Have you just stated that no team is a given win but we should be thumping Wakey.

Given current situations in SL I was stating that if they are getting week in week out a hiding more often than not, if we are making a statement of intent then we as well should hand them a thumping...
just for you i shall explain... ok
If we struggle against Wakey or even get beaten then that also is an indication of where we are...Need pictures??

I get the picture we have no right to beat anyone but only 'thumping' the team 1 place below us is suffice,Wakey on their day are ok,ask Cas and rovers.

Decent post, think we've done well in defence without Ellis tbf. Problem has been our attack, which would be helped massively if we had a hooker who had a rugby brain and made the right decision more often than not. Put Roby in our team, or even a Lunt and we'd be instantly transformed going forward imo.
Yesterday has to be a turning point, if we don't back it up in the next few games then I can't see us going anywhere, ever, under Radford. If we win against Widnes then it will be 4 out of 10, which I saw as a minimum but we need to turn that into at least 8 from 15 for mine and then eventually 14 or 15 from 23, which would see us top 6 imo.
I love being optimistic.

| Here's a radical suggestion, why don't we all get off Radford's back (and get behind the team) until after the Widnes game?
If we win that then it may be we are making progress.
If we lose then IMO he should go then.

That right there is why Radford said what he did yesterday!!!
If we win we're making progress but if we lose he should go??? Why is there no middle ground? Why so absolute?

Because he will have had his chance (a season and a half) to prove he's up to the job and failed.
Because his win record will be 13 from 37 (35%).
Because having assembled his own team he will have won 3 matches out of 10 this season (30%).
Because we will have very little chance of making the top 8 which is unacceptable.
Because we really should be beating Widnes at home (no disrespect to them) if we have any ambition.
If we lose, why should he stay????

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

here is a better one, let the coach coach the team, and if they fail miserably ongoing then we change him
if he turns it around and all changes then we give him the key to the city

How and when do we know whether he has failed or succeeded?
How long does he get to turn it around?

| Great win yesterday and credit were credit is due to the team and Radford himself. That said, I hope that no one gets carried away either amongst the fan base nor within the club. By all means we should all enjoy the win but the issues many fans have brought up regards our current situation still remain despite receiving a morale boost. What we need now is for the team to use this win as a catalyst to push on and not to think they have already done so.
