My second uncle's next door neighbour was.

What have you been smoking?

I said at the time that resigning Manu & Minichiello was a big mistake, now it is looking disastrous. 2 ageing imports on big money is wasting too much space on the cap.

My uncle(mum's eldest brother) was and survived but didn't in a later battle.

WE were told that losing in the CC would be a blessing as the time for rest would allow us to launch an assault on the GF
Enough is enough that’s for sure
In fact he should have gone back in 14-15 as all
The signs were there
Did we win the CC because of LR/AL or despite them ?

The Somme was a terrible battle and too important in our history to be made the subject of such remarks. You show no respect to the fallen and injured.

The Rhinos’ coach had won far, far more and look what happened to him.

I think a proven quality coach would implement his plan B if plan A was not working or even have a plan C. Radford seems incapable of looking beyond plan A. Yes he’s was successful with it for a couple of years. He does not now have the forwards to play the Bulls’ way.

A good coach makes the best of the players he had available and plays a systems that suits them not fit all players into his rigid system. Yes, the team has been depleted but in no shape or form has Radford got the best out of his players in recent matches.

Hard to defend Radford and the team after that, injuries have palyed a part this season, but that doesn't excuse this kind of defeat against what should have been a tired and deflated Warrington team, either the players playign aren't good enough or aren't motivated enough to try and win what they seem as a nothign game, I think it's the combination of both.

I still feel radford deserves another shot next season, the issue now is the lack of recruitment, IMO he has made a big mistake not makign any signings for next year and it seems he has given out contracts too early and the likes of Griffin and Carlos have relaxed.

I think the only thing that can save him is to make a couple of signings, which could involve some tough decsions and payign off players from Pearson, plus added to his coaching staff, I do wonder what impact Horne moving to Doncaster has had on the team.

Attendences for the last two games are going to be down and if we don't find a win somehow before the end of the year and we don't recruit, pass sales will also be down.

Soem big decsions for Pearson over the next few weeks.

Hopefully the cannon fodder will never ever be taken the p!ss out of in the same manner ever again.

sorry to hear that Freddie.you can be proud of him.i'm speaking as an ex serviceman.

I'm struggling to see how he can stay, he admitted in his interview last night he doesnt know how to get them out this mess.

Thank you for the challenge cups Lee (I believe you played your part and it was not in spite of you) but do the right thing and let us move on.

Everybody blame radders all you want but it's the shower of players that should be taking all the abuse .One or two of the forwards had a real dig but the rest ing joke , that has got to be the worst back line in superleague .Rant over and also my following FC for 40 years Fuck em.

If I ever had to bet on the major reasons we won the CC then I’d go this;

Ellis and Fonua made the team believe they could win any match with them in the team
Ellis carried all the pack motivationally and the backs adored Fonuas impact and plays

When you have men of steel and skill and power then the team can lift their own game immeasurably

To me that’s why and other people like LR AL L just managed the show

That’s my bet

This could be calmer for Radford, don't remember anyone blaming the players (well I did) for Gentles last game in charge. Maybe this is just the way players get rid of a coach at Hull

Culture at the club is wrong (again!) Radford said some of the younger players are happy not to be picked, while the senior players didn't perform either...feels like we are back having players who turn up when they feel like it, rather than the dedicated culture we've had for the last couple of years.
