I am sure like us Radford was banging his head thinking why are they playing like this it not what we talked about but finally he got the message across and they threw it about.
Why didn't he get the message across earlier I hear you post, well maybe it's got something to do with players being under pressure on the field and just not doing what they planned.

What conspiracy theories have been aired on this thread, as FACTS?
People are questioning the possible reasons for the clear difference in the quality of play in the last quarter, who instigated it and what the answer to the latter question infers. Entirely reasonably, given the fact that what we saw on the pitch yesterday is a reflection of the whole season in reverse. Our season has been the epitome of the sublime to the ridiculous. Yesterday's match was the ridiculous to the sublime.
Many fans will want to examine the reasons underlying that, and it's reasonable to use the platform of a rugby league discussion forum to do so without being labelled a 'conspiracy theorist'.

Does it?
All it tells us is that Watts sometimes tries to offload when he shouldn't (which we've all seen) and the coaches tell him not too. This time he was too conservative and the coaches told him to open up a bit. It says nothing at all about his general form this season.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

Cause it does, watts as been to told to reign it in, he's basically not off loaded all season, we've all seen that. He hasn't been no way as good as last season , when presumably wasn't told to reign it in. Why even tell him reign it in the first place if hasn't told the team to be more conservative. Anyway, we've differant conspiracy theories on the reasons, just hope we can take that last 20 into Monday and the players don't ignore the coach and take it upon themselves to play conservative

Watts has offloaded plenty this season. One such memorably lost us the game against Wigan if you recall. The exact phrase used - jokingly - was 'we usually have to tell him to reign it in'. Not 'we tell him not to offload at all' or 'we've told him never to offload'.
You also need to consider that you can only offload if someone is there to receive it, and our support play has been notably lacking for the past few games.

I wouldnt say plenty, and id say its more in panic then a expansive structured game plan. I just find it hard to believe that we train all week to play a non conservative game. Then the players go on the pitch, ignore the coaches instructions, ignore everything theyve trained all week for. Then in the last 20 mins of a game we are 20 nil down in, decide to play how the coach wants us to, or that suddenly confidence had returned.really enjoyed yesterday, just want more of that last 20 mins win or lose
