think the handbags thing was as far as i could see was a bloke who was with his children complaining about 2 idiots in front of him, he cert wasnt happy about something

I can see your view for sure...but the work lee is doing behind the scenes in organising the club top to bottom is on a different level to his predecessor who was without doubt my error. .

I respect your right to withdraw pass holder funds and personal  support but really believe you will miss a great season and struggle to replicate friday nights supporting your team..

I e-mailed Adam beginning of the season expressing my concerns and due to the poor season and lack of improvement I would not renew my pass as I believed Radford was not the right man for the job.
Above is a direct lift from one of his replies to me.
Wonder if he still believes that to be true.

Should send him that email back and see if he stands by his words

Many more, even myself, will not or consider not renewing passes for next season if he insists on keeping radford in charge

Read a lot of posts on here but never really any about which players just arnt cutting it, we know rad fords not up to it but interesting to know what players arnt, Radford touched on 7 not putting effort in who are the 7? And why are they still at the club

That's hit the nail on the head

I still dont think I've fully recovered from last night.

For starters, Radford's team selection was bizarre. Firstly dropping Rankin, and secondly to move half of the team around to accomodate Yeaman.

As usual, our defence was good(ish), we made decent meters and had more than our fair share of field position.

But attack


Our kicking game is abysmal.
No desire to make that extra effort.
Concentration. Being ready for an offload or a team mate playing the ball.
Slow and laboured.
We never ever ever EVER draw the defender, commit the man. It's so easy to defend against. This is a direct result of the unopposed sessions.
No dummy runners.
No intelligence.

I've just had a quick look at the SL Stats website. As we know, we're the lowest try scorers. But we also have the lowest trys:try assists ratio. This adds weight to the point a lot of people have made on here about us relying on things like intercepts, or luck.

Last week on here I agreed with those who said Radford needs an attacking coach to come in and help. But it's too late, by the time the new plays start working their way through and attitudes gradually change, it'll be too late for the season.

However, if Radford were to go NOW, there's the slim chance that the players will play above themselves and atleast try and salvage SOMETHING. We see it a lot, new coach comes in, players suddenly kick into gear. I'm not sure how it works psychologically, whether it's to try and impress(?) I dunno, but that's the only option now IMO, otherwise, the season is fkd.

Great post - I feel exactly the same way, and have done since I watched Radford appointed in dismay.

Too late already now. Didnt think Pearson would have kept him up to this far. Its obvious he is not going to get rid of him so you can forget that. Just down to preying before the game now lol

The unopposed sessions is such an important point. There is now so much research evidence that shows that practising skills that are not directly related to the actual sport doesn't work. The old view that using a smaller ball in football training sessions or making the defensive line closer in a RL training session is old fashioned tripe. All it does is improve skills related to the strange training technique. The very best way of training is to practice exactly as the sport is played.

Fc just seem so confused in everything they do, they look like they are playing a different sport.

If he keeps Radford in charge for the rest of this season we'll be playing in the Chamionship next season. Pass sales will be the least of our worries.

After seeing carney tonight I'm going to email radford and suggest he gets pryce and sneyd to start drinking their own piiss

You must feel very proud of yourself.

I do. Let me have your phone number and I'll call you to explain how to use email

I am considering it but need to word it tactfully

I honestly think Radford is being paid by Neil Hudgell !!'

I am certain information from fans comments is passed to Pearson but it would do no harm if you send him a link to this forum.
He also needs reminding that he promised us attractive attacking rugby under Radford.Ask him what happened to that and a direct question Is he still satisfied with the job Radford is doing as head coach of this club regarding the teams performance on the field.
We are not interested that he is good with stats and keeps a tidy desk.

Pearson changed his email address a few days before the game. Thats a fact.

I won't be going anywhere near the Challenge Cup game, no matter if we win next week or the week after.

Get f&king rid of the broken toothed time-waster. He sounds utterly clueless in post-match conferences.

Remember this from last October?

No, I recall this every year since 2006.

That email from AP is absolute drivel.

That is just a sales pitch to get extra season pass sales. Thankfully living in Oz means I cabt buy a pass but if I had one I'd mail it back to AP or nail it to door of our training facility.

I'll put money in it that LR will never be a successful SL coach. Once he eventually gets the boot, name me 1 club that would take on his services. I really want to know what he whispered into APs ear to get PG the sack.

Club Hull.......? Club Fail

What e mail address did you use or have?

Here's an idea: If Radford is so brilliant at the behind the scenes stuff, give him the CEO job and hire a proper coach, because the number 1 priority for the coach should be on the pitch and we're clearly s**t at that.

Good idea.

In my line of work the only way to deal with an incompetent manager is to keep promoting them until they can't do any more damage. Its called the Dilbert Principle.

Radford was a mediocre player, got promoted to bad captain, then became awful assistant coach, then disastrous head coach. The guy is a natural born CEO.

Maybe time to give Radders the CEO job and give Andy Last a shot at head coach?

That statement by Pearson is the biggest work of fiction to come out of this club in a long while


Or is it the case that Pearson and/or indeed the players wouldn't allow Gentle to change things..period
