That's sport, form changes, circumstances happen from time to time that are out of your control that can be detrimental to you. Wayne Bennett had seasons as a coach when things didn't go his way, it doesn't make him a bad coach, but it does mean he's capable because he's proven.

Radford is still relatively young as a coach, he's still learning lessons himself, and he'll be better off for going through the tough times as well as the good times.

It's to easy to throw the towel in when the hard times come, it's the hard times when he'd need our confidence in him more than ever.

Six season as a head coach in SL and that’s after a two year apprenticeship as assistant. He’s the longest serving coach in SL. He has also already had some tough times, but we appear to be in a situation where we have not been able to adapt.

The coach should be the one who instils confidence in the players and the fans. It should not be the other way around.

I kind of admire your defence of Redford, but in the words of James Child last night when having to listen to Joel Tomkins bile....

He'll be gone if we dont make the play-offs in 20/20.

No matter who we’ve signed, we could easily find ourselves struggling at the wrong end of the table next year.
We seem bereft if ideas at times, and Radford seems bereft to know what to do about it.
The record defeats, and number of them, seem to have been just forgotten about. If it was Agar or Gentle the pressure on them would have been immense, not least from AP.
We will have the personnel next year to be challenging for the top three. I can’t believe AP will be happy with anything other, but I wonder if he’ll change anything if we’re not?

It’s not only our team that look stronger next season either, thankfully for sl, the whole comp is looking like been a stronger one, making Radfords job even harder

Poor old Roseanne.

Indeed, seems our hope that he is OK are well wide of the mark.

Hardly the bigger picture you are painting there is it.

Two games, you really need to get your glasses on

You've turned into the worst type of troll, the one which doesn't realise they are one.

But thanks for confirming my point from the other thread about you not really contributing to debate. Perhaps you should start looking at the bigger picture rather than adding to the increasing amounts of nothing posts which are far to common on these forums now.

Just saying it was two games, not one as your incorrect reply stated.

Once again you are throwing unnecessary insults.

A team is only as strong as it’s weakest link and for me that is the coaching side. We have had enough quality and ability in the players during Radford tenure to have done much better than they have. We are a player lead team not a coach lead one. The rate at which we fall off in performance at the end of a season is alarming. Last year Radford could hide behind the injury situation but this year he can not.
Look at the pattern of play and performances over his tenure and can anyone really hand on heart say we have improved in terms of the product in the field (not talking playing staff recruitment).
We still lack support play, we are flat both in attack and defence, our speed is slow and ponderous again both in defence and attack, basic skill set is low, discipline still a failing, end of set plays predictable (if we make to the end of a set) or totally ad hock.
This isn’t the players this is down to the coaching and what he instills into the players. Whatever is done during each training session can not be working as it’s the same old stuff in the 80 mins. Then we get the same old sound bites from same players.
In all honesty I just can not see anything changing next season other than the possible change from the influence of the fresh faces but sadly not any improvement in where it really matters to get the players playing to their potential or consistently.
