Absolutely mate, he should step down and relinquish the role and if he doesn't then Agar needs to have the balls to make the change himself and appoint Fitzgibbon as captain with Washy as vice.

You certain Washbrook will be with FC after this season Paul?

Bradford bound according to [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=425077this.[/url

I see a few are dismissing the interview because of who has said it. End of the day, the captain has come out and said some harsh words. From reading the article, you can tell that he is still holding back and wants to say more. What he says is mainly correct, except for insinuating that Agar should be here next year but at the end of the day, no player is ever going to come out and slate their head coach. Not once in that interview did Radford say he is exempt from criticism, it seems to me that he is including himself and rightly so because he has been very poor.

Yes I am. He's the best young player we have at the club and I don't think he wants to go anywhere.

He has just bought a very expensive property and will need to be supporting the morgage on that. Coupled with his new addition that soak money up like sponges in a drought, I would say Danny will be looking long term around.

If i'm not mistaken though, he no longer has an agent.

"Everybody was absolutely out on their feet, we couldn't cope."

I thought we were now the fittest side in the history of the world ever. I'm always hearing how hard they've worked in training. We may be light on quality but there's no excuse for not being fit enough.

Thought Rommel would have been on by now.Surely he has ordered a copy,article on his favourite Hull player and a free ticket


Maybe Manuel has not got round to delivering it yet.
Oh hang on,did'nt Norris sack him

I don't agree with this. All the props, second rowers and loose forwards we will have in the squad for next season are better options than Radford. Some of them by quite a distance.

Spot on.

Good on him for saying it.

The Brother is for me absolutely spot on. Remember Judas saying before the Derby that Radford cannot speak during games becaus he takes so much out of himself! He is a real worker, played out of position, expected to do things that he is not designed to do and often played for far too long. He may not be Mr Super star but he won't let us down and even at 31 he still packs a fair bit of punch (Ask Mick Vella!)

Once again he is a creature of poor coaching!

On the back of that i think its fair to say that we will see the best of Radford next year in a better pack and hopefully in a team that can keep hold of the ball and that has a scrum half.

I agree all packs need a Radford style player, our problem is we have to many workman like players (not all at the moment) in the pack and not enough quality.
The big exclusive must have taken all of two minutes i was looking inside for the rest of the interview

In general i'd have agreed previously, i wouldnt agree looking at next year.

Cusack
Berro
O'Meley
Radford
Fitz
Washy

Lauaki
Prop
Houghton
Manu

Looks pretty awesome and has a nice balance. Tough as nails pack too.

If you're going to have a workhorse in your pack, it should be one of the quality of Cusack rather than one of Radford's standard, I reckon.

Radfords standard is better than most.

I don't have a problem with Radford as a journeyman SL player, but I do have a problem with him as Captain, but that wasn't his decision anyway.

I guess im putting his captaining to one side, i think his performances as a workhorse forward are better than most.

We'll have to agree to differ. Whilst we're clearing out the deadwood, he should be somewhere near the top of the list, IMO. Works hard in defence, but offers literally nothing in attack. If we were to keep him as emergency cover for injuries on a relatively low salary, then fair enough. The fact is, he's club captain and, as such, probably one of our higher earners.

Ive been doing that when concering Radders on here for some time now!!

Agree next year looks a more proffessional pack, hopefully they will get the discipline sorted between themselves with a few strong words and actions iff people arn't pulling there weight, unlike this year when booze and lack of committment to the cause punished us.
Still think Dowes can do a job for us with better pros along side him

I really dont like the look of that starting backrow as Fitz and Radford are far too similar as they are both basically props playing at 13 for Roosters and us. Would much rather see Burnett or Manu starting.

Dowes
Berro
Shrek
Manu/Burnett
Fitz
Washy

Houghton
Yak
Hame
Manu/Burnett

I know you are a big fan of Radford but i really hope there isnt a place for him in our 17 next season.

i've slated Radford for the last few years because I think he's slow, uninspiring and 1 dimensional

but fair play to him for actually coming out with some proper comment about our plight, and not the usual "grade A license" "we can turn it round" "these week we'll do it" garbage that they've tried to fob us off with for months
