Quote ="downtheante"Agreed... but in the absence of a good, young, hard-running home-grown (trained) prop I think Radford might be the missing piece for us and at 30 years of age, he's not such a bad age for a prop. It's very early to tell anyway as we've only seen him in the out-and-out prop role in one pre-season friendly - he might end up being useless. Probably ought to start judging mid-season.'"
know what you mean but to be fair apart from where he actually stands in a scrum what will be different in his game , thats what bothers me as all he did last year was the same as he did on Sunday, just looked a bit fitter on Sunday is all I saw different !
also if Cussack retires as is Muted ( I believe he will be an outstanding prop this year) and we release radford there is a chunk there to go and buy a good prop from either here or overseas...
at that point we should throw a huge brown paper bag full of money at LMS which makes another positive step forwards in our recovery administration rather than Radford if you see my point
