Thompson hasn't come cheap either , and millers wage is stupid if true . So looks like another few years till we get the squad sorted and the coach has the players he wants .

Unless a coach is there for a significant amount of time he wont get the team he wants. The fact is another coach took this team to 6th and a final whilst apparently being mickey poor along the way.

I was discussing carvell,whom the thread is about,when you decided to mention rovers. tut tut !

If you people to take you serious and answer your posts with sensible debate (which to be fair mine was, although slightly off topic with the Rovers comment) you need to stop acting like a d##k 99% of the time on here.

There are few Rovers posters, who you can discuss rugby with like Mild Rover, Bishop and even RP (although he is unbelievable biased against Hull), unfortunately you are not one of them.

What classes as a significant amount of time?

You would be looking at 3+ years with 3 years being the average contract nowadays. But you would still have some players who were on longer deals.

Difficult to get them to go

At least you'll be free of McDonnell in the next week or so

Think that's what's allowed you to do a deal with Carvell

Has the lack of interest/relevant postings on the RLFANS KR board led to a merger of our board with theirs ? Anyone else getting sick of the constant thread derailments that are so commonplace on here now ?

Their posting are becoming increasingly desperate though - imagine being so desperate you end up trying to put a negative spin on swapping carvell for pitts

Also got told there's a few more of gentles signings radders doesn't rate or want in his squad , but is finding it hard getting rid of them as most are on stupid money and long term deals .

I was told our recruitment was massively hampered by this. mcdonnell, paea and the milky bar kid on way too much along with arundell, pitts and thompson, although they're at a lower level

Stupid in relation to their ability, although an australian accent added a significant chunk

If Miller's wage is stupid then I'd have thought it would make more sense to play the guy and try to manage him to get him to fulfill his potential otherwise as you say we just keep waiting and waiting and waiting...............

But if radford doesn't rate him and sees no potential in him , why would he play him and risk his own job .not every coach rate the same players , down to opinions . Also as a lot people were saying last year , all our signings were through the same agent . Something dodgy maybe happened , especially after what deals what certain players got .
