| Quote Doom&Gloom Merchant="Doom&Gloom Merchant"A public petition calling for the man to lose his job and made up libellous comments regarding him being a bully (see the moderators comments from a couple of weeks ago) - yeh, you do have a personal vendetta, what else is it? As for calling me a troll, that's rich. Is that because I've outed you as the troll you are, so you call me one back? Very school yard of you Bumpy.
Anyway, enough of feeding the troll - Radders. He and Tony inherited an absolute mess in terms of salary cap management and the squad they were left with. It's taken them a couple of years to sort out and ship out the idiots, but it's now there's, it's his team, no excuses on that front.
Our attack, baring the end of last season, has been very poor. But let's not forget our defence was very good last year, and we were right at the top of the stats for offloads, meters made, tackle busts etc. We were capable of getting the ball into the danger zone, just terrible at converting that pressure into tries. Not [ieverything[/i was as terrible as we think last year.
Fast forward to this season, we've made some brilliant signings and worked very hard at fixing that attack, whilst maintaining the good points from last year I've just mentioned.
It's a great start, credit to him and everyone else at the club.'"
Sounds about right to me, well said Mr D&G |

| Quote knockersbumpMKII="knockersbumpMKII"The proof of the pudding will most definitely be in the eating. If we don't make at least top 4 or the CC final it's a failed season and Radford should go. That's the players view too (regrding where we should be) as reported in the HDM.
As I said previously if Radford can't get some sort of success with this squad then he'll never do it as comparatively we have one of the very best squads and deffo best pack in SL and should be challenging for silverware.
So far so good and he gets my backing, if we fall short again by season end then he has to go because there are no excuses this year.'"
Loving the positive take Bumpy, keep it going pal till the seasons end. |

Love the post from Norman Stanley Fletcher: trying to be ironic and hit the nail on the head.

Your point being?
If we fail yet again with the best squad in a dogs age then that's down to the coach no? What would be the point keeping a coach whom fails even with the very best of all situations, or are you hapoy ti give Radford more latitude than the ridiculous scenario with Agar?
That's all moot as we are going great guns at the moment and he gets my resolute support, but 5th or 6th doesn't cut it...not by a long stretch and to think otherwise is ridiculous given what tools Radford has being given..I suppose you think 5th is okay progress though...good grief! |

You would make a great politician. You have a way of manipulating words and bending them to your agenda. Always the sly dig or putdown in a very clever way.

Let's give Radders some credit. He has got his team selection spot on this season, with the inclusion of Gareth Ellis on Saturday for the unfortunate Chris Green a telling point in Saturdays win in Perpignan.
Ellis was awesome, a magnificent first game back from an injury which could have been career ending.
He has got a good squad this season, but surely some of the credit must also go to Radders, along with Motu Tony, for the assembly of the 2016 squad and also apparently having got rid of the "bad apples" - players who didn't want to toe the line?.
The atmosphere and team spirit around the Club seems to be first class, and seems to have everybody singing off the same hymn sheet.
Let's get behind the boys (and Radders) starting with the game against Cas on Thursday week and hope we get over 12K in the ground.
In Radders we believe!!!

The very best of all situations? It's a good squad but we're hardly Wigan in the 90's.
The consensus on here before the season started was that 6th and a good cup run would represent progress. We win our first two games and suddenly it's 4th or the CC final?
Your entire post is just you putting together a set preconditions that will allow you to pi$$, moan, and call for Radfords head if even the slightest misfortune comes our way. |

So, say we get dram away to Wigan / Wire / Leeds and then face Saints in the semi.
Is it reasonable to suggest we SHOULD win those, should the luck of the draw go against us?
We have no idea what will happen player injury wise. |

What is all this about?? here we are watching the best Rugby played for years with our best squad for years and regardless what poeple think put together by a coach who has created the best culture we have had for years and here we are saying what should happen if we fail to get in top 4.What I see is so called fans who just cannot except what is happening because they said it would not under Radford . Yes without doubt we have the look of a side who should be top 4 but there are many sides out there who are more than capable of stopping us. To say radford should be sacked if we dont is a absolute joke coming fron those who just want to see him fail ,FANS i dont think so.I think its about time some one created a "so called fans forum".To even talk about all the negatives at this moment in time is a disgrace .It seems that certain people want to see us fail and its really pathetic
