Crookes over Lineham.

Well unless it was someone else impersonating him on the radio earlier in the season he did a pretty good job I'm SURE

Isn't he the one who was claiming someone at the club told him crooks was born with a problem (I won't repeat what he posted then deleted) so wasn't able to put on muscle mass?

He said on the radio that Crooks has a bad attitude?

That would have been obvious to a blind man with zilch knowledge of he game. Problem is getting the right person in charge of doing the overhaul

Bomber & PG was not willing to keep Briscoe, after he had said he wanted to stay, he told them he had an offer from a SL club, but was willing to stay if the money was matched, they told him to take the offer to call his bluff & told him it was to expensive, but it was ok to spend big wages on Arundel & Miller & Pitts who was not even established players, I would say the recruitment under them was very bad business.

These 3 are taking 300k of the annual salary cap, so how can people justify that PG did well by the club, because we finished 6th & got to a major final, but got humiliated in the worst game of all time in the famous wembley stadium.

Yeah, course he was. Desperate to turn leeds down for us

No, it was his mouthpiece on here who has been quoting it as fact for months

I remember this, no it wasn't me.

Nearly Nick Youngquest over Lineham!

Apologies then. Thought it was poor from whoever did at the time and even worse from the person who told them

We've had to suffer this season as the club has looked to get value from the salary cap by trying to moving those offering the least value for money (Pitts, Arundel, Miller etc.) on. We have had to play with only 2/3rds of the cap most weeks despite our playing wage bill being over £2.2m. This is all down to the mis-management of Bomber & Gentle.

I've still got the PM's he sent me about it.

Laughable, but some forget, the squad he left after he was sacked for the dry @rsing we had at Hudds, they are not good enough to compete with the top 4 clubs in SL, a team is picked around its spine of 1,6,7,9,13, we had McDonnell,holdsworth,miller,Houghton, & Westy playing as an extra prop frustrating himself, we lost Briscoe, Lynch,Tickle with Crookes,Paea,Pitts replacing them, but look at the spine & compare it to the top teams & ask if they could compete at the top?

I told everyone that before the start of the season. Like I say, it was obvious to anyone. Signing replacements is more difficult but the real difficult part is getting those players to perform to their best week in, week out

As you are so in the know I asked you how much Dean Hadley was earning not how much you think Pitts was earning.
Now answer the question.

Read though that $h1te and still don't know if Taylor's coming

I never said that I knew how much either was earning, just that Pitts was earning 4 times more than Hadley.

Haha, Taylor's the final piece of radfords jigsaw , of course he is ha

Reading all this , I don't know how a supporter a friend or anybody with half a brain can make excuses for radford this season, FACTS (I know how much you all love them) he's done terrible in his first season, no excuses, he's more than likley going to finish us in 12th, with only 2 very poor teams below us, we've played boring ty rugby all season , and we've gone backwards under his leadership. That said, it don't take half a brain to realise he ain't going no where, so for me, I'm giving him a pre season and 4 games, before I question his position again.

Hadley his on 40 quid a week yts

Well How much do you think Hadley is earning? He has just signed a new contract and I havnt a clue what he earns but lets go to the lower end and say £30000 would that be fair?
On that basis Pitts is earning £120,000 according to your source.I don't think so do you?
Too much pub talk on here, Lee Crooks told me this or Radford told me that

Radders nearly signed Gareth Raynor for this season but went for colbon instead

Ben Crooks without doubt is a talented player going forward but we all know his defence is not so good and because he was dropped to give him that kick up the arris he thinks he is above that and spit his dummy out.Radford has spoke about culture and Crooks with is "do you know who i am attitude"is a part of that. We all knew that Radford would not take anything like that and rightly so.Whether you like Radford or not his stance is definitely the right one.On the bad signings debate, every coach in Rl at sometime made good and bad signings,I think Pitts and Johnson are real grafters but just lacked that bit extra,Arundal and Crookes were seen by many as future stars but both never really handled the pressure and expectations and once they had a bad start it was never going to be easy and it proved to be the case.So now its the last game and we again look to the future for better days.I believe with the new signings it will happen but all the fans must get behind radford and give him a chance

We have two possible scenarios here. Either 1865 is full of 5hit (this is the more likely one). Or he really has been told these things by Radford.

If he is telling the truth, and Radford has been divulging things like player salaries to random people in west park, surely this is enough to get him sacked anyway?

The common denominator of Agar, Gentle & Radford, is that they all cannot
gel a group of players into a team.

Irrespective of quality of recruitment.. -IMO
