so why do you bother turning up at all

Thats right, well, apart from being in the all conquering bradford side and winning every major domestic honour in the game. Hell, even Fielden said hes the one plyer he would pick for GB, must be a crap player just cause you said so. Radford does the work no player likes doing, and he does it better than almost any other player in this league. A captain he is not though.

Some people need to educate themselves on the finer points of rugby league, before slagging players off imo.

RL is not all about playmakers and speedsters. You need people to do the hard graft, both in defence and attack, and Radders does this in abundance.

He may not be the best on field captain in the world, but there is more to a captain than leading a team on the field for 80 mins per week. A captain is someone who should set an example all season long, both in training and at any other official club events, and it is in these areas where Radford shines imo.

Seriously mate get off his back. Yes he was poor last season, but come to think of it so was 90% of the team.

Can you name the 10% that played well then

If he's the worst signing we make then fine, but we need better players and definately a better on the field captain, fair enough he is a good club man and does a lot in training etc, then make him club captain, he is not a leader on the field.

Didn't you pull somebody up yesterday for poor use of English? if so, you should consider your own sentance structure.

If he could cut out the stupid penalties he'd be fine. That goes for Tickle as well.

add Thacks to that list.

Whats the added extra then Hutchie ?

A testimonial

Good signing.

Needs to have the pressure of the captaincy taken away though, even been saying it since the decision was first made, he's simply not a captain.

Especially when we have a reknowned "enforcer" coming in next season.

I would have waited and see how he goes this season.

Good news aslong as i starts to show his ways to the youngsters. He doesn't have the spark in it for me anymore so hopefully he'll sit back a bit in the second year.

And what credit does he deserve


He's useless.
No leadership qualitys .
HE IS A DONKEY.













Mark my words you'll all be calling him come next season


Bad move by Hull giving him a longer contract

shouldnt you be out stealing cars

Good deal for the club, the work radders does in encouraging the good East Hull youngsters to the club is a reason itself for keeping him onboard with possibly a coaching deal at the end of it.As Standee said make a gesture and have Lee as club captain but with a different on the field leader.

Eh? isnt that what a captain is supposed to do?, or do we just make Radders captain as a nice gesture for him even though he cannot lead a team,

I really thought that RA and JS were starting to take us forwards FFS !!!

He's already been here too long thanks to PS and now another extension. He is one of the biggest examples of mediocrity that our club should be shipping out. Let's get TL, TB and the Yak all signed up next !!

Never has someone so average achieved so much in the game of rugby league.

Whether this is a good move or not won't be clear until we complete our 2010 recruitment IMO.

Albo is clutching at straws and panicking already IMO

As someone has said above he needs to be at the club in some capcity as he fantasic for the club off the field and is a great influnece and help to the young players.

Berrigan is the on field captain, whether he as the title or not. He does all the talking, as does Cusack.

Although I expect it to be Crocker doing that next year.
