God only knows how we beat his team so many times last season.God only knows how we beat every single team in super league except for Saints, at least once last season(some more than once) when we're so poorly coached.

Most sides in the league will ask forwards to run in 2's. Most sides in the league will have a full back or someone there to take an offload. Most sides in the league can create overlaps easily on a shift play to give their full back space. If you are happy with how we play, the tactics we operate with, then good for you. I expect more from a talented squad that is capable of finishing in the top 3 if we play to their strengths.

Are you saying our full back isn't there to receive an offload? If so, then how do you explain his try from less than 24 hours ago?

1 swallow doesn't make a summer. How many times do we look for an offload and find nobody there??

So even when they do what you demand, it's still not good enough?

I posted on a different thread, that some fans are happy with one offs. Sneyd's drop goal to potentially win the game would be lauded, yet his missed tackle attempts, poor last tackle kicks, and his inability to create anywhere near the level of chances in the opposition 20 that our competitors halves do would be forgotten about.

Shaul backing up (finally!) would overshadow the blind alley's he runs into, the space he takes away from his centre and his winger on shift plays, compared to our competitors full backs.

If we praise them, we need to criticise their deficiencies too. When Wigan fans are coming on to the forum last week and saying that Shaul is the issue with our attacking structure, it says a lot

I don't seem to be able to find any post match interview from Radford anywhere.
Has he not done one?

blunderside did one which they linked to on twitter. He didn't sound like someone who thought he'd be sacked any time soon
