Crooks will come out eventually; then you can all take back your word on how badly radford has treated him.

Why don't you just say now?

How pathetic? more like your a short sighted so called fan who because things havent gone the way everyone wanted your jumping ship.

If you are a fan i put this to you.

Two options at the start of the year:

1) continue as things where just scraping into the play offs with a decent cup run every few years; never really going to do any damage to the tp 4/6

2) Start a fresh with the backing of a good owner and clear out all the old rubbish and build as wign did a few years back.

Sorry but there was none of this clear out talk at the beginning of the season when Radford was quite happy with the squad he had.
Rubbish as a coach and even worse man manager.The club is in freefall

I think people are looking for a comfort blanket and erroneously find it in finishing 6th and getting mullered when it counts.
AP sussed it and shipped the lot out - whether Radford was/is the right man to take over is clearly at the moment highly questionable.

radford doesn't seem to me to be the sort who will allow players to be added to his squad who he isn't happy with.

SA + Talanoa both Tony signings.
Colbon was a shoot in the dark and is on nothing wages but it all counts.
Tuson on paper great signing; injuries have made him a questionable one. Thompson signing easily makes up for him.
Like ive just said above the truth about crooks hasnt been released. He trains invdividually anyone who goes down to watch training will see this. Obviously more that "doesnt like him" told will be gone end of year

Sorry, you're going to have to explain to me how Gentle/McRae signing Thompson makes up for Radford signing Tuson. Not that I'm writing Tuson off yet, but I don't see how a good signing by one coach can make up for a (so far) bad one by another.

On Sa,

Lee Radford wrote:

"Setaimata is a great signing for us. He is exactly the calibre of player we should be bringing into this club and a significant move in terms of our recruitment process," said Radford.

Doesn't exactly sound like he didn't want him, does it?

And on Talanoa, I'm pretty sure Radford himself said on radio that he looked at footage of Talanoa and chose him based on that.

Lets not forget Radford has also extended Talanoa's deal and claimed he was one of the best wingers in SL!

Don't get me worng I'm not knocking Talanoa as I think he has done a decent job for us this season in what us the most cataclysmic feck ups of a season.

As I posted on another thread whatever the rights or wrongs and who did what the simple fact is the squad that Radford has had at his disposal in not the 3rd worst in this league. Something is fundamentally wrong for this team to be playing as turd as it is.
