I know Radford let Wattsy go but can't they shake hands and get on with it

If true let's try to be positive ,for me I wouldnt have gone with any one of them ,but it is what it is and we have to unite round him.at least we might win a cup and not much chance of been relegated again.

Enjoy the rest of this year boys & girls before its 5 drives and a kick to the corner for the forseeable future.

Love how the cas fans are up in arms about Radford. 7 years as a head coach at Hull, 5 playoff places and 2 major trophies. That's more major trophies than cas have in the time I've been alive.

Both have openly said that they clash in terms of personality.
Radford wants his forwards (and backs) to be battering rams who never pass the ball. He thinks that fewer errors lead to more wins.
We'll get what he dished up at Hull - five drives and a kick to the corner.
I really hope I'm proven wrong, but under Radford I expect nothing but boring rugby and more losses than wins.

Now we can see why Watts hasn’t been at his best this season. If he knew about this then it all adds up.

I’d say that’s more fitness issues.

I can't say I'm happy with this, but I'm willing to accept it. But if that's the case and we do end up playing that style of play, whilst winning nothing. Then I won't be buying a season ticket again.

I would hope Gratton and Fulton or whoever conducted the interview made it clear what kind of rugby the Cas supporters expect to see when we played a turgid brand of rugby in 2019 crowds dropped and people were saying Powell has took us as far as he can our attack that season looked like blokes who had met each other for the first time in the car park half an hour before kick off

For all those worried about the Watts / Radford relationship, don't be. Heard they are good friends and Watts in fact fell out with Adam Pearson not Radford.

If we play boring rugby and win a couple of trophies, nobody will bat an eyelid.
Play that way and only win half of the time (which would be an improvement on Radford’s track record at Hull with a more expensive squad), whilst getting hammered fairly regularly, then attendances will fall off a cliff.

Some posters on here seem to think we can attract the best coaches.
We can't.
Lack of facilities, no big money backer.
We over achieve with what we have.

We can only appoint from the people who apply.

Whoever we get its the best of the bunch.

In my opinion if its Radders, he's the best of a poor bunch.

Whether he is the best of the applicants is subjective though.

My worry in all this is whether we have anyone at the club who is capable of identifying the best coach of a bunch. Who's selecting? Fulton? Gratton? (assuming Wells isnt involved).

Is it Radders?

When he played he only knew one way and nothing changed as a coach.

For all the years I've followed Cas I've know the good and (more often) the bad. For me it's about more than simply being successful although I'm happy to take that when it comes providing it's not at the cost of every other factor that keeps me smiling when I watch us play.

I think I'll ask my source what Radders is really like to work with...

I don’t think people are worried about his credentials more than his playing style. We’ve spent years developing a skill set which suits the players and makes the team gr8 to watch. How many of these players do we expect to retain, personally I expect it will be gutted and replaced with battering rams, but that’s my opinion

I am.
Over six seasons (and a bit), Radford lost more than he won with a squad making use of the marquee player rule and top training facilities.
