It's part of our ritualised bickering. Like your passive-aggressive rhetorical questions.
Good night Black and White buddies.

The problem is Radford doesn't want speedy/agile forwards, he can't adopt a game plan for that and thus Thompson, Pritchard are/were wasted, indeed Abdull won't fit into Radford's crash, bang, wallop type of play and we'll go for another overpaid plodder instead of utlising the talents of JA. if either of our halves get injured we don't have a recognised half to replace them, we got rid of our academy halves Reece Dean/HTW remember then CT can do a job, maybe even Connor at a push but given how Griffin has being a dissapointment pushing CT or Connor into a HB role to cover for injury isn't ideal.
if JA rejoins us for next season in a starting 13 role I'd be surprised, as for Ellis, I think he's done, IF we were to play him it would have to be on a hugely reduced contract because of the risk I feel he poses injury wise, coaching/support role I'd have him in a heartbeat. if somehow we could retain him to play a handful of games next year on a limited playing contract but mostly in a support/back room role then that would give us the best of both worlds. ATEOTD only a select few will have an inkling as to what will actually happen.
Out of interest, who do we have currently that you'd class as an overpaid plodder?

Now you have Kelly (spit) signed up for 2018 can we keep him please?
He was nothing short of excellent today, he proved he's a super league player with that performance, only young an plenty to come from him. As I've said on our forum, I'm a big fan of his, even if he is on FCs books. He's certainly enjoying himself, and he's unbelievably trim these days, will be interesting to see who he ends up playing for come the start of next season, contracts aside.

Spitting? Hope you weren't one of those involved in the reported Hock kerfuffle after the game.
I'd be surprised if we get Abdull back tbh. Glad he's doing well though.

I was referring to Pritchard, instead of being tackle busting goliath (Thompson made 3 fewer by comparison) and wrecking defences, he barely contributed 20-25 minutes some games and considering his huge salary/how he was bigged up was a massive dissapointment IMO. Far too often he was an ineffective overpaid plodder.

He's been name checked a couple of times along with naughton by Radford in the week since the cap raise about next year He also signed a new deal in the recent weeks. I see no reason to think he wont be back I'd replace thommo with hadley Abdull replacing washy Naughton for michaels...come next year with their subsequent experience gained this year and another offseason I'd call all these as upgrades
