Re: RADFORD OUT
No chance he gets sacked 3 games in.
We could not afford to pay out virtually 2 seasons wage and then pay for another coach.
Absolutely fantasy.
I would like to see what he can do with 2 proper half backs. We are lost without that.
But you would think Macca, Westerman, Evalds and Watts would be of enough quality to be able to get us in the game and move us forward. But something is up as we look terrible.
There is no doubt for the opposition defensive line. We are flat and predictable with no alternative lines being run. Slow play ball. No offloads. No line breaks or deep threat. No pace in the middle
Defensively, look soft.
Signings barring Westerman feel, like some have said, like 2004. Signs are not good if we cannot get a creative organiser in. Bit returning to main point, I cannot see us sacking him. Not yet anyway.

Re: RADFORD OUT
He's obviously clueless in my opinion.
Woe betide a fool hardy club keeping him because he'd be too much £ to sack. If we stay with him relegation a real spectre and this club cannot afford that never mind 150k to pay him off

Re: RADFORD OUT
whats Brad Davis doing i know he is past is sell by date but as now he could do a better job it pains to see Trueman looking as a top player being that good that he might leave for pastures new, the lad as lost his form 2nd team for me
Re: RADFORD OUT
All hypothetical isn't it, can't see us paying anyone off to free up cap/quota space. If we had the balls and the cash I'd go for Williams from Canberra.

Re: RADFORD OUT
What do you see Brad doing? He was the oldest SL player when he retired, but he’s 53 now!

Re: RADFORD OUT
Strap yourselves in guys as the 2022 SL season is gonna be one hell of a bumpy ride
We've got players that don't remotely look like they want to be here and also a coach that shouldn't even be anywhere close to the head coach of the club

Re: RADFORD OUT
He has been both defensive and attacking coach at a number of top RU clubs and also coached with England and the Lions. He was head coach at Bath and Toulon, winning competitions with both clubs. More recently he has been coaching at Leicester Tigers, after Covid meant that his venture into America with Dallas never got off the ground.Tamworth Tiger wrote: ↑27 Feb 2022, 20:53Rugby Union specialist defensive coach isn’t he?nottinghamtiger wrote: ↑27 Feb 2022, 20:30Well he’s made a reputation for himself as a top coach...Tamworth Tiger wrote: ↑27 Feb 2022, 17:44What do you see Brad doing?

He left Leicester at the end of the last Premiership season and wants to be involved in RL coaching:

Re: RADFORD OUT
Sorry folks but the stark reality is Radders is here for at least 6 more games, if not longer. There's absolutely no way Cas can pay him off and even less chance of any club getting rid after 3 games.
If I may be so bold as to compare us to Leeds U, I see the same problem but a different view from the fans. Both Radders and Bielsa are strong willed but only have a Plan A. For some reason many Leeds U fans love the way they have played and would've liked Bielsa to continue to entertain. We at Cas are unhappy with the style of play and therefore want rid of the Coach. Who's right?
For me, both teams need to look at the way they defend and a good coach should be able to identify what changes are required then train them into the game plan. For Cas, this does include reducing penalties.
We may be falling foul of current referring standards but they won't change so we need to. This is what I want to see happen in the next few ganes.

Re: RADFORD OUT
If we smash Hull on Sunday that'll definitely brighten the mood. But like you said it's up to Lee to have thr players fired up and ready to go. Really hope we get our first points of the season as we need em
