You didn't. When context/mitigating circumstances for awful results are pointed out some posters struggle so resort to "club apologist" abuse. Standard fare for those who only see through an anti-Radford lens and have to force the discussion to personal attacks.
In simple terms:
We don't have the resources of bigger clubs and have spent too much of what we do have on a reserves squad for a comp that never happened. This has compromised the relative quality of the first team.
Our recruitment was poor and our squad was light at prop from the getgo, even with Bowden and Green fit.
Resigning Minichiello and Talanoa in overseas spots has prevented us bringing in quality.
We have some injuries, which would not have affected the result against a Top 2 side but may have narrowed the margin.
Of course other teams with smaller budgets are doing well, like Castleford and Wakefield. But currently only to the extent of finishing higher than us. Cas have just lost to bottom club Leeds, Wakefield lost to Rovers and London.
Radford may not be the answer and obviously the buck stops with him so he may get the sack for a long run of largely embarrassing blowouts. But those hallucinating that we have cash for a big back room staff and marquee players should prepare themselves for disappointment. There's a reason Saints, Wigan and Leeds have dominated SL in the last decade or so and it's the same reason Warrington are knocking on the door.
It's not a case of being "satisfied" with the status quo, just being more balanced than "spewing" anti-Radford vitriol. All this internal anger and constant negative repetition must be exhausting.
