We've had a good start, a bit early to be laying rose petals at Radfords feet.
Too soon and too long, a one year extension at this moment in time with another year or two added based on performance would have been more appropriate. People saying LR might have gone elsewhere if we hadn't have snapped him up now are living in cloud cuckoo land!
3 years is the kind of contract handed out when you actually win something, not when you have half a good season following on from two awful ones. If come season end we have reached the top 4 and/or progressed in the cup then a 2 year would have being acceptable as that is very good progress and LR would rightly deserve a contract extension of that length, win something and a 3 year would then be appropriate, right now is too soon and way too long.
As for the comments regarding PG and SM, as ever not a scrap of evidence but certain people who twist any positives by Gentle as being all down to Radford and all negatives solely on Gentles head. Who knows where we would have been in 2014/15 I'd be confident we wouldn't have finished 12th with Gentle in charge. Given the same spending on quality players (motu was here in 2013) and more fruition from the youth set up (Gentle played the youth more than Radford did by far and that is an absolute fact that ive pointed out in the past) Gentle would have done better IMHO but it's just that an opinion based on how things had been turned around by PG in a very short period of time.
But he isn't here, Radford is and doing a good job so far this season, some same mistakes that are costing us that he just has to recognise and do something but the improvement in attack has been night and day compared to his first two seasons in charge, that has been the sole difference, not defence but attack. I hope he can continue improving and we can be there or therabouts season end, with the squad we have we should be contenders at least.
Very lucky man in my opinion to have kept his job based on the last two seasons. That said the club is going forward and Radford has to take credit for that. We are not far away from being a very good side and i have no problem with the club extending Radfords current contract. If our Chairman thinks he is worth a 3 year extension then fine.
Lets hope the wheels don't fall off and the steady improvement nose dives cos 3 year deal will seem like a lifetime . Deserves a deal on current form though but not 3 years .

I can't believe anyone doubted Radders, best coach in Super league.
We may need to buy a new trophy cabinet, to accommodate all the Silverware that's coming our way.
"It'll be jam tomorrow for all you (B)Radford fans who except mediocrity".
If wit was poo you would be constipated ,at the moment he is doing a great job and thats what bugs you,he is proving you wrong and it s hurting .If you cannot see how the Club is heading then you should give up and find another Club because even if we go on to to great things you will say its not Radfords doing

What you talking about?
I'm pretty sure I said in my post that Radford is the best coach in the league, why would it bug me that he's doing a great job? (answer that please), and he's not proving me wrong, I've tipped us for Silverware.
You've dropped a clanger there sunshine, or maybe you didn't understand and have jumped to the wrong conclusion.
When we win the title, this is what I'll sing We are the champions, We are the champions Radford is our king
