What are you on about? Nobody is saying give him a job for life FFS or even a five year contract just that sacking him at the end of the season would be crazy.

The club learnt the hard way after prematurely getting rid of a great coach in Peter Sharp after a poor start in 2008 despite a brilliant 2006 and a top four finish in 2007 despite losing Cooke and Swain mid-season. Sharp had earnt the right to have a full season to turn things around but the club got rid and things got a lot worse.

Spot on.

The main reason Sharp left was he gave certain people running the club at the time a piece of his mind.

For me Sharp was the best coach this club has had and he stuck to his morals and principles which may well have cost him his job but not his reputation as a top coach.

On LR he deserves the chance to right the wrongs but fir me what is concerning is the constant repeat of the same mistakes and poor basics.
He also really needs to look at bringing in someone from outside the club with experience as an attacking coach. We need to be able to vary our game with us far to static and reliant in Sneyd and predictable.
Our recruitment this season looks to be average at best and retaining all of Mini, Manu & Washy is a massive error.

Masi is only a year younger than Luke Thompson at saints and watch him ,masi doesn't break the line has no leg drive when meeting defence and often ends up stood still that's ok if your gonna try to offload the ball but he never does.
Fash and masi hardly took any drives versus rovers and were happy to be dummy (option) runners
Green hasn't developed and has stood still last cpl of years bit of a passenger when he's not unfortunately injured

For all we know Taylor signed his contract months ago and its only just been announced due to our recent form. and now IF radders is leaving it has caused some unrest amongst the players.

I'm not saying the rumour is true and personally hope its not as I believe he has earned the right to start next season in charge,

sack him on what reason, winning the cc twice, finishing 3 twice, finishing 6th when other teams like wires and leeds who have had bad injuries all year have finished bottom 4, seemingly given the club a good culture, ?

It’s hard to judge the season due to the injuries we’ve encountered.
What the injuries can’t do though is mask any shortcomings we’ve shown.
Attacking structures definitely need tweaking. I’d use the remaining games to try some things out attacking wise.
Also the retention’s are something I’m not sure about. Radfords proved his doubters wrong many times over the last few years, and maybe this will be the case again.
Still think we’ll see one or two coming in, with a few leaving.

Players out of contract at the end of the year have to be told by the 1st of May what, if any, new contract is to be offered to them.
It's good for the players, but makes life difficult for the club when form dips towards the end of the season.

To be fair, on a night like Friday, with a greasy ball, it was never going to be fast hands type of rugby.

I think too many are placing too much emphasis on who the opposition were rather than looking at the bigger picture. The stark reality is that this season was just about blown apart in May with the amount of long term injuries we have had to endure. This factor alone should tell you that judging Radford on the teams performances is not a fair reflection on his ability to get a team ready when we have had so many out for so long. For me, Radford should be allowed to start 2019 with a clean slate, BUT we must see improvement in our ability to compete and take advantage of field position.

It does seem a bit baffling that Mini, Manu and Washbrook have all been retained. I'd like to see a few more shipped out and a monster forward signed. IMO the only young forwards who have done enough to suggest they can cut it at SL level are Matongo and Lane. Downs and Fash both will give you 100% but I feel they are not adding to the team.

Whilst a petty response ill ignore that to say this.

Was signing nobody a better option ?

Congratulations.
You are entitled to ignore what the fook you want.
I was just trying to make the point that Ellis is virtually irreplaceable.
Some of the kids might look up to the likes of Mint and Tag.
The kids, senior players, coach, and his staff, and our owner, all looked up to Ellis.

Is that the correct quote and context though? I heard the interview stuck in the traffic leaving the ground and it seemed he was more bothered with the sidewards movement with no go forward which blighted the first half display in particular. That such noted defenders as Crooks and Hall were untroubled by it suggests it certainly wasn't what Radford wanted or had planned and I can understand his frustration at those poorly executed plays.

As expected another well known Radford hater is giving it big on the Gaurdian match report. Radford has apparently taken Hull backwards now - must be true because we all remember all those trophy's that poured in before Radford took over.

…. including "fluffing" the treble in 2016.

Maybe bonaire should join him.

Congratulations to Halifax and Richard Moore a great achievement reaching the top four, on a budget presumably a lot less than the other three. Nice to see a club from the heartlands still fighting.
