I think anyone who is saying anything along the lines of Radford being an uninspiring signing knows very little about Rugby League. OK some people may have issues about his age but he has won everything in the british game and we could do with someone of his experience. He's a very under rated player due to the fact that although he'll never do anything fancy or break the line but will graft hard for the team and come up with a phenomenal amount of tackles. He's a battle hardened warrior and woukd work well with Clinton,Vella, Newton and co.

Bollox.

Why are we even discussing this as an option, Someone above has said Lee's dad said its bull, and even Lee himself as mentioned to people that its a load of tripe so why on earth are people looking at it as an option for Wheeldon/Nev?

its called covering your bases. If the unthinkable happens and we sign him then we can hide behind all the semi decent things we've said about whilst always leaving the options open for us to slag FC off if they keep him by saying he's past his best and expensive.

He's rubbish and finished, would cost far too much and would spend more time on the treatment table than Madam Kenco spends on here. No better than what we've got.



He's a decent hard grafting forward who seems to have a great attitude and would no doubt help to bring the youngsters along, you don't play with all the quality players he has and got the medals in your cabinet without picking up a thing or two along the way.











Hmm, doesn't really work in the same post. Too efficient me.

Thats better.....

....and therein lies the essence of RLFans sublimely stated.

exactly, I'm using ever ounce of self control to not scream NO!! to this supposed signing and state (in very candid terms) why I think it would be awful for us because I know when I do the announcement will be made and I'll have to eat my words..

We know he is, but the question was is he signing







FWIW, the person who told me this is the same one who guaranteed that Ben Galaea had signed a two year contract for fc...so fortunately he has a track record in this department.

What, apart from giving him 5 years on a good contract, the captaincy, the club captaincy and awarding him community player of the year, you mean? He's well appreciated at FC, but is 32 in March and at his stage of career maybe money, and length of contract talk.

Thought they took the captaincy away from him because of the overwhemling opposition ( on rlfans anyway

) to him keeping it.

No, at his age he is playing less minutes, so they gave it to Long on the basis he'd be on the pitch. Didn't work out too well.
