That's it. it's decision making, keeping concentration when knackered, attitude & desire to provide the option or dummy play, things like that is what Radford's talking about.

we had enough chances to win Catalans and leeds. but we didn't purely because of the execution. players no making the right pass. players not taking the ball, players in general making the wrong decision.

im not radders biggest fan but you cant blame that on him.

just needs to click for us. for some teams, it works no matter what they do, other teams have to try hard to make it work...we are the latter

What's happed to James Webster coming to Hull ? Sounds like he's Eels bound now .

Things were going well until it was announced Lineham was leaving. Now i'm not suggesting that it's the sole reason, but he hasn't played since and I know the club weren't happy with having to announce it mid-season. Maybe words have been said and it's unsettled the group a little?

Same old record, we play poor, it's the players or the fans, play well and it's down to Radford...

How we play, how we execute, the attitude of the players is more down to the coach than the players themselves.



All those things above are down to the coach, it's down to him to ensure that players don't waiver from the plan, it's his job to drill the players in such a way that everything they do with regard to execution is 2nd nature even when under duress & tiredness (a sports psychologist is massively important in this aspect), it's the coaches job to recognise when a player is knackered & needs subbing BEFORE he makes that critical error, it's the coaches job to adjust how the team play on the fly.



Yes the players have to do things on the pitch but saying that if the players aren't executing, aren't putting in the effort, aren't backing up, making incorrect decision etc is just down to the players isn't accurate.



What the coach does, how he prepares the players both individually & as a team, how he instills confidence, mental fortitude, how to address every aspect of playing RL at the highest level is the biggest part of what happens on the field.

We have a decent squad/team, we've shown in small spurts how good we can be, and there have being some really good performances, however it's all so on and off even through our decent run we had some patchy performances/wins, atm it's being more off than on hence 8th position, that is down to the coach both the good and the bad.

Things have certainly gone downhill in the last couple of games, both of which were very winnable against an injury hit les cats and an out of sorts leeds. What has happened to the rampaging pack that steamrollered rovers and widnes, what has happened to the aggressive defence we saw in those games? What has happened to the side who stuck 40 points on cas? Seems we've regressed to our early season habits

Given Lineham was announced as leaving and then coincidentally 'dropped' along with the murmerings regarding Shaul (and we know what the head coach truly thinks of him already) I don't think it's that surprising there's being a dip.

IMO our coaching personnel isn't that good/isn't good enough to take this team further, if we break into the top 6 by end of the season it'll be a miracle but would at least prove that we have stood still compared to 2012/13 and not gone backwards.

It makes you wonder why "good" coaches ever lose matches.

Some people just can't wait for an opportunity.

Yup.

To be fair there have been plenty of them in the last season and a half

Magic weekend hangover? I think the team that wins always has a downturn in form, the losers always seem to improve after. We beat Widnes after now seem to of lost momentum - Rovers on the other hand have found form since, even without Campese. Seems to happen most seasons too
