Ok, give another....

His defense was found very wanting at times for GB, as was his kick-returns along with his most of his play in attack, and his positioning was poor aswell. All of this is opinion of course, and unlike his try scoring record isn't fact I suppose (In my eyes it was

)

If players need a role model for professionalism at that level then they should just not be picked.

I also wonder what effect he would have on current players, whilst he will go down as a great in your eyes, like Wellens he will only ever be a club great. He just wasn't good enough at a high enough level to gain the respect of anyone else.

Because Wellens is so much better these days... even Smith isnt a match winner. Radlinski, don't forget, did not play the likes of Wales, PNG & France on a regular basis.

I never saw Radlinski perform as poorly in a four game run as Wellens did in Australia last year.

The Aussies whinged about them when they came over for the Ashes if i remember rightly so we went to using their Steeden balls.

Set the bar low enough and anyone could look good!!

I never saw him getting MOMs either, or going under the sticks in Sydney.

Shock horror, non wigan fans think a wigan player having something to do with internationals is a bad thing!

At least when we get hammered next time by the ausies, you can blame another wigan lad, must have been hard in the world cup without our lads to blame.

IIRC in the England v Wales World Cup Semi Final at Old Trafford he pulled off one of the best try saving tackles I've ever seen whilst the scores were locked late on in the game. I'm sure it was Sullivan flying down the wing, Rads lined him up and nailed him, dragging him in touch whilst he was at it. Try saved, England scored....final at Wembley versus Aus.

If Radlinski was an international failure what does that make half the Leeds side that turned up that damp squid of a performance in Australia?

Yes.

let's blame the fb for not pulling off a tackle on every player who get's through, not asking about how he got there in the first place!! a great pro imo, and with the right guidance will be a great coach
