IF the club thought he was worth it/stopping NRL coming in for him we'd have signed him for 2 years or longer.


What a hypocrite. Where's YOUR evidence that he didn't get another offer?

Bumpy obviously knows more than our head coach who stated we had to fend off NRL interest.
Obviously, it goes without saying.

This is extra special thick....
It's Sika Manu...you know..the Tonga captain..one of their players of the WC..our coaches player of the year 2017
If he'd decided to leave he'd of had plenty of choice. Why would he of left for 1 legitimate offer? Connor Kelly Carlos would all have got deals elsewhere...what's the reason they feel like staying but Sika would be off?
He signed a 1 year deal as he'd only recently decided to put his feelings of homesickness to a side. He's mentioned it before. Even last year when with Kelly was our best player
It's not just clubs call to say how long people stay for. Crazily players can negotiate their deals. Mad eh

Exactly why?

1 year could just suit both parties.

Yes, I think it suits mainly Manu and his family. If they are home sick 1 year seems more doable for them

as you (and others) have said, suits both parties, he may even have plans beyond 2019/20 to move on but he's staying to give us time to get a replacement, be that externally or a player already signed/here?

To be fair to bumpy, it's pretty obvious that any player who signs to play under radford pretty much has no other optuions

Sure all players would rather be at KR, Widnes, Salford, Wakefield under their stellar coaching regiemes...

B2B Challenge Cups, Playoff semi finals, sitting 5th, Lee clearly has learnt nothing since he started coaching. Oh, don't forget, according to another poster it's his fault we're inconsistent (despite not being able to pick the same 17 from one week to the next)

And doesn't give young players a chance despite us being reliant on them for the last 2 months which is also radfords fault
