Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

There were a few who would hear no bad word said, and blamed everyone else. The biggest problem now is Pearson cannot win, sack Radford and he has gone back on his word, keep him on and, quite possibly, be battling it out to stay in the league.
Our one and only hope, and it's a slim one, is that Lee is a man of his word and walks.

| Quote ="Mr. Zucchini Head"You're obviously forgetting that it's Gentle and McRea's fault that we are where we are. You know, those guys that signed all those average players on big contracts and got us a trip to Wembley, two 6th place finishes and two playoff wins. We might be bottom of Superleague in 4 hours time but at least we've now got rid of all that rubbish and put a good squad together now.
Tbh that is the worst thing about Pearson's time here. Gentle (and to a lesser extent McRea) had done a decent job and we were showing signs of being a force again. Pearson made a mistake, and rather than holding his hands up and saying he got it wrong he has just hidden behind the excuse that it's all their fault, and stuck the knife in at every possible opportunity. Worse still some people have lapped it up.
I don't care if guys like Pitts, Arundel and Miller were earning more than they were worth. That team was competitive. What is the excuse now?'"
Agree with that - and I've not changed my mind since Gentle's exit. But I think Gentle was more sinned-against than sinner - however always was wary of McRae and his smooth tongue, he is a heaven-sent commentator but in practical matters all he touched seemed to crumble. Rabbitohs, anyone? But Pearson trusted him from the first time round when he was viewing McRae from the soccer-side of the wall. I maintain McRae was the mistake, not Gentle.
So who stuck the knife in first? I'm sure as hell it wasn't Pearson. | | | |

What is McRea supposed to have done that was so bad? We made some signings that ended up not working, but hindsight is wonderful, I don't recall too much complaining from the fans when we made these signings. And the fact of the matter is that, failures or not, those players were part of a team that performed much better than Radford's squad.

I was happy to give him a chance, but his interview and press comments since Friday are beyond comprehension. We were clueless and only got close due to Wigan being equally inept. I have given up on him and want him out. Nice guy but no way is he a SL coach, the sooner he goes the better.

Make Radford assistant coach to a proven one. If we'd lost that first game at Huddersfield, we'd be staring down the barrels already.
Wigan were there for the taking. I don't buy the injuries bollokks nowadays. The personnel we had on there Friday night were enough.

Bloody hell don't take our only win away from us. To be fair IF we'd won the 2 games we lost by a point and IF Lineham's try had been awarded at Salford we'd be 4th
