I'm not in favour of getting rid of Radford just yet, but if Pearson did do a 180 on the subject our next coach HAS to be proven at SL/NRL level. Of everyone in SL I think i'd really only want Tony Smith.

How about Powell, or Morgan?? (learning under Bellamy)

not another inexperienced Head Coach, at this moment in time..

We need someone to radically overhaul, the training ,preparation, and coaching team.. placing all these things with an inexperienced coach, is a massive gamble, same with Agar Gentle and now Radford.

Agreed although as I said before the season started if the team is struggling after Easter then Pearson should act. Next three games very important.

Don't you feel a bit stupid now though? just a little

Been away for a few days and am just catching up.

Agree with the above and as some other contributers have said that it's all well and good trying produce your own but at the moment I'm afraid some that have come through are not SL standard with exception of Shaul, Langcaster possibly. Hard to see any of the others getting in any of the top teams and that's the standard they have to be. My worry is the age of the more experienced players so they are only a short term fix. We will have to do what Rovers have done and sign a new team in 2 to 3 years time.

Regards the coaching staff , they are as previously said too inexperienced and need a proven coach working with them. NOT Noble or Macca please. A Brian Smith or someone of his ability from the NRL to bring thier standards and fitness regimes and conditioning expertise.
I like someone else was surprised how Andy Last has become an assistant coach to the first team. Don't think he is good enough or got the experience. Wasn't good enough to become a first team player so fail to see how he can be good enough to be a first team coach.

Feel sorry AP for getting the stick he's getting. He at least feels passionately about the club and has put his money where his mouth is. I firmly believe he is trying to do what a lot of the fans would like to see happen to the club. He has invested heavily in the youth set up and given his coaching staff what they wanted. It hasn't work out yet and I'm as gutted as everybody else that we are not getting the results we'd hoped but I believe he is the kind of man that won't let things slide too far without taking action.

Having been a supporter for 63 years I've seen it all and despair that the last few years of changing coaching staff and players we've gone from challenge cup winners and grand finalists to where are now and quite honestly can't see it getting any better soon.

I live in hope that I will see us win the challenge cup at Wembley and be in the top 4 at least before my supporting days are over.

So come ye bl**dy ull!!!!

Anyone seen Easthullfc?

is he banned too?

He's assisting his cousin with our attacking strategy

The whole Coaching structure at the Club is inexperienced.
Our owner is new to the sport . He needed to break the bank for a top Coach when he cleared out McRae and Gentle .
The current set up may have worked with an experienced man at the helm as Head Coach. Radford is like Agar , an Assistant at best.
Andy Last is a good Youth Coach , who is also clearly out of his depth .

Justin morgan could be a good shout for me

I sure as hell am starting to feel the same way as in the Agar days, when nothing could shift him, Kath'n'co backed him unquestioningly, and he refused to act on his word and walk. That hideous April Fool's Day announcement when they extended his contract - deja-vu with Pearson's words of support before this season started - 'A NEW COACH IS NOT AN OPTION'. 13 days to 1st April...

Is he? How do you know that? What positive evidence is there? He's one of the now few common denominators of the past 6 or so unsuccessful and underwhelming seasons. He should have gone as should the whole of the coaching staff when Agar went.

David Kidwell for me . Had a good grounding at Melbourne and West tigers .

Could we be on the verge of saying bye to our coach?

Yes if you are a Catalans supporter.

Well we won, which was the important thing, and we scored a few tries to boot. Still a lot to improve on, but it gives us something to build on against Cas.

We won so I guess we'll be saying bye to you for a few days.

Well that would certainly be something to look forward to.

Here here

Exactly my thoughts. The result we needed, performance in the right direction but further to go. We still looked clueless for the first half an hour, and still did stupid things there was no need for (throwing the ball back in field aimlessly with 4 seconds until half time and a 3 score lead, and personally I thought we should have taken the 2 at the end and just killed the game, although to be fair it was pretty much already dead), but once we got a roll on you could see a big difference in our players. Now to back it up against Cas and hopefully even make further improvements.

Any idea who the referee is at Cas, could be a cracking game.

No idea, sorry.

Refs normally announced Tuesday/Wednesday. Is this game on Sky or are we only playing on Friday because we play KR the next Thurday?

Rovers v Saints on sky

Ohh Saints ... don't see them on Sky much these days .....
