Presume you meant wouldnt





Is he though? (as in Motu)



This season Sika Manu has been good in patches but bad in others



Tuimavave is - Ben Crooks was/is better, so is Yeaman (even in his old age), Whitings 10X the player



Pritchard is throwing his weight around (and theres a lot of it) like the big i am, cost us the Cas game, gets dropped, Shite against Widnes



All three arnt performing consistently with the last two being the worst of all.

Maybe all would perform better under a differant coach, differant structures. No doubt all have talent

Pritchard and Manu are good players being played wrongly. Tuimavave is cack

Carlos Went ok against Inu & co iirc. But who's Inu eh?

Its Rugby League and like any sport impossible to perform at a high level consistantly.

Ben Crooks is getting the benefit playing in a side that is very well coached and plays expansive rugby.

Manu is playing too many continuous minutes, just like Mini last season.That needs to change and is one part of Radfords poor interchanges recently.

Pritchard is an impact player and needs to come on with Ellis after 20 mins not used as a starting forward.

Dont agree with you about Tiumavave.He is currently playing out of position at centre but was outstanding in the first two matches.

With Pryce out and Tiumavave at 6 you will see a player who can kick well,produce the telling pass and attack the line.

We are all bitterly disappointed about the recent results but its not time to panic into making wholesale changes.

When Fonua is back he should be played now at Centre and maybe for the Wakefield game bring Dean Hadley in as his defence is better than Thompson and move Michaels to centre and bring Naughton or Lancaster in on the wing

Pritchard was fine against Widnes - ran a lot of carries and made good yardage on most. It's a shame that our acting half and half backs don't use him on the dummy run more often because he sucks in plenty of defenders every time he makes the run.



Why have I got this image in my mind of you booing Steve Kearney ?

No thank, I'm sleepy enough tonight

Geoff Toovey? Ivan Cleary? Unrealistic? - we always assume so, but do we ever ask?

Both are kicking their heels at the moment.

Peter Gentle, got an injury hit team (that wasnt his own) to 5th in his first season, 6th and a final in his second despite being slagged off left right and centre and undermined/stabbed in the back by those around him.

I'm sure he could do something similar for us here and with the squad we have now maybe even better than his last appointment

Don't know if the owner has heard of him though.



Seriously though if Radford gets an extension on his contract at any point in the next 4 months then I'd have doubts over APs mental stability.

If we are realistically out of touch of reaching the top four come the 8s and are out of the cup then Radford should go before the next game is played and a new coach for 2017 sought.

My own personal opinion is that the owner should be looking now for a replacement coach as the one we have still shows no sign having the skillset to be a successful professional RL coach.

Toovey could well be the answer

We finished 6th both seasons, Gentles recruitment cost him his job IMO.

What are you basing Tuimavave on? Was great in the first two games and did Ok in the other 3, whilst being quiet, certainly hasn't looked poor.



You can't blame one player for the Cas defeat, if you do, you clearly can't haven't watched the game, mistakes by various players including Talanoa, Watts and Pryce. Pritchard didn't have a bad game against Widnes, he worked hard and still isn't used right.



Manu has been good in all games, plays too many minutes though, so like Mini last year can get sloppy in defence, I'd move him into the middle and have Ellis defending out wide.

Personally think we was doing well under Gentle and he deserved more time. Our recruitment has been better since then under Radford and Tony but on the pitch performance hasn't improved IMO and I would argue that for the most part we've looked worse.

You have to wonder who is to blame Mcrae or Gentle for signing players like Pitts and Arundel on big contracts?



The biggest worry for me is that Gentle wanted rid or to replace Shaul and Lineham, although you could say the same about Radford with a few of the younger players.
