Are you simply incapable of reading, I've given Radford plenty of recognition/credit in what i wrote

The company I work for in Melbourne is HostPlus
We sponsor Storm
Had the chance to hear a corporate speak from
Frank Possini and the Storm CEO
They said that after they lost to the Sharks last year they had a 2 day
forum with the players and went through every inch of why they lost
and more importantly what needed to change
They left nothing uncovered including refusing to take part in coming to the UK to play FC
You saw the result - relentless drive to win the GF

I emailed Adam and explained most of what I'd heard and top bloke
AP is he was very interested

Lee R is currently compiling a season review

I would include the players if he isn't already

Get all the negatives out on the table - ALL of it

It may be that they train too hard ?
Attacking patterns that some key players only agree 70% with
Storm brought in an incredible attacking coach

In fact Storm change asst coaches regularly bringing in new
Ideas and enthusiasm

There are many things that lead to
GF success and I hope we have some sort of full on dossier with lots of player input that helps us to GF success

Season for me - 9/10 as I love the CC

Really, I must have missed that between the shots at “same old problems that are the fault of the coach”.

The attack isn't anywhere near good enough. Only 7th highest try scorers in SL, and that is effectively out of the 8 who played in the top 8's.

Add in highest number of missed tackles (160 more than cas), 2nd highest number of errors, highest number of penalties conceded ( in the top 8's), highest number of yellow cards ( in the top 8's) and highest number of red cards in the comp and it's easy to see where we've fallen down. With some improvement in our attack - I've said for some time we need a specialist attack coach, better discipline and mental approach/toughness we should be there or thereabouts next year. If we don't improve in these areas we won't be top 4 nest season

amen to that!

The reason why SL is poor to watch (officials aside) is because it's a slug fest, the majority of the top sides are coached by former forwards, and it shows. The game is in decline because of this, and unless it changes it will continue to slip even further behind RU.

You only need to read the press in Aus about how Storm revitalised their attack
They brought in a new guy and he's turned them totally around

Paul Cooke as an attack coach anyone??

People may say that he didn't do anything for Leigh, but they don't have the forward dominance in games that we tend to have

I would go with that, espescially after reading his book. He almost joined FC prior to his joining Leigh.

That's BS, I said we had the same old problems raising their head - discipline, missing tackles, poor line speed, giving away possession (which leads to lots of tackles to be made), over reliance on kicks for tries, not much idea in the opposing 20m and separately I said the mental aspect is as much down to the coach as it is the players, so don't start making quotes up that i have not said just so you can push your insipid agenda

It's not just me pointing out our pitfalls and where we failed in certain areas, everyone has, that failing is down to the players and the coach together. Those are all real things that are re-occurring and part of the reason why we lost 13 games.


However I specifically said Radford made positive changes regarding using the youth in the squad and that he changed from using the same team team week in week out to resting some and playing others, something he didn't really do last year except for the Warrington game and that was mainly down to injury. I pointed out how good we were at times in both defence and attack, how fantastic we were in thoose 3 games I highlighted, doesn't that also credit what the coach is doing or do you think that's just down to the players only??

Oh by the way
Having complete and I mean complete Shoite defence and unforced errors just fooks you up after 33 games

I'd have Cooke as attacking coach in a heartbeat and have said so for several years. I DJ at Yorkshire Carnegie and when Cooke was at Doncaster, the attack that Union side showed at Headingley was by far the best I'd seen in any of the teams I'd watched over the season and it was down to him imo.

? you've lost me there... ?
