I read Paea was our marquee player, as he failed to play the minimum
number of NRL games to attain a UK Visa...only way, was to pay him a massive salary,which would satisfy criteria for UKBA to give him a UK Visa..

For mine, Paea,Green ,Westerman,Abdull should go..

For mine, Shaul is the best support FB in SL, but... needs upskilling to be a creative FB, if not he should be moved to the wing.. and play Connor at FB.. We are only playing with 2 pivots,which restricts our attack.. other teams have 3 pivots..

We need a skills coach to be added to the backroom staff, to make the team more cohesive in attack, instead of a 'Sneyd speculative kick' or an off the cuff play.

As AP alluded to signings are completed in June, so its debatable IF any quality is available..

Going forward... as a Manager Lee Radford has allowed apathy to creep in ,and is unable to stem the tide.the worrying situation is...

Can the owner keep ripping up contracts, (if this situation rears its ugly head again),which is a massive financial risk to the club??

Shaul is nowhere near the best support full back in SL he’s not even the best support full back in Hull

Because LR likes a '3rd prop' in the middle, using Westy alters our style of structure..

only my opinion though...

Agree think Gelling will come in and Griffin will go.

I'd release Talanoa, Paea and Abdul

I think we need a prop, bsvkrower and possible a back, depending on if we play Connor at FB

I'd like to see a side something like this

Connor
Faramino
Carlos
Gelling
Hakim/Shaul
Kelly
Sneyd

Taylor
Houghton
Bowden
Jones
Manu
Westy

New prop
Green or one if the young props
Mini
Litten


I’d release Shaul and play Connor at fullback, wouldn’t even think about playing Shaul on the wing! I’d also release Green, as he just can’t stay fit for more than a couple of games.
Most importantly though Radders or whoever the coach may be needs to move away from the idea of battering teams down the middle like we did in 2016. We don’t have the team for it anymore and playing congested is causing us major problems outwide too as we must get beat down the wings more than any other team in the league due to Faraimo and even more so Talanoa rushing in and constantly missing the tackle!

Everyone was raving about Griffin earlier in the season now he seems to be the scapegoat along with Abdul who has been thrown to the dogs now with this story coming out conveniently the day after a record defeat but 8 weeks after he put in the request

I would be so happy to see Gelling come in. However, Griffin was in our top 3 players before injury. Perhaps he's come back too early and is struggling.

All this from Pearson regarding binning players is bullshit its his way of trying to motivate the team. I believe that the reasons for the current situation is one or all of the following.
1. Radford only has one way of coaching (biff bash down the middle) and we dont have the team capable of that eg loss of Watts and older players being less effective

2. Number of key players injured and many currently playing who shouldn't because they are still injured and not fully fit.

3. Game plans when we get into opponents 20. We desperately need an attacking coach .

4. How the hell can you expect a bunch on generally intelligent human beings to put their neck on the line when there in bu!!er all to play for. All this crap about being pros and playing for the club and supporters will only go so far. RFL's fault for stupid system that nobody wanted.

5. The decision to bring players back early when we still had a chance of top 4 was right but those players are still not fit eg Tallanoa, Carlos, Manu, Mini , Griff.

6. Why the hell are players like Litten and Hakim not getting regular game time especially when Houghton has suffered with benefit season syndrome and its being obvious that Abdul wants away. Also why bin Turgutt before end of season should be still playing instead of injured players and then get rid season end.

7. Would imagine Radford is a bit of a bully and also has a sense of humour that not everyone will respond to.

There may well be other reasons which we are not aware of but cant see another win this season unless Pearsons threats work.

ROLL ON NEXT SEASON!!!!!!!

Warrington Fan coming here in Peace.

I was Sat in front of Adam Pearson on Thursday and at half time he Singled out Griffin and was Berating him from the stands . It was just a little odd ..

Do they have some Beef going on ?
