I'm going to give Radford the benefit of the doubt on this squad, most of the squad have been poor over the last few weeks! I'm just getting excited for a good up in the sun in Manchester and hopefully a derby win! I might feel differently Monday! COYH Lets sing our hearts out the lads and hopefully they can play with a bit of pride

The 17 picks itself bar Horne, this would be my team as well, wonder why Bowden isn't in, would have put him ahead of Paea

Who knows what Bowden has done wrong. I wouldn't have dropped Crooks either.

Not trolling,but how can anybody,other than the usual suspects have any confidence when they are in and out of the squad likeyo-yo's,miller,rankin,bowden,whiting,crooks etc spring to mind. Reading the weekly threads certain players seem exempt from being dropped and that can't be right can it ?

Preaching to the choir there Des!

I'm getting fed up of it now. Crooks dropped again whilst Yeaman is allowed to serve up garbage week after week. Bowden, our most effective prop for weeks, dropped, presumably, in favour of Hadley who is only just starting out and currently our weakest forward. Half backs chopped and changed every week. Radford better win this or his days are going to be severely numbered.

We have welham who seems exempt from dropping,but to be fair he has improved a bit recently.Being dropped can be a wake up call,but not every other week !

He's going to end up ruining Whiting as well. Blokes already been way down on his exemplary standards this year, not knowing if he's going to play and if he is, where? Can't help.

Radford is so out of his depth you can no longer put a scale onto it.
AP has to save a drowning man and move him aside.
Radford should show some pride and hold his hands up and resign, unlikely though it is.

You've been saying this many times a day for 7 or 8 months now - give it a break, please.

Add me to your ignore list than you won't have to read my posts.
I will give my continued opinion on a open forum for as long as I choose.
Unless the Mods say otherwise.
Thanks.

You didn't watch the game last Friday then
Kids got real skills but really is having the worst second season syndrome I've ever seen. Coach has played it well for me. Took him out the firing line and brought him back in easier games. Looks like his confidence is back and then gets mullered and shows nothing.
Coach can work with him all week but come game day he can't make him put his shoulder into the tackle.
