I think most would concede that he's improved the quality of the squad, our attacking play looks to be in a better place, and team spirit is better. In the context of the negativity he's attracted thus far, maybe he deserves a little credit?

born in airlie str,1939.german landmine that fell on boulevard,also blew up half of our house.thats why i dont like germans.not because they blew our house and boulevard up,but because the gerry pillock was aiming for craven park.
You have to give credit to radford and all concerned for the way they've prepared the team pre season and for the first 2 matches. I personally believe getting rid of westerman was the masterstroke, just wished they'd it done 2 seasons ago. The recruitment looks outstanding, leaders all over the field, and a lot of very proffessional rugby league players, plus strength in depth. Hopefully radford as finished is apprenticeship, which shoudnt of been done whilst head coach of a super league team, it was at times unbearable. But signs are good, hes got his squad, full of true pro's, which i think has been his aim. Lets hope things continue in this manner win or lose, because I think Radford and this team could do something special this next few seasons, carry on with the style of rugby and the passion for the shirt, and the fans will come back. Its so so good been excited about watching the black and whites again

Pretty much the way I see it.

Definitely impressed with how he's got the lads playing this year. I know is early days but the signings he's made are all showing their value, including Washy who's signing drew mixed opinions. I give massive credit to Lee, Motu and Adam Pearson for getting these deals done. Obviously we still need to see how the season pans out and where we finish in the league, but for the start, and the style of rugby we are playing then he sure deserves some credit.

Hull will give us a tough game but the key is to silence their fans in the Threepenny Stand.We have to do this because if we do'nt they will get behind their side and lift them in a way you've never seen,heard or witnessed before.

You say Radford shouldn't have done his apprenticeship at the club, I disagree. I, and others argued that we needed somebody like Radford to sort the mess PG & SMc had left behind. I agree about the increased professionalism, but I think you're letting Lineham off the hook by only naming Westerman.

Hahaha I cant, ive been saying it for at least 2 seasons and no one would listen ha. And im not just on about his proffesionalism , he was poor for us season after season, and we made excuses for him, tried building a team around him, because of his so called potential!!! And its just never worked, its held us back for seasons. No radford shouldnt of been thrown in the deep end as head coach, season ticket sales and the past 2 seasons of awful rugby proof that. 2 games in and you cant but give radford credit for the performances, and long may that continue. You need to let the gentle thing go, he didnt do bad, and the way the team got rid of him was a disgrace

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand Workin' in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made black and white What's down in the dark will be brought to the light
