He said that if you asked him about prep he'd tell you they were 'jumping'. Or words to that effect. His point was that the lack of energy on the field had not been reflected in the attitude pre match. And he had no idea why. Which is worrying.
Radford sounded like a guy totally lost and out if his depth. I'm all for honesty in a coach but some of the barbed comment re players won't do him any favours in the dressing room. I was doubtful at the time he was experienced enough to take on the job but was willing to give him benefit of doubt. Looking at performances and his interviews his inexperience at this level is a telling factor. When are we going to learn the giving assistant coach after assistant after assistant is what the club needs. What it needs is a head coach with experience and proven track record.
His interchanges at times have been agaresque & we simply can not back up any kind of performance.
My biggest concern from the interview is he said that he knew from the London game when he took Westy off that we lacked a lot without him on the field so they'd worked on it in training.... Well what exactly have they done on it in 2 weeks as it looks like no plan B.
To have a 16 nil lead and blow it in the last 25mins is unforgivable and the blame lays with the Coach & players. They just allowed Wakefield to bring them into a physical rough house style and capitulated once wakey scored. Something we have all seen too many times before.
Questions need to be asked if the whole lot of them and rightly so.
Noble is not the answer either.
