Fair enough.

Still a lot of question marks in there though, aren't there? Based upon how they've played this year, several of those are the best of a bad lot even if we're being generous. Lineham hasn't played much but when he has hasn't looked great, I'd still like to see us with a better centre than Yeaman, Horne has been at least as poor as every other halfback we've had this year most of the time, Thompson has played mostly at prop, and Green is only 2 games into his season. Says a lot about the selection policy at the club that Tuson wouldn't be in there (and probably most fans' 17s) yet he's one of the first names on the team sheet every time he regains fitness.

Another thing that I personally think speaks volumes is the way almost all of the squad (individually as well as collectively) have played worse than we have previously seen them to be capable of. A handful of exceptions, but very worrying overall.

Unfortunately, the reality is that we are in effect the 3rd worst team in the competition. Last year we were the 6th best team and cup finalists. We haven't (as at week 21 of the season) discovered who our best starting 17 are. Some serious questions need to be asked of those responsible. Good supporters that we by and large are, our patience is not infinite and sooner or later that patience will disappear, as will many supporters. And who knows if they will ever return once that happens.

Agreed, we have nothing to lose by playing HTW alongside Abdul imo. Both offer more than anyone else we have available.

Our current incumbent halfbacks are the worst in living memory. Rankin and Miller are the worst signings imaginable, and directly responsible for the hole we are in now. The much maligned Holdsworth only played 22 games for us, but my god we was a better side with him in it.

Everyone is going on about how our squad is too good to be third from bottom, but our halves are the worst in the entire league, with the possible exception of London.

He hasn't the faintest idea what his strongest team is.

It will happen after the Cas game on Thursday

if not..... vs KR.

What he will resign? He will be here at the start of 2015.

I do hope you are wrong, but I fear you are not.

If that is the case,perish the thought,is it because pearson can't afford to get rid of him ?

No just he has always told him he will see out the full season.

then that makes Pearson a fool, I'd never tell any of my staff that they have a job regardless of performance, there would always be conditions of acceptable return.

Yes resign if not before then after the Castleford game.
The only way he will be here in 2015 is sitting in the stand as a spectator.
Pearson has gone to ground.Realises he has made a huge mistake now Sacking Gentle and appointing Radford.
Pearson already working on personal damage limitation and embarrassment so expect Radfords resignation in the press rather than sacking.

Despite saying he'd hold his hands up and walk away if he wasn't good enough?

wont resign -100k+ reasons why.
