We'll thank you for finding the time to log on and tell us that. By the way, I'll take the Australian head coaches opinion over yours, if it's all the same.

Catalan game, Cas he showed glimpses, Salford & Hudds at home.
Don't worry though, he'll get forced out because he was Gentle's blue eyed boy and you and the other Wayne Bennett's can think you're right.

Miller needs to find a bit of Rankin's cockiness/energy/confidence/attitude.

As long as Radford plays those in form and drops players after a couple of bad performances then the team and club will benefit overall. That goes for any players in any position. As a fan it's best not to invest too much in any single player in my experience.

Agreed - the players know where they stand too and the coach can't be accused of having favourites.

Do we really think Radders or any coach in SL will not play a squad member because he dont like them? or he picks a team on what he sees fit for the game?
would AP let this happen?

Actually yes I do, I think it clouds your judgement.

Miller will get his chance though because it will be a massive surprise if Rich Horne makes it through the season fit, I just hope Miller doesn't feel deflated not playing and can be up for it when he gets his chance.

We don't want another Seymour

Thirded. Some of the blinkers worn by the odd few on here towards their favourites can only lead to disappointment and frustration. Bit worrying, the extent of some of it. (Is there a masculine equivalent of the word 'sapphic'?) You'll always get these endless unresolved arguments if people cannot remain objective. Just hope Radford can.

I gave up having favourites in the Sharks days. I bought a shirt and had Glen Tomlinson's name put on the back of it thinking he would be the half back we so desperately needed (sound familiar? ). Went to Knowsley Road and watched him go down with no one anywhere near him - his leg had shattered and I don't think he played again for us. That was it for me no more names or favourites

Well you are wrong, it is nothing to do with personal vendetta & more on ability, Radders would play anyone who is good enough & i know this for sure, would he play a player he does not see capable of doing a job for his team? which would make his own job look like he is not doing right? he will get a chance possibly through injury to another pivot, or if he shows signs of the player he was hyped up to be.

I take solace in the fact you disagree with me which guarantees I'm right

You're right, I have no rebuttal for your nonsensical post. I admire your man love for miller and westerman, misplaced as it is

we have been crying out for a coach who picks players on form not reputation when radders picks horne over miller (on form) everyone shouts get rid of miller. the season before last everyone was saying horne was past it and should be moved out... talk about kneejerk reaction

Not everyone. At the end of last year I said I was looking forward to seeing Miller after a full pre season. When he gets his chance (which he will) it's up to him to take it and I hope he does. I would have no problem with Miller and Rankin or Miller and Horne provided they were creating and scoring tries. As it stands the coach has gone with Horne and Rankin so let's see how they go. They were both a bit mixed in what was the first game of the season but each scored a try and set up others so in general were doing exactly what they are paid for. The problem as you say is when people take a view and then try and defend it in the face of clear facts. Inevitably things will change during the season.
