How do I go about defending him then. if trying to defend means it's against forum rules by trolling.

I'm struggling to understand what you mean by trolling?

I just posted a defence of our coach, in a thread on the subject of our coach, and you replied to it with basically an insulting post about me, and then you declared me a troll.

Ignore him. You're not trolling. Ironic because his previous account was banned because he's a troll.

Are you trying to say that Radford is a better coach?

Yeh and Wayne Bennett, I honestly don’t think he’s been to a game since the last cc final win, or bothered watching us on tv

Now you can see what a good coach can do after seeing London beat HKR
Working on a limited budget and a squad of fairly average players the coach has done a magnificent job
Put Radford in charge of London this season and they would have been relegated months ago

But that's hypothetical, we shouldn't be making big decisions like changing our coach on hypotheticals.

I wanna know what's in place if we do get rid. Because right now we have a proven coach, whose had us winning silverware, had us regularly at the right end of the table, had us playing in semi finals and finals more than not. Shown he's got a good eye to spot a player, the likes of Fonua and Ratu being gems he found.

What's the guarantee somebody can do better? there isn't one, it's a gamble, I don't think we need to gamble yet. He gets some new and hopefully improved cards to play with next season, he needs to be given the chance to see if he can do with this new group of players what he did with the departing group. He still has credit to play with in my opinion.

Wonder what he'll think if Tony Smith resides over Rovers relegation.
Think London and Wakey should be gentlemen and shake on a point each next week and hope Salford bury our cousins.

Was thinking the same about that first point.
Been a top week for Rovers. Another £400k loss posted and beaten at home by London. SKD a good signing though.

Higher finish than last year in the league, and further in the cup. #facts

It's probably because I go to away games too, that I don't find it as disastrous as you do, I've had some great times on the road this season.

Would he still sign if rovers are relegated! Can’t see it. In fact after all the hype of the relegation battle can see no one getting relegated and sl been increased to 14 teams like as been mentioned

No way Rovers will be relegated either way.

Havent we been down this road,time & time again???

I predict, it will be the same style of play,slow passing, no support play, a Sneyd speculator as our main offensive weapon, and probably only turning up in the Challenge Cup..
The opposition's video analysis of our attack, must only take 5mins, as we are so predictable to defend against..

As for Connor, its a real pity, he'll probably depart to pastures new,where a Manager will have the competence to man-manage him in a more effective manner.
We only have to look at how our hierarchy,manage players such,as Lineham,Westerman,Watts and now Connor - a P45.
Probably there will be a BS promotional video, to buy season tickets, sure the playing personnel will change, but the performance of the 'team' will not.. IMO
