Very good rapport with fans as well. Looked delighted applauding the away end last night.

My thoughts too . One of our best signings ever .

Looked like he was enjoying himself singing old faithful in the sheds after the game too

Must be such a change for him playing in a team where he's appreciated

I noticed that. I always thought he seemed temperamental at the Dobbins, but he seems very happy.

Also seems to have bought into the culture of the club.

Of course , it's all going to go horribly wrong due to second season syndrome.

His second try didnt get much credit from the sky team who just spoke about his pace and the loose pass gifting him a try, but it was exceptional skill. Two kicks, one right foot, one left foot whilst running at pace judged to perfection. If George Williams had scored it Phil Clarke would have never shut up about it. There are only a tiny amount of players in the world that could have done it, and he made it look routine.

They showed it on the hourly sports news on BBC Breakfast this morning. The sports reporter compared it to the skill you might see at Hampden Park later.

Thanks, was trying to remember where I'd heard/seen that.

How far back are you going with this?
There was a period where it was clear that we lacked any leadership by the coach and players were underperforming, has Radford improved, yes he has.
Have the players improved in some areas, yes they have and that is down to Radford and his coaching team, however do the players under his control still make the same errors when under pressure, yes they do, do we still revert to poor play/poor discipline at times, yes we do.
Does he still have much to learn to get his charges doing what he wants them to do and to stop the peaks and troughs being so far apart, does he need to do more/improve how he coaches to instill mental fortitude and to develop strategies to reduce the chances of players being indisciplined more than currently or during games when we are under the cosh, yes he does.

I suppose you've never said anything that some period down the line isn't accurate because of changes?
But carry on dragging stuff up from the past a la Barista, just makes you more sad and pathetic than you already are.

As an aside, I was reading that an FC 'fan' has being banned or will be banned by the club for racist remarks made towards Kelly.
Did anyone know about this?

How rude, personal and insulting.

No. A Rovers fan used the "n" word in reference to him on Twitter though. Hudgell had to tweet about it when it was suggested she should be banned.

I could be sadder by persisting in posting the same old painful patter that Penelope churns out.

That's for putting him right yet again Mrs B.
Bless, he really doesn't seem to get an awful lot right!

Need to enjoy him while we can. If he proves (to the NRL) that he's sorted his out by having a good 2nd season with us, then he'll pick up an NRL contract for 2019.

He'll still only be a young man, so you wouldn't blame him if he goes back to the NRL for more money, does he have kids?

reported for deliberate trolling.

What a ing nerd.

Well you bang on about posters being personally abused then abuse WIZEB. Just calling out the inconsistency so you can mark your own homework.

He-y-alp!

Oh but you failed to acknowledge any personal insults slights by your besties yet highlight my 'slight', which was an accurate description of the sad attempt at dragging up old posts, just like you right. And all it's done for is an attempt to inflame and get away from the discussion. I will continue to report you for trolling and deliberately derailling threads
Crack on mcduff.

I clicked on this thinking it was going to be a thread about Albert Kelly.

My mistake.

Just the usual bickering and slagging. It's all a bit tedious.

just pm each other and bicker away?

=#FF0000Quite. This constant bickering and sniping between certain posters is quite pathetic really. If you want to knock 7 metaphorical bells out of each other, please do so in private and leave the threads for the subjects they're intended for.

Thank you.

Spoil sport, you gotta laugh
