A lot depends on how the pack perform this year and how well we cover the inevitable injuries . Hope they can get on the front foot and give our backs a chance to shine as we've got some talent there . Looking forward to seeing Radfords input and to see if the team is going to play from a different more attacking mind set as promised .
Decent chance of 6 again imo.

I've not seen more than a couple saying that. Most say sixth as do a large number of supporters of other clubs on the VT.

All clubs have excitable supporters. Easty is predicting fifth for Rovers, above Warrington.

Radford just needs to control him self abit. He doesn't want to get into a situation where the players are scared to do something abit different at times and in case it doesn't come off and they are facing a bollocking and a dropping.

So true. For all we've supposedly had a "good pack" , over the last few years it's been very rare that our 6 have dominated the opposition. If we're going backwards in defence and struggling to make yards the backs will have little chance. As Radders said we lacked physicality last week and more often than not that's been our main problem for a while now.

Doesn't this apply to every coach in world sport?

No, not every coach manager has a confrontational style.

Can count against you big time if things not going your way

He's got good man management skills radders, I don't know why people are thinking different.

I just hope he can instill a bit of aggression into the forwards. I'm sick of seeing forwards jogging at the opposition and then laying passively on the ground until the opposition players get off him and vice versa in defence

What did you think about his pop at the so called weaker players in the squad after the Bradford defeat, the 30%.

He was correct.

Not saying he wasn't, you not think it was a comment that should have been kept in the changing room?

He was being interviewed about the game. What's he supposed to do, trot out some shiite about blaming the referee, weather, not having his full first team playing?

He gave praise, well-deserved, to Ellis, Paea, Feka, Westerman. They stood up. There were many players on the sidelines - McDonnell, Lineham (for part of it), Yeaman, Talanoa, Watts, Tuson, Whiting - who'll be in contention either this weekend or shortly. Some players were playing to edge that group out, it was a good opportunity. Not all of them took it. He's said today that he's giving them another chance tomorrow, going with 25 players. What's the drama?

Any new coach will make mistakes in the media. It's inevitable. Look at sandy, 2 years of it and he's still like a rabbit in the headlights

I think you're right but then so is everyone's except for saints, salford and cas

There in the media eye anyway, so for there coach to come out & say if they are playing well or not playing well is normal, its part of been a professional sports star, just hope he never blames the ref publicly!
