| Quote ="Jake the Peg"It was a general comment on your post, nothing at all to do with Radford. The suggestion that people should back a coach just because he's trying hard is a stupid one. I have my reservations about us appointing another inexperienced coach as it isn't what the club has needed since 2006 IMO. I also have concerns about a coach who players are openly calling "radders" as I don't think you can be mates with people and effectively manage them.
I have always thought he'll make a good coach but I think it's too soon form him, the job is too big for an inexperienced coach and he's too close to the current group of players.
Having said all that, I hope my concerns don't come to pass and that he proves he is the man for the job'"
you are right with what weve had since 2006 experience would be greeted with open arms, but we will haveto support what weve got, imo, LR will be nothing but professional with his squad when needed at the right times but hes played with most of them so there going to be close, he coached me but when he kicked off in his times of need we knew about it and we knew he wasnt a mate but he did it to makes us better to compete and win and that is what is the difference between a pushover coach and a top coach and given time he will be that, imho

It's not a fact. It's an opinion.

Theres also a gulf between getting the best from an amateur team and being able to get the best from a set of top flight professionals. A good kick up the backside often is the difference at lower levels in all sports whereas at the elite level dealing with often temperamental players and players of different cultures the margins are much finer and need to be dealt with very differently.

| Quote ="Hullandproud"Wire. Are you sure? While I was at the Grand Final, we were having a discussion about Wire players in the 17 who came through the system. So I asked a wire fan at half time. The answer was 2. That is appalling, Moran has been putting loads of money in for years, surely they should have more home grown players'"
Riley
Harrison
Wood
Cooper
Even briers at a push
Who was you talking to Stevie wonder?

| Quote ="MrPhilb"Wigan, Wire and Leeds all have top quality young kids coming through, still IMO the three teams you need to beat if you want to win anything. Saints again, have good youngsters coming through and have added some real quality. Hudds have added Broughton today to an already strong settled squad. These are big clubs, the teams to beat.

The incorrect point you was trying to make was about the "top five" having great youth coming through. Wood is a veteran at the end of his career, and Briers came through the Saints youth system. If you are going to talk such , at least justify it with facts.

I wasn't trying to make any point infact I never even made the first post you quoted
He said only 2 of the 17 at the grand final came through the Warrington system. I said it was 4 and you could even include briers at a push

Love to know how, he signed from Saints when he was 19, so never played for any Warrington Youth teams, how could he have come through the Warrington System? He even played a few games for Saints first team.

He's had no previous head coaching experience, had a very short 'apprentiship', and was player at the club on a few years ago. He's taking over a club that has been mediocre for the past 5 years with a small squad.
I admire your optimism but smart money says he will struggle.

That's one thing I don't think, FC having a small squad.

| At least we are going into the next chapter in our history with our eyes wide open.
In hindsight the indulgent hysteria that surrounded PG's appointment was a little OTT.
He was unproven and ultimately disappointing.
Radders gets every opportunity.
He'll go the same way as PG if he's cack.
