I smell bullsh*t with that excuse because Blackpool were at Wembley last week while there was Summer Bash at Bloomfield Rd. The Blackpool stewards were in Blackpool and not at Wembley.

"blatent option", maybe try 'obvious', or 'patent', blatent is totally the wrong word.
I agree with the sentiment though, he should have being pulled from playing a few weeks back and actually use our replacement from the squad but that's not Radford's style. He likes his square pegs into round holes no matter how sh ite it is.
it's a known that players with injuries are especially likely to not be anywhere near their best, to make an injury worse compounds that even further.
This is why Wigan do so well, they are not afraid to put junior squad members into the side in their normal positions, they then often as not perform better than an injured (or indeed fatigued) senior first choice player which works far better in the long run all round than the playing of injured/knackered players.
Radford should know this already and Sneyd should not have played the last few weeks.

Fairly standard for players to get surgery the day after the season finishes, playing patched up. Two options presented - rest and protection to see how it heals, or season-ending surgery. Unless the former is in contravention of specific medical directives it sounds the best option. Radford has already done well bringing Turgut and Fash through in breakthrough season's this year; clearly we won't have SL ready debutantes in every position so guess Connor will have to deputise for the foreseeable.

If only there was a private hotline so you could ring him and tell him all about the errors of his ways.
It's a crying shame you're vast knowledge isn't utilised more by the club.

No, just using a bit of logic and what has gone before in pretty much every season ever.

Think we need to tie down Radders to a 10 year deal after that stunning performance.
Every time we look like we're on a downward spiral he always seems to dig us out and p!ss on certain people's bonfires.
Love it.

Great that Radford's youngsters bossed those of the best academy in SL. Pleasing.

If player welfare's the be all and end all, surely it's a good thing that Hudds and saints postponed their game?

Somebody should ask Jamie Peacock for his thoughts on this. He's written 2 articles in the Mirror which are diametrically opposed to each other.

Was one when he was involved with a Super League club and one when he wasn't?
