One game we look like world beaters and the tactics and gameplan seem to have been planned down to a tee. We look enthusiastic with good line speed and play with flare in attack. Then the next game we play like 13 men who have met up on a pub crawl and everything seems disjointed and a total mess.
Now if someone could explain this it would be helpful

It’s Radders sleight of hand, occasionally we slip and show how good we are, it’s the thoroughbred in us which cant be restrained, yet Radders reigns us in, we don’t want to be high flying, this time of the year, third will do for now, lulling the Cheshire/Lancs runaway leaders into an unbeatable train of thought, slipping the odd 60/80 loss in for good measure, yet when it really matters we will unleash hell, and all will wonder how the black & whites have captured trophies once more.

What a difference a week and 1 game make. 3rd with optimism to 5th with realism.
Another inept performance, another blow out score at home by a team we shouldn't be getting thumped by, beat possibly but not thumped.
Poor attitude from the players and Radford again at a loss to explain why.
It's the consistency of nights like last night that make me doubt Radford's ability to take this team any further.
A measure of a good coach is how well their team performs under adversity and we just seem to constantly melt.
Don't expect to win but just to expect a committed performance would be acceptable and yet we never seem to get that.

HDM reckon you have 17 players out injured but when i look at your line up last night that must be a near full strength pack you had, so who are the 17 injured?

If you look at saints, who are head and shoulders above us performance wise, their overall squad isn't really any better than ours but holbrook has all of them playing at a high level of their ability every game. That's where we need to get to. If we change the personnel will that get us there? I'm not sure

Saints brought in 4 youngsters and recalled Swift from DR for their game against Cats and absolutely battered them.
Were as we would feel sorry for ourselves and get hammered.
This for me highlights the difference in coaching ability and mindset.

Take your black and white tinted specs off Jake. Im not trolling but Saints are head and shoulders above you, how many of your players would make there starting 13?

IMO who would make the 17.

Shaul
a winger
Kelly
Sneyd
Bowden
2 from Hadley, Lane or Savalio.

So 7 out, problem is a lot of backs ups out as well, the young winger would have been about 6th choice at the start of the year.

Add tuime to that list

True, that's 5/7 backs

…. and missing Liam Harris was a blow, he's a half decent scrum half, and with Westerman carrying an injury, Tomkins didn't need to get out of first gear.
