Comments like that are very worrying and shows the mindset of the club in a really poor light imo. Great teams believe they can and will win regardless of the situation. They often don't of course, but that belief will take you a long way.

To me saying things like that is just giving everyone an excuse. You may aswell tell the players that it doesn't matter what you do today because we can't win anyway.

Of course we will be better when we have a full strength team available, but it's likely that we won't get our best 17 on the field all season. We need to be adaptable and focus on getting the best out of what we do have available rather than bemoaning who we don't have available. Blaming injuries all the time just isn't good enough.

Personally, after watching the Leeds game, I felt our attack had a lobotomy, as it was
sharp,organised & clinical (Purtill's influence in attack?). The KR game we were more patient, and ran out to be deserved winners.
I personally didnt expect a win against Saints or Wigan, but I didnt expect to revert to the same mundane,clueless efforts in attack..

The top clubs, have a specific playing structure in place, if a player(s) is missing, the team doesnt lose its style,nor lose the basics of a RL team to perform.

Some fans will blame the HB's, but for mine, the whole team lacks cohesion and unity in attack..

GroundHog Day over and over again, new playing personnel, but the team ethic stays the same.

Maybe now, Purtill has been told to devote less time to coach our attack, and work with the Reserves more, the recent performances in attack, suggest this is maybe the case.. -IMO

Does anyone think that we consistently look like a well coached team?

Nope, I don't think we do at all. We still seem to lack any other plan than plan A. Power & Strength and when that isn't working or we can't go with that plan due to personnel missing we have no other plan and if we do we have seen little evidence of it as we just can not adapt.

I dont think this boring percentage rugby Radford plays helps either. It relies on 100% focus and an ability to grind teams down so as a team were playing the long game all the time. In every single game this year weve started slowly (and i think gone behind first every time) as Radford thinks over the course of the eighty we'll grind the oppo down and win. But it isnt working. Wouldnt it be nice to see an FC team come out on fire right from the start for a change?

Taylor in his article references lack of unity in attack. We have just had 4 months to get this right, and we still haven't. Poor coaching

A few bodies back this week including Satae,who when looking at his stats,has been severely missed.Kelly available,and hopefully Carlos,Savelio back too.Ratu will still be missing so expect Fonua to move to the wing outside of Carlos,unless Connor is moved from the 6 position to accommodate Kelly

I wander what all the new signings think of the coaching??

They are not impressed.

Ma'u is actually fit but refusing to play and Sao is in negotiations to have his contract terminated by mutual agreement.

This is the excuse culture at the club. Too easy to blame someone else for defensive lapses or errors or indiscipline

...ok to blame Radford, it seems.

Well I don't think it's the fans that are to blame. Although Radford has tried that one aswell.

2 matches ago we was top of the table. 2 matches later we want the coach sacked lol. I agree if we get our full team out or near enough and we still struggling then yes he is in danger
