Not necessarily. Do you think if we had put in a half decent performance against Hudds last week that we were guaranteed a win? I don't. In the same round of the playoffs last year we put in a better performance against Warrington and we still lost. Better performances do not necessarily mean we will win those games.



I agree that improved performances in fixtures we narrowly lost would result in more points but as I have already pointed out I don't believe that would be the case in games were we were hammered. If Radford can take those sort of defeats and turn them into narrow defeats next season then is that not an improvement and a sign of progress? I think you've already answered that by saying sport is all about winning so anything less than a win will not be good enough for you.

We are not going to turn into a Top 4 team overnight so I just want to see signs that we are heading in that direction (as I did when Gentle was in charge) and my opinion is that more consistent performances on a weekly basis would be one of those signs regardless of result.

Other than the opposition there wasn't. There may have been factors behind the amount of effort they fely they wanted to put in but it was down to players not giving 100% on the night

What about consciously lacking the will to make the effort?

Surely that's a factor behind the lack of effort like I said?

Players giving nothing but a 100%,when they wear our shirt, always play with pride and passion.And if they do that and get beat ill be happy,as long as they don't just roll over and have there bellys tickled as they have done on occasion this year.

Interesting to read some of these comments back.
