Total disrespect for both Rich and the fans today from Radford,been saying all week about picking a strong side and giving the first choice 13 half a game each,maybe he wanted a decent gate for stilts.What has been the point of our pre season yet again? Ellis,Houghton,Paea,Feka and Azza hardly given any game time,and as for gelling a half back partnership it has been a joke.God only knows what Miller has done to Radford the way he has been played in the friendlies,only on the pitch along side the youngsters.Talking of the youngsters we will be lucky if 1 or 2 make the step up to super league.Don't give me the, they will get better with experience line,I've seen enough (next best thing since slice bread players) before and they have come to nothing.

Do you really think they only get together on game days? gelling is a thing that happens all week at the training ground, they play full 80 min games against each other a couple of times a week so if the half back combos or any other partnerships like wing/centre are to work its not because radders did not play them at fev, or no way has he disrespected Whiting its just we lost 3 senior players to injury early on so knowing we have catalans in under a fortnight we could not risk more first team.

Listen fev got on top of us from the 1st min, pinned us in our 10 with a decent kicking game, we made a few errors & before we knew it you had scored 3-4 tries, you are a very good side the 2nd half was a different story we had Miller/Bowden & Thompson on the pitch with our young kids so fev took advantage been the good side they are put the game to bed, we are in the elite league of the game this been a league game or cup it would have been very different.

You can train and play games against each other all week long, there is no substitute for playing competitive games for a partnership to start to gel.The way the halves have been changed in the friendlies is a joke,no chance to get anything going.

I was basing it on Kris Radlinski's blog who said that Wigans Conditioners knocked them on the head for the reasons I gave. Wigan won the Challenge Cup final and Grand Final. Huddersfield blew up in the play offs.

Bottom line is that with a new head coach who had been the assistant we finished top of the table.

Maybe you are new to RL. If you have followed the game for more than a couple of years you will know that when Maguire started the turnaround of Wigan he took them to an army camp.

Our 'blowing up' was to lose a final elimination semi narrowly at the Wolves...hardly shameful.

Our play off blowing up did include a 76 -18 win over Hull!

The Giants managed to score 13 tries. Maybe we were poor and Hull just had a useless defence coach?

I suppose this is why me & you are not SL coaches or most that post on here, I understand every one has an opinion but for me radders is more then suitable for the job in hand.

We only lost by that much because we hadn't been on the army camp under Gentle...lol

He is Rovers fan chief, they can only dream of even getting the chance to be thrashed by you. Basically they are all braindead cretins. Don't rise to it.

What's your verdict on the your teams pre season btw ?

Spot on. First run out against you showed plenty of promise,made good breaks only the timing of the passing when we made breaks left a bit to be desired,but should improve with playing together and like with yourselves lost it a bit with the youngsters on.Yesterday against the giants played really well, timing a lot better and promise from the youngsters.The main thing was not bad on the injury front,netherton hurt his back and horne a knock,but seem to be pretty much ok unlike you.Hope nothing serious on the injury front for you.
