Radders the dadders and his Brexit rugby league style is the first in the bin.

He's off to the NRL, apparently.

He can join others failing upwards in McDermott and Agar then....

It feels like there must be something more than just results. While some will say its way too early we've also seen what can happen if you leave a mess too long.

I have to say issues seem to follow Widdopp around wherever he goes....

Cas were dreadful on Friday night. It was typical Radford, a plodding forward coached team. His Hull coached team were the same, but they had the remnants of a quality squad with the individual brilliance to pull off big game victories with un-planned moments of flare. Without Mamo, & with McShane off after a few minutes, Cas had nothing but Miller running round in desperation. Hopefully Last won't won't last.
Widdop was crap but I don't blame him for the overall performance.

Was hopping we went there in 2 weeks and put the nail in the coffin. Awful coach was always odd choice for Cas or anyone to be fair.

How long do we think Applegarth has left at Wakey?

I'm sure I remember reading (or hearing) that he was implementing a new attack strategy in and claimed it may take a 'week or two' to get used to. I can't find anything about it now, and starting to think I've imagined it. Anyone know more?

The Cods aren't happy with Tony Smith, a few more performances like the the last couple and no doubt the pressure will really start to build

They would be absolutely bonkers to get rid of Uncle Tony. (although would totally be a very FC thing to do tbh)

Hes going to need at least a season or two to get rid of some of the dead wood there and truly implement his methods onto that team.

Applegarth is a strange one, have the players just not bought in to these new methods? They didnt look like they had a clue against us for large swathes of that game Friday. There was a real feelgood factor around the club preseason, new stand, players coach etc but thats all gone in the bin recently as reality has arrived.

we're more than happy with Tony Smith and understand that he has a monster job on his hands sorting out the rubbish that was left for him. We have no expectations of anything good for this season but are confident that time will show that we made the right decision in appointing him.
