Depends how you define "not changing". If you gave Radford Leeds squad, it's fair to assume they'd beat our current team. Quality of playing personnel, believe it or not, makes a difference.
Will we break through the Top 3 "glass ceiling" with the 2016 squad and Radford? No. Would we with another coach, like Paul Anderson, or Frayssinous, or even Darryl Powell? Unlikely IMO. We might do better next season though than this. We have done better this season than last and the squad's better. Not an outrageous scenario.
Of course,quality playing personnel ,does make a difference,but the key is, too gell them into a team. and not into a group of individuals.
Players still mis-time runs, our passing is still slow & inaccurate, also 10 yards from the opposition try line, we are not decisive, we look clueless we have no set plan.
Playing against the top 4 in SL, our attack is nullified by the oppositions fast defensive line speed.
IF Radford,Last & Horne were at Leeds, Leeds's performances would slowly dissapate.-IMO
For mine, a proven coach would gell us into a 'team, I'm not saying we would be top 4, but at least we would be 50/50 chance of winning against a top side.
I doubt Castleford 's salary cap is on a par with us, and the difference in team ethic & performance, is noticeable. in my opinion as individuals,we have better quality players than Castleford.
Personally I have zero confidence in our coaching team.
