Has left Castleford by mutual consent.

Off to the NRL apparently

Was the strangest appointment for Cas. Appointing a coach with a history of dour rugby was very odd.

Far too pally with his players and he hasn't learned, standards slipped massively at Hull after 2017 then he signed several of the same players for Cas??

As I said on the Leeds board; Cas were dreadful on Friday night. It was typical Radford, a plodding forward coached team. His Hull coached team were the same, but they had the remnants of a quality squad with the individual brilliance to pull off big game victories with un-planned moments of flare. Without Mamo, & with McShane off after a few minutes, Cas had nothing but Miller running round in desperation. Hopefully Last won't won't last.
Widdop was crap but I don't blame him for the overall performance.

He's won a major trophy

Powell didn't or hasn't

Michael Maguires wigan were a boring side with wrestling etc but got results

We averaged 860 points a season under Madge. We were far from dire.

Boring* should of been the word

But point still remains he won and radford did

Powell hasn't yet apart from a dinner plate which means nowt if you fail the play offs

Boring yet scored a pan load of points.

Ok....

I feel sorry for him. He coached a team to a World Cup final but had to work with championship level players at cas.

I also have a soft spot for him after he absolutely leathered Ryan Bailey to the point ryan Bailey, bleeding profusely, waited until all his team mates were in front of him before shouting “hold me back”

He put the cones out for Samoa, which is what he will do cut price in Aus.

Off to Gold Coast Titans as defensive coach?

As usual not quite true but Bailey did help Leeds win the game

Won everything as coach in the amateur game. Back to back challenge cup winner. Very close on two occasions taking a team to the grand final. Part of the coaching team that took Samoa to a World Cup final.

His coaching cv is fairly decent. .

Probably too honest of a speaker to be put in front of media.

You mean when he took several cheap shots at Bailey whilst he was on the ground? Proper hard that.

Your also forgetting that Radford was pulled off and had started running away before Bailey was on his feet.



I bet you wouldn't say that to his face. It's ironic that you call him soft, yet respect a man because he was brave enough to take some cheap shots at him.

Remember when Ryan Bailey's dad fought an armed robber and threw him out of a betting shop when he tried to rob it?

Not sure that`s the true story.
My recollection was that Bails Dad held him down with a chair I think until the police arrived.

Don’t know about that but he used to play for queens and was a real hard case.

What isn’t true? Radford battered him and then Bailey waited until his teammates were In between them both before he started to act tough. It’s not like I’m making it up. The footage has been done to death

#softestpropinslhistory

If you watch the footage carefully, you will notice Radford threw several cheap shots whilst Bailey was on the floor and defenseless, then was pulled away by several players before Bailey got to his feet.

He wouldn't have stood a chance toe-to-toe.

Doing so well until that last line, although I did have to read it twice after I read about Bailey and cheap shots and seeing it was him on the receiving end.

I can see why you would see Bailey and cheapshot in the same sentence and assume he was the assailant.
