Can't disagree with him about Abdull if that is the case. I'm really disappointed because I was looking for him to basically take Pryce's place in the team on merit this season but he's miles away. Everybody was bad at Widnes fair enough but he was like a turnstile in defence against Warrington, when the rest of the team was great, and they targeted him every time. His conditioning is unforgivable. At that age, with the amount of sport he's doing daily, the only way you can be that fat is eating and drinking too much rubbish.

Whilst I agree with the above statement, I also think having Shaul would've won us the game. We made far more meters and the massive difference was the lack of support play for those breaks. Shaul would've been backing Frank up each time and we'd have been laughing as Leeds had their heads down. We let their confidence grow, you could feel it happening from Western Terrace and as South Stand grew louder, so did Leeds. We need to be the type of team that puts teams to bed and doesn't allow them to gain confidence, and support play clearly needs to be a priority for all players, not just Shaul!!

leeds made almost 100 more metres than us on the night

The three clubs above us have won 8 lost 3 so I'd agree 7 v 4 is not a bad return. Radford is nursing the squad through a part of the season where I believe injuries have hit us badly in the past - especially when feeling the need to get them back before fully recovered. Keeping players on the sideline until they are fit and taking the odd risk with team selection (like against Warrington and Leeds) will hopefully pay dividends at the "business end" of the season. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing the team play on firmer, drier grounds (not artificial ones).

Feeling more and more hopeful that some of my bets might well come in - the odds have certainly shortened since the start of the season.

We started with a new blend and they nor we didn't how good it would be. Half way through we know we are actually pretty good. The brain fart apart, our few losses have been even narrower than last year's. We've learnt game management, we now have the mind set to win games from behind. If from this good start Radders can instill hunger and desire rather than over confidence and complacency that has been before then we might just be in the mix up for a shiny pot with ribbons on it.

Sidewards doesn't count!!!
