Will get a good reception from me. Bloke brought us 2 back to back Wembley wins. Great times and memories. Yes things went downhill near the end but always have a soft spot for our Radders

Absolutely he will hopefully get a good reception, brought may fans one of the best days of their life back in 2016. Hopefully the same goes for Fonua and Faraimo aswell.

No ill feelings towards Radders. 16 and 17 were fantastic memories, which he played a huge part in. In hindsight probably stayed a season or 2 too long, but we move on.

Hope he leaves tonight with an L

Agreed he deserves a warm reception from our fans, a respectful round of applause at the very least.

He’s a Dobbin!

What are you all saying?

It will be embarrassing if he gets booed.

Re: RADFORD : Fri Jul 22, 2022 11:17 am  

I’m ambivalent if I’m being honest.

Grew up a Dobbin, bailed early on, came back, plotted against the incumbent coach, got two amazing Wembley wins (thanks as well Motu), stayed two years too long.

Whatever. Won’t boo him, but won’t be giving him a heroes welcome.

Definitely based on success the best coach we've had in my lifetime 34 years

Mcrae Peter Sharp and John kear were good but think radford edges it purely for trophies

Hodgson is a major downgrade at the moment imo

Peter Sharp was a great coach. That run in 2006 was a superb.

Got a rough ride when we should've stuck by him.
