who’s watched us for the last few seasons could possibly believe what you are saying. Fair enough back radford, and think we should give him more time. But don’t treat people like fools and lie to yourself. No need, it’s just annoying trolling

On side note, this rovers games fun, payback Monday if it stays like this, after been hammered today

Could be worse guys and girls, at least we don't support Rovers

How do I go about defending him then. if trying to defend means it's against forum rules by trolling.

I'm struggling to understand what you mean by trolling?

I just posted a defence of our coach, in a thread on the subject of our coach, and you replied to it with basically an insulting post about me, and then you declared me a troll.

Now you can see what a good coach can do after seeing London beat HKR
Working on a limited budget and a squad of fairly average players the coach has done a magnificent job
Put Radford in charge of London this season and they would have been relegated months ago

Are you trying to say that Radford is a better coach?

Might be next week, if saints turn up to play and we don’t, after watching what saints did to Hudds tonight, could be a shocker

Wonder what he'll think if Tony Smith resides over Rovers relegation.


Think London and Wakey should be gentlemen and shake on a point each next week and hope Salford bury our cousins.

Ignore him. You're not trolling. Ironic because his previous account was banned because he's a troll.

Yeh and Wayne Bennett, I honestly don’t think he’s been to a game since the last cc final win, or bothered watching us on tv

Zzzzzzzz that again, you say it like I try to hide the fact I was banned

But that's hypothetical, we shouldn't be making big decisions like changing our coach on hypotheticals.

I wanna know what's in place if we do get rid. Because right now we have a proven coach, whose had us winning silverware, had us regularly at the right end of the table, had us playing in semi finals and finals more than not. Shown he's got a good eye to spot a player, the likes of Fonua and Ratu being gems he found.

What's the guarantee somebody can do better? there isn't one, it's a gamble, I don't think we need to gamble yet. He gets some new and hopefully improved cards to play with next season, he needs to be given the chance to see if he can do with this new group of players what he did with the departing group. He still has credit to play with in my opinion.

Was thinking the same about that first point.


Been a top week for Rovers. Another £400k loss posted and beaten at home by London. SKD a good signing though.
