The source of the started rumour on Manu is very good, knows most if the Hull team and many other SL players through his business.

I know we don't need another backrower, but he is just too good not to sign and I think the club are thinking long term as Mini and Ellis will retire after next year and I think we might lose Westy the year after.



Same source as me then!

Motu Tony, torn Achilles tendon. Exact same injury as Gareth Ellis. Any comeback hopes shattered. Real shame because he has got himself into great shape and had a genuine chance with combining his current role with that of your interchange hooker.

Don't want to turn this into a slating Radford post, but it really doesn't matter who we sign if the coach cannot get them to play!

Depends. We'll likely finish 7th this year. Upgrades to the back row. Props better for including Ellis. Proven NRL winger replaces Lineham. Tuimavave replaces Rankin. Issues of lack of proven centre and interchange hooker no different to this year. Could be OK. Not Top 4, but that's unrealistic.

Think we'll definitely finish 8th, Catalan usually pretty good when it comes to play off rugby, can see them upsetting a few

It may all turn on whether we can beat Catalans at home.

We can recruit new signings until 'the cows come home',
but until we are coached as a team, things wont change.-IMO.

Depends how you define "not changing". If you gave Radford Leeds squad, it's fair to assume they'd beat our current team. Quality of playing personnel, believe it or not, makes a difference.

Will we break through the Top 3 "glass ceiling" with the 2016 squad and Radford? No. Would we with another coach, like Paul Anderson, or Frayssinous, or even Darryl Powell? Unlikely IMO. We might do better next season though than this. We have done better this season than last and the squad's better. Not an outrageous scenario.

Of course,quality playing personnel ,does make a difference,but the key is, too gell them into a team. and not into a group of individuals.

Players still mis-time runs, our passing is still slow & inaccurate, also 10 yards from the opposition try line, we are not decisive, we look clueless we have no set plan.

Playing against the top 4 in SL, our attack is nullified by the oppositions fast defensive line speed.

IF Radford,Last & Horne were at Leeds, Leeds's performances would slowly dissapate.-IMO

For mine, a proven coach would gell us into a 'team, I'm not saying we would be top 4, but at least we would be 50/50 chance of winning against a top side.

I doubt Castleford 's salary cap is on a par with us, and the difference in team ethic & performance, is noticeable. in my opinion as individuals,we have better quality players than Castleford.

Personally I have zero confidence in our coaching team.
