I'd have Lineham back, I'd also have McNamara as coach if Radford did leave,

I'd have lineham back. Decent wingers are rare these days. None of his crowd left at HURL for him to fook around with now either.

Would you be happy with Brian McDermott for 2019??

Nope, he won trophies at Leeds but also inherited a good system and good players from Tony Smith and they were very inconsistent. Champions to middle 8s to Champions and middle 8s again.

While of course we'd be happy with being Champions at any cost, constantly dropping in to the middle8s is risky and you'd come unstuck at some point.

Radford deserves time to sort this out, im giving him until Easter before the Radford Out banner is dusted off

As I’ve said on another thread, it’s nod Radford’s head we need but additions to the coaching staff a la an experienced attacking coach but who’s out there that would work under a young English head coach?

We are going to get an addition to the coaching staff in Gaz Ellis unless he decides to go to Leeds.
Love Gaz Ellis as a player but he is hardly likely to sort out our attacking and ball handling woes

Let's just go for a new head coach and thank Lee for his efforts.
He can leave with his head held high and forever with our gratitude for 2 CC wins.

A change of coach has worked wonders at Saints and latterly Hudds.

I can't stand the thought of stagnating which we have all too often whilst being on the cusp of pushing on further.

On the flip side Rick Stone took Hudds backwards, bringing in an Aussie often works but not all the time
