Now the dust has settled/settling we all need to be objective. By ALL i mean the entire club; chairman to staff to players to fans.



The result today, whilst excellent was not deserved. The first 60 minutes was to similar to Widnes and our attack was all to similar to the previous 3 seasons. As an avid fan of over 30 years, I'm a little frustrated at continuously saying our club is in 'transition.'

I do not want to come across as pessimistic (overly), but where is our season going? The next 4 games are; Warrington, St Helens, Leeds & Huddersfield. On that performance i struggle to see us gaining more than 2 points, at most.



But who is to blame? It has to be Radford. This is his team, his philosophy, his coaching, his personnel. Radford has a win percentage of 40%!!!!

Gentle - 56%

Agar - 48%



So why in Gods name are we sticking with Radford?



Another issue i have is our recruitment. I do not want to come over as a smart ass but before he signed i watched a lot of Pritchard i said he was average at best, or at least not worth such a hefty salary. In fact, i believe he has regressed since his Bulldog days and his waistline has significantly increased. But this is the management's fault, and not the first time they have allotted such a salary cap proportion on players without necessarily improving results, i could name, Berrigan, Westerman, Holdsworth, Long. Whilst these are very good players, they didn't improve results. So what is the issue!!!!!

So you admit the strategy was wrong from the outset, the strategy whatever it was left us 20 points behind without us scoring. That's a hell of a plan! Why did it take so long to change things if it was patently obvious that that wasn't working?

The players are clearly not happy with the focus being on defence and that shows. That we have gone downhill under Radford defensively alludes you, as the Salford, Catalans and the last 20 mins Friday shows, we are much happier with a more open style of play (that doesn't mean chuck It about every set). The Cas, Wigan and Wakey game we looked completely different different, that's down to the coach surely or are you nasing everything that's crap on the players and everything great on the coach?

I implore Radford to grasp what works for us best, what will it take for him to do so as he's had several examples to give him some clues.

Who said that?

This is quite possibly the biggest load of rubbish I've ever seen you post. Which is going some, frankly.

Don't worry Kosh. I'm sure he'll be back with even more ludicrous stuff very shortly.

Pritchard was not even the standout back rower of the Bulldogs last season according to Phil Gould. That honour went to Josh Jackson who was named in Gould's NRL team of 2015. Gould considered 8 players for the 2 positions and Pritchard was not included.
