That said I think Hadley could do that role by being a little of both. But my preference going forward would be hadley as starting 2nd. Mini off the bench. I'd start with Taylor Bowden as props. Watts at loose as 3rd prop as he could pace himself a bit more than at outright prop thus having more mins on field which is better for us as he's a more Xfactor player than our other props. Plus has nice hands to make a pass when needed. Impact player brought in to come off the bench with mini. 2 players capable of changing a game through impact and energy a bit like cas with moors and lefeo

As I said in a previous post under the current way we play no it wouldn't work, that's not radford's style. however I think with the halves we have I think having a SOL or Westerman type 13 (As in the Westerman at Warrington) if used in the correct way would enhance us.
I would honestly rather see hadley in this role as he's a better passer than Westerman and can cover DH if need be. this then means we don't need to carry a lightweight forward like Washbrook to speel or cover for DH and can go with 4 big forwards on the bench for certain games so in fact we are not losing the firepower at all, we just have a player capable of covering a la Washbrook who is younger, faster, can pass and tackle better and the possible flexibility of a ball playing 13 as Washbrook was going to be in his early days.
In fact Thompson was used in this way when he got his start ahainst St.Helens from what i could see.
as for the most successful season, well no it wasn't.
We won one trophy by the skin of our teeth a trailed away badly thereafter with big forwards that were shot to pieces.
Having a mix of mobile forwards and some grunt is most desireable especially during the warmer weather and for better overall endurance.
I don't see it happening but I think a ball handling 13 if we change how we play makes us a better team.

It was far better than Gentles two 6th place finishes that you eulogised about while shouting from the rafters to get rid of Radford.
Nobody listened to you thank fook.
We could well have been up poop creek without a paddle if anybody had.

With the squad we had, a monkey should have got us to at least the semi-finals and a top 4. that wasn't down to Radford for the most part, thinking it was then you're deluded. A better coach like Gentle and we'd have won the treble.
As i keep saying, Radford has reaped some proper investment (Actually an over the cap squad last year) and the youth system, Gentle had none of that and had a shocking injury list and a team full of novices in critical positions. That in his first two seasons he exceeded what Radford did by a long, long way without any of these advantages just goes to show you know fook all.
genetle didn't get us into a relegation battle and not playing the direst rugby for 20 years or are those convenient facts ones you'd like to overlook?

Has Radford improved, yes he has, does he deserve plaudits, yes he does, but his first two years he was fooking clueless and a turd of a coach that destroyed the faith of many fans and brought to the brink of a disaster for the club.

I don't care who listens, i can write what i like on this forum and abusive neanderthals like your ilk can jog on.

Damn Dave, I was about to highlight the exact same thing! Bumpy had zero credibility already before that post - now I'm thinking he needs sectioning!

I can't really see where my post was personally abusive, but this is.
If I wasn't obviously aware you have some serious issues then I would consider duly reporting you through the moderation process. :D
