Oh give over. Powell is a decent coach and quite probably better than Radford but this is just ridiculous.

Michaels over penny all day for me. Penny struggled to get in a poor wire team all year.
Michaels defence is 1of the best in all outside backs in the league not just our club. Before it gets jumped on that its not a need for a winger id point u to lineham and anther loss the other night through poor defence. All micheals metres are always good. Runs much beyond his weight and plays with urgency. X factor is good. But how often does even the fastest of wingers score full lengthers? But how often do they need to carry,tackle,descision make. In fairness to michaels,some of his finishes in recent weeks have been tremendous
people talk of this naughty step. Players that have been on it have earned it.

I can't believe that you really believe this.
Name a worse coach in superleague, ( I have to admit Betts & Harris are probably as bad)

Radford had a convo with crooks. Said he thought he was 2yrs away. He didnt like that so buggered off. If he comes good next year thats 2yrs.
radford gave him every chance in the last year. Only thing he couldnt do was make the tackles for him,or carry the ball stronger,or make less errors.
Gentle created a system to protect him and utilise his attacking skill. Tied up 2 other players though who played purely to provide and protect him.
Radford didnt believe that was realistic. So when back to conventional methods crooks was exposed.

They are not in Super League at it stands.

Radford is, of course. Just lucky.

You can't believe that I believe that Powell is probably a better coach than Radford? Maybe your comprehension skills need a brush up.

I use the phrase 'quite probably' because matches between the two sides this season have been shared 50/50 and the loss on Friday was down to errors by some individual players rather than one side being coached better than the other. I don't think Powell is as good as some seem to think TBH. And just being a bit better than Radford does not make him 'one of the best coaches in SL'. It's a low bar.

Yay, another Radford thread.

I like Michaels. His improved form has felt like we've made a mid-season signing. I'm happy to have him for another year.

And I think he's quick.

His improved form may be due to having a proper centre inside him. And yes he is quick and he's a good defender too.

People who already have their set agendas will blame Radford for anything and everything, no matter how stupid it makes them look. For what it's worth, Michaels has got better and better as the season has gone on. And Watts has really bloomed under Radford's coaching. However, I do think there are players like Westerman and Thompson that have either stagnated or gone backwards. I think it's important to not be blind to the successes though, and not exclusively point out the failures.

I expect him to be very good.

And I think it offers a different look to our team. Everyone in the league has known how to defend against Yeaman for nearly a decade. Having Logan there, despite his relative inexperience, will create doubt in the minds of defenders and create a little extra space and time for him and his winger.

Does anyone know if Logan is okay after Friday? It'd be nice to see those two continue to develop their partnership.

That's partly why Crooks started so well. Teams had never played against him. Watching him on video is nothing like playing against someone new, and they soon worked him out, like most other players, to a degree, I guess.

you mean when you respond to posts simply with the word Rubbish, and then vanish when pushed to ask why its rubbish.

He'll be the same as when he left us. An instinctive attacking player with poor physicality, and poor defense. Not too dissimilar to Craig Hall but with less pace, and probably slightly less adventurous.
