as long as it is on a reduce amount - as has been claimed - then I will be happy, as I think this has been Lee's best season for us

Will he play much in that second year?



Tbh, think Hull FC have done the right thing - you were potentially starting to look thin up front.

Not exactly!



I'm glad we've agreed to keep him on a reduced amount. Guess it add's weight to the story that Fieldon has decided to stay with Wigan.

Does this mean our other so called forward targets have turned us down.
Don't get me wrong I think Radders has had a good season,but 2 years ???
Wonder when Dowsey will be announced.

You must at least have a semi.

Detatched mate but not sure what my house has to do with Radders?

Good signing had his best year. Thought he was off to the mighty Robins.

, nah he would rather take a paycut.

Booo. Gerroff.

Well surely all the in The know peoples comments about 'FACT he IS leaving' will be dug up now Haha..
Glad he resigned personally..

He's had a fine season and I am glad he is staying, he brings bags of experience and professionalism to the squad.

I don't know why people worry about what he is being paid though?

No Fielden then?

People worry about wether we are getting value for money I guess.

Why?

Yak still going and possibly Dowes.

And a lot of people said he wasn't worth that second year, so it is a handy revisionist tool.

But they don't know what is value and what isn't. It depends on what deals we can do with other players and what else is available.

I personally would have given him a one year deal but if Agar thinks he can do two years then I am fine with that.

Hopefully Fielden,LMS or Hargreaves to come in.

Not worth a 2 year deal, very strange decision, hopefully his salary will of been greatly reduced.

Im not sure what radfords is on at all. People seem to have a real beef about players like radford,dowes and yak. Alot of fans seem to dismiss them as second rate forwards as the dont do what james graham does or they are not top tackle breakers. In these times of salery caps players like these are in fact a massive part of the makeup of a squad. When times are hard and yards are hard to come by these guys do stick the hard work in, making carries taking pressure off other forwards. Im happy that he has signed and a bit like tickle, gives us a stability to our team.

I know he has his faults, at times, but so do other players. People talk of the young lads learning from long, fitz and so on. I think alot of the young lads can and will learn alot from what lee does on and off the pitch.

I hope we not caved into him and the contract is structured in the clubs favour. i.e second year is less wages as the testimonial will be done

I don't know what the problem ever was about him getting two years? People like Wilf bleating on that his body will be shot to bits is a load of sh&te. He's really fit, trains hard and his injury record is almost none existent. Look at players like Menzies who is still doing the business and a couple of years oldern than Lee.

I'm dissappointed Rovers never got him to be honest, will do a solid job for you lot for the two years he's contracted.

Congratulations on the re-signing of an average forward!



Sheer madness to give him 2 years!

Think its fairly obvious we've offered a 1 year deal but the other targets we've had have obviously escaped us so as i said this morning we've probably changed our offer from 1 year to 2 in order to not be short of a front row next year.

Regarding his salary, its as Standee said for me. We want to make sure we are getting value for money and Radford is not worth a huge salary. (if he was indeed on one before)

A reduced deal for him for 1 year was ideal, 2 years is ok as long as it's a reduced deal to allow some signings.

But with Dowes going thay may have offered a little more and put him on the same contract as now, I think he is worth it IMO.

Surprised that he has got a 2 year deal whoever his agent is has done a great job getting him that.
