Sorry but I disagree, he was and still is woeful.

Why? What makes him in any way good?

Works very hard indeed. I appreciate that in a player. Every team needs a Lee Radford type.

It's alright having a hard worker, but you need one that actually makes some headway. Radford broke fewer tackles than Langley does.

Well I liked him.

Radford was the unsung hero of the formidable Bulls pack. A quality player, that we miss.

Some of the best signings of the SL era by the Bulls were not "top signings" and some of the worst were!
Most are up for debate though!
the following would probably be categorised as "surprisingly good signigs that nobody really made a fuss about when they were made"
Matt Calland
Mike Forshaw
Paul Anderson
Lee Radford
Shontayne Hape
Mick Withers
Andy Lynch
Scott Naylor
Ben HArris
James evans
Ian henderson
Marcus ST Hillaire

the following would be "thought they would be stars and ended up being p**s poor":
Paul Cook
Shaun Edwards
Nick Zisti
Justin Brooker
David Solomona
Nathan McAvoy (first time)
Tupou

These would be "why did we sign him, he's c r a p and we know it.....(then were proved right"
Abi Ekoku
Carlos Hassan
Andy Ireland
Nathan mcavoy (2nd time around)
Ben jeffries
Michael PLatt

these would be " signed as stars and walked the walk":

Greame Bradley
Stuart Spruce
Jimmy Lowes
Vaikona
Les
menzies
Robbie
Henry
joe Vagana


just some thoughts!!

Surely Daniel Gartner should be on that top list?!
