What I cannot get my head round is how Wigan and Leeds in particular are able to play such expansive rugby, because I don't believe that comes from Wane or McDermott? If that is the case, then is has to come from either an 'attacking coach' or the senior players?
Take Leeds, who dictates the play on the pitch - Sinfield all day long for me (in recent years), I wouldn't be surprised if he is directly involved in training in terms of attacking ideas and plays?
So if we haven't got an attacking coach, then surely someone like Pryce could bring a lot to the table in terms of ideas and suggestions? Is he not doing this? Or is he not being allowed too by LR? (my way or the highway).
Cannot expect a lump like Lee Radford to suddenly come up with a master attacking playbook? He wasn't that type of player. The good things FC do are all typical of LR, but good coaches have more in the locker than just getting the team to work hard, they are students of the game, they adapt to change, not afraid to try new things, and listen to advice.
I see none of this at FC.
If you watch all the top teams, particularly when attacking the near the line, the scrum half or stand off is at first or second receiver at the play of the ball EVERY time, demanding the ball, directing the team, calling the shots, making the decisions and ultimately calling the plays?
I don't see that here, most of the time its a final front or second row carry and charge. So either the players are incapable (not good enough) or being told not too and dare not suggest different?
I think Sneyd and Pryce need more freedom to express themselves and Pryce in particular should be advising LR - maybe his and we are still turd!!

Heard a rumour last night that Mally Walker has sold Victoria Plumb. The obvious jump from this to Hull FC was also mooted. Perhaps this is why we appear to be seeing no action from Adam despite the pressure to do so?
He's sold 49% of it, he doesn't want to be any part in the clubs future, shame really.

He's no idiot he's a business man & he openly says he loves our club, so I will support what he does for them, not what so called fans think they know how to run a club, & throw out whoever is to blame because over the last year we haven't been called the entertainers.
pearson knows knack all about RL and if he were that great a businessman he'd never have bought our club.
I don;t know why he chose radford. I suspect radford was in his ear about gentle and his faults and that made him prime candidate to replace hi. What due diligence did pearson do before appointing him? Who else did he ask for an opinion? Who else did he interview for the position? I'd suspect none of them were done which is why we're in the mess we are.
I can understand your loyalty to your cuz but he isn't experienced enough to be head coach of any SL side
My loyalty is with my club, & you are just assuming LR played a part in gentles departure & AP didn't try to employ any other head coach, trouble is you don't know any facts, so you post on here things you think happened, how do you know AP knows nothing about RL? I would say he knows more then us after all he runs a club, we don't.

You would say this but others wouldn't, & just because we are fans of the club, what do we know? I personally will stick with him & not the odd poster on here who judge people who they know nothing about or the resources & hard work they are putting in, after all this board has no bearings on the clubs decisions or future.

I would say anyone who appointed lee radford as head coach of a SL side knows knack all about RL
