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.

I really hope you are right but not holding my breath.

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.

Featherstone had hardman,smeaton,briggs,kain,finn,hepworth,england and bryan,all 1st teamers missing,so its not as if they were full strength ! It was supposed to be whitings special day,how do you think he feels?

To be honest I don't think its fair if you start claiming castleford, Warrington etc players are missing

Looks good, had to bob up and down as the crossbar on the posts was in the way but if it had been a league/cup game i am sure i would have moved around for a better view. The only downside i could see was the bottlenecks caused at half and full time as people went to the toilets or left the ground.

Yeah that is an issue as with the ground improvements one of the exits is closed, but we wont get away support like that for rest of season unless we get a local SL team in the cup at home

Nice to have had a decent atmosphere in the ground too, not had it that full since cas and wigan in the cup 2 seasons ago - for us hopefully in a season or two we can get that week in week out when the leagues split if we make that middle 8

Despite the performance hope you all had a good day over - the local boozers are happy

Some of them kids are 6 months out of school, playing against real men who are experienced RL players, fev was up for it from the first minute we was not but im not going to say im worried about the season ahead just yet.

We all know you'll defend radford to the end but no one believes you. He isn't up to it. Wonder what the odds are on him being the first coach to be sacked are

Richer.

With regard to the forward pack I don't think we carried the ball outside our own half in the first half without assistance from a penalty or very are mistake from Fev. Their defence was well drilled and we seemed to lack the strength to break the line or dominate in either an attacking or defensive tackle.

Where you been hiding, Finn is now at C@s, Hepworth as retired, England as gone to Warrington and Bryan as gone to London Skolars, we have made some good signings in their place though
