But Gentle took us to Wembley and despite an horrendous injury list at times we finished sixth.People may criticise some of the signings Gentle made but the Wembley appearance alone put a lot of money back into the club.
Radford has had his own squad this season, we struggled to make the top eight yet some fans seem to see that as progress.
its fine being competitive on the field but I want a coach who can see the deficiencies on the field and rectify them so that we fans can see progress on the field.I expect us to win matches whoever we are playing especially at home.
With Radford we have not seen progress.he is also guilty of false loyalty to certain players like Yeaman.
It has taken an injury to Yeaman and a young rookie with a bit of pace and good footwork to show just how poor he has been for most of the season yet Radford played him.That to me is not the sign of a good coach.
Whilst I will always support the club my opinion since his appointment has always been we will never be a top team with Radford in charge

To be clear, some fans see that as progress on [ilast year[/i. Which it is. I haven't seen a single poster suggest that this season represents progress over Gentle's last season - at most it's been suggested that we're about at the same level. However, there has been some interesting stats posted on our points return that indicates we could well end up with a superior return overall this season.

I never wanted Radford in the first place. I'm still of the opinion that we need a better coach. But he clearly is getting [isome[/i things right and not giving credit where it's due is plain dishonest IMO.

Seems about right and you have the nous to show a bit of honest objectivity.
Those who have railroaded themselves from the get-go haven't the same ability.

Mini has being superb, Pryce has exceeded what I thought he would do, Sneyd hasn't justified his £100k pricetag and whilst he has clearly done some brilliant stuff, he was average in the first half of the season and still his open field kicking isn't as good as expected.

Please name, names, frankly that's nonsense.

Seriously, there have being numerous games were we just folded, if we'd had the endeavor and heart shown as there was Friday we'd be in a much higher position than we are.

Again, this is complete & utter hogwash and totally unfounded

Yes, there is still negativity and do you know why? Because we are going to struggle to make the play-offs as we've struggled to get into the top 8, large parts of the season have seen us playing bang average attacking rugby and we've been consistantly inconsistant. The owner is merging our academy, we're losing yet another young/quality player, we've lost our talisman captain, probably permenantly.
But yeah, Radford is a fecking amazingly inspiring coach

Watched the match last night again yes sad I know. But Houghton never stopped it was amazing the effort and tackles he does. I knock westerman sometimes but likewise the bloke was all over the place . Thought Logan brought a lot of energy to the team often being firstup at chasing our kicks seems to have put a bit of pace on as well. Green was the other one who ran hard and straight. Anyway well done lads

Sneyd has been great without him we lose a few of the close games like Warrington, Wakey and Cas and finish outside the 8. Not everything he does comes off, but our most important player IMO.

Also I don't what his fee has to do with anything, money well spent anyway so far.

Sneyd is the best half back we have had for years. He does make mistakes and can be inconsistent but he can be brilliant too. He will only get better.

Dave is right about the fee. You don't hear people banging on about Westerman's fee.

How many games have we been carp in when sneyd has been missing? Winning at cas when he went off and lost, completely hopeless in the home derby, same against leeds in the cup and away at wakey. Any more? He just needs to find some consistency but we are much better with him in the team

There is something a bit fishy about this post.

Spot on.



I agree on this as well. I think the thing with Westy is that he's now been with us a few years and I think people tend to forget about fees over time so the same will happen with Sneyd. If you look back to when Westerman first joined us people probably judged him by his fee too. Not that they should've done (as they shouldn't with Sneyd) but I'd bet they did.
