I think , given how Cas played it’s gonnna be a straight scrap between us and Wakey now for the wooden spoon and cannot help but wonder if we should have gone with Last as our coach for a while longer - I know people wanted us to sever all ties with anything to do with Radders at the time But Cas looked well coached and resilient and a lot better than when Radders had them.'"
Absolutely not. To keep this on topic Pearson made the correct call in not appointing Last. Hodgson was a gamble that didn't work but Last was not the man for the job.'"
Last did a good job in steadying things after Radford was rightly relieved of his role. As COYU said AP made the right call in not appointing Last as Head Coach despite the recent job he’d done. BH in fairness may well have worked out had we a better work ethic within the core group but sadly the tail was still wagging the dog. The recruitment under Radford since 2018 was very poor and we are now paying the price for his band.
Watching Cas last night under Last they look to be the same as we were under BH but it’s next season and the season after that the will cost Cas due to Radford reforming his band there.
Think Pearson has the right man for the job and as a possible DoR in the future as TS will I believe be taking the weight of playing staff/team off the shoulders of AP & JC.
It’s a big job and everyone in the RL world knows it which is why TS proven track record and experience will pay dividends.
Look at HKR now which, as much as their fans no longer want to admit, it’s the foundations that TS put in place that they are benefiting from.
For us now it’s hopefully short term pain for long term gain.
