From my perspective, AP funds the club exceptionally, training facilities, cryogenics and spends to full cap. Full accountancy aside, which is probably due to the fact that the business side is run on skinny staffing. It’s the performances on the pitch that I just can’t get my head around. Beaten by Hudds. twice, Rovers twice, Salford at home, mauled by Wire, Saints and Hudds. abjectly. Lee Radford has to shoulder the blame, as he has stated, he can’t t get to the bottom of it, that’s his job and if he is incapable of doing it, as he also stated earlier, he should walk. By the way, you don’t have to be an accountant to work out the maths, that, if we had won the games we were capable of doing so, ie. Rovers, Hudds. and Salford, we’d be untouchable in second place. Our coach now says, Cas away becomes the start of knock out rugby, due to his ineptness. I was under the impression that Super League was knock out rugby from day one, after all they are termed weekly rounds. Six weeks ago we were riding high having beaten Leeds at Headingley for the first time in 14 seasons and one game away from another Wembley appearance but again the season has fizzled out. Why fans don’t understand mine and others frustration at abject performances and abject coaching leaves me even more frustrated. AP is lucky to have this club and it’s fanbase, most of us will still roll up and get our passes but if he can’t see what’s happening on the pitch is slowly eroding that loyalty and act to stop it, he’s not the business man I thought he was. Make no mistake, Ian Watson would have had this club at Wembley and vying for Old Trafford but we’re going around with Lee again, same old, same old.

You can see by the way we set up in attack , Radford’s ineptitude. Our ball movement is woeful. Stand still and pass seems to be our style ! But Radford has done it again. Run off to Pearson and asked for money to spend ! He should be held accountable for the poor recruitment for this season. Ratu apart , where are the others ? What spell has Radford got Pearson under ? Other Coaches with Radford’s league record would have gone.

Very unlikely, but it’s a fair point, amazingly we still have the opportunity to do something this season. Rockets up arses required rapid

but that is the point "moments", we lack creativity, Houghton is solid but has poor distribution, Kelly is injured more often than not (and if he seriously thinks he'd get an NRL gig he is taking some very potent tablets), Connor isn't a halfback as long as I have a hole in my backside, Radford wants a crash bang wallop side, I want entertaining.

I hear you, but it frustrates me (actually that's probably a bit strong) that people slate Radford/the club for poor recruitment and form all pre season, then slate him for disappointing end to the season, but don't give him any credit for getting to the point of being in the mix, despite this poor recruitment - none of the act of getting us to the brink of the playoffs is down to him apparently.

We have stumbled to 5th position in about the worse quality of rugby league seen in many a year In being 5th we were utterly spanked at Magic and many many other matches You’re right , LR is responsible

Haven't you managed to poach Bellamy for us yet? I thought you mixed with all the Melbourne shakers and rollers?
