We play really boring uninspiring rugby so the fans get fed up and start to call for the coach to sort it out or go. The coach eventually appears to change philosophy with the game plan and we start to play some attractive rugby and get some results and apparently this means the fans were wrong to ever question the coach in the first place. I'll leave you to decide just how dumb that is.
Maybe Radford's learning. Listening is an important leadership attribute.

We passed the ball around, had some set moves, looked like we could score.
I am also in the unconvinced camp about Radford at the moment. That said yesterdays approach to the game was a million miles away from the performances we saw against hkr and Hudds. Away wins at St's and Wire, 6 wins out of 7 games.
Have we turned the corner? I suppose next Friday at home to St's will tell us ?
Big game Friday with a tough part of the season coming up for us. Win and we're only 4 points behind saints with a game in hand. Without walsh they've looked distinctly average with ball in hand and I see no reason we won't win if we defend as we can. We need to be vigorous and aggressive in defence and the game is there for the taking IMO. Win and we're in with a decent shout of the 8, lose and we're back in the mire.

Good post. The most frustrating/telling thing for me has been our lack of doing some really basic things well. Makes me wonder what has actually made the difference? Find it hard to believe it's simply down to a team meeting. Surely something has changed with the training, tactics or game plan?

As Peter Sharp has been visiting our training facilities recently,I wonder if Radford has received some advice for improving our attack prep..
Great to hear, that we seem to have employed a Sports Psychologist..
I really hope, we dont sink back into old habits of the boring RL ,that was served up previously...

Would love to have sharp back as head coach. He'd be great with the current owner

He had to deal with Cooke legging it,Swain leaving,Kings fondness for a tipple and replacing a half back and seemed as though he had a running battle with the board and a horrendous injury list.
