I'm livid that Radford has the cheek to blame the crowd and lack of atmosphere for this display. The cheek of it.

I think he went on to blame the players really. He was probably ill advised to say what he did re the crowd but the point he made was a fair one. It needs the team to spark the crowd these days but it wasn't always like that.

Agree with the point in general, but 10/11k? Those days are gone, its 8k but announced as higher and dwindling each week now.

The way its going the infamous 'pay little rent for crowds below 7.5k' KC deal will look like a good peice of business!

Why would they announce it as higher, won't we pay tax on income from gate receipts so it will cost us money to lie about the crowd?

Lost to Bradford today, so no point taking him because if we lost to Bradford with him in charge you'd be asking for him to be sacked.

Wire are having a poor season and struggling with the loss of the likes of Briers, Morley and Carvell, but you cant ignore that Smith took them from mid table also rans to 3 cup wins, league leaders and two Grand Finals, id give my right arm to have a few years like that!

Someone who use to work on the turnstyles who comes on here says that's untrue, anyway not our biggest concern at the moment, although maybe Pearsons.

The crowd is fed up of season after season of the same failings. Fed up of season after season of unfulfilled promises, and players that can't string together two performances in a row. Fed up that no matter how loudly they shout the players repeatedly fail to respond.

And while Radford did indeed go on to blame the players he also made it pretty clear he had no idea how to fix things. Pretty depressing stuff.

I'd make a move for Tony Smith, looks like he needs a new challenge, reckon Warrington would let him go. Proven track record in SL of coaching a top side and winning things.

I'd rather have his elder brother.
