I'd have Lineham back, I'd also have McNamara as coach if Radford did leave,

I'd have lineham back. Decent wingers are rare these days. None of his crowd left at HURL for him to fook around with now either.

Would you be happy with Brian McDermott for 2019??

Nope, he won trophies at Leeds but also inherited a good system and good players from Tony Smith and they were very inconsistent. Champions to middle 8s to Champions and middle 8s again.

While of course we'd be happy with being Champions at any cost, constantly dropping in to the middle8s is risky and you'd come unstuck at some point.

Radford deserves time to sort this out, im giving him until Easter before the Radford Out banner is dusted off

As I’ve said on another thread, it’s nod Radford’s head we need but additions to the coaching staff a la an experienced attacking coach but who’s out there that would work under a young English head coach?

We are going to get an addition to the coaching staff in Gaz Ellis unless he decides to go to Leeds.
Love Gaz Ellis as a player but he is hardly likely to sort out our attacking and ball handling woes

Let's just go for a new head coach and thank Lee for his efforts.
He can leave with his head held high and forever with our gratitude for 2 CC wins.

A change of coach has worked wonders at Saints and latterly Hudds.

I can't stand the thought of stagnating which we have all too often whilst being on the cusp of pushing on further.

You forgot Warrington.Another Aussie coach who has changed their style of play and turned the club around

On the flip side Rick Stone took Hudds backwards, bringing in an Aussie often works but not all the time

I agree but the three clubs mentioned will all be a force next season and more importantly Saints and Warrington have not sat back and have refreshed their already strong squads.
I expect Huddersfield will do the same on the back of a strong season finish which will make it easier for them to attract players.
We are nowhere near the current top four and when you factor in a resurgent Catalan,Huddersfield and Wakefield i think we are in for a poor 2019 even with a fit squad.
Another heavy defeat looming at Huddersfield and Adam Pearson will lose his patience and we will see some changes.
Dont think adding Gaz Ellis to the current coaching set up will solve any of our current playing style and handling problems

Yes sorry forgot Warrington.
I think that without an upgrade in playing quality our coaching set up has reached a ceiling with what they can achieve.
Not bothered what nationality our coach would be I just want to see an improvement in our structures and someone who can inspire the team to give that little bit extra.
Woolford this season being a prime example of that.

Radford steadied the ship, improved personel, won us back to back back CCs but has also overseen two poor seasons, two seasons where weve fallen apart at the business end of the season and now this season which has been awful and - weve played poorly to average for 90% of it and without Ellis, Watts and Fonua were just plain average and back to the form of Radfords first two seasons. Time to move on, thanks for the memories Lee but in order for us to move on then a big decision is needed, failure to do that will see us move further behind the top four and it will be another chance of becoming champions gone though tbh i think that went last season

Radford OUT!

dear oh dear
