seconded.

Well I'll be the first to say that whilst its not the end of the world I'd rather we spent the money more wisely.

I agree. IMO we are some way short of being genuine challenger's for honours if we keep re-signing every current player how are we meant to bridge that gap? there will be no room on the salary cap surely.

I dont see the pack as being "some way short" IMO we need a lot better back line creativity wise.

Isn't he due a testimonial next season?

the 10 years service will of been broken from when he was as bulls,i believe the club are trying to sort something out for him with the rfl,maybe a 3-6 month one,cos he wont get a year one.

No problem with this. He's looked much better this season, and fitter too.

ala pensioner stan

Lee has been a good servant and has stood tall when other so called stars were failing us badly over the last couple of seasons , he is a solid fearless warrior that would walk into most SL clubs , he has his faults as all players do but his hard work for the cause can never be questioned..

Morning Lee

Really disagree with the highlighted bit. Which clubs would he walk into?

What people forget all the time is that not every prop in a squad is a Barry Mac / Anderson blockbusting runner with a ball and all balanced squads need the ying and yang of a great hitter or two as well, Lee maybe does not make 60 yd bursts but he does stop a lot of opposition doing so though!!
He is regarded throughout the playing rostas of SL as "a player best to avoid when taking the ball up"
If Lee were to say he was leaving there would be a number of clubs asking for his favour I assure you , and thats based upon the number of enquiries made about his contract recently from SL clubs outside Hull, not message board speculation!!

The ones that other players would run into

Are you sure you dont mean "a player easily avoided when taking the ball up?"





I've nothing against Radford but he is past his best and, I imagine, no longer value for money.

No problem with this if he is played at Prop.

Its when he is given the LF roll which is a waste of time.

There are many fans and players would disagree with you , but were all entitled to an opinion however i would put money on it that we would be a lot worse without Lee.
The issue is because he isnt a Media Whore or a Eastmond style player a whole bag of hard work goes un noticed from him.
He is worth another year or two for sure

Same for Ewan as well

Yep...Both grafters, and every club needs the grafters..Radford is a very experienced player who is underated by some fans.

well said! and very true

You think thats the issue? Really?

good this has been his best season since he was 18

who can we get better for the same money and local which we ahve to have 8 of next year

I've mentioned plenty of times previously, with specific examples, of how he is targeted around the ruck because of his often sloppy work in the tackle. He's seen as a player to get at, but to try and avoid his strong front on defence.



Something else I've countered many times. The most often used defence of Radford is that 'he does the little/unnoticed things well'. That's just a complete non-argument, not mentioning any specifics, and is a cop-out used by people don't really know what the 'little things' are rather than get into a more technical discussion.

Guess I dont know anything then

you cant say stuff like that on here what are you thinking numpty!!! fancy coming on here and blatantly using common sense and facts to back up your argument shame on you

I don't know whether you do or not, but I do know that the 'little things' argument is vacuous and meaningless without expansion.
