Absolutely just banter. I just hope to god he was joking about using the same playbook he used when he was here

Interesting story if your dad was his biggest fan. The player was not English.

I'm all for banter, but his Connor remark is personal, what other coaches would mention an opposition players weakness publicly.
At times (and I thought this when he was at Hull) he needs to think before he speaks

Just been reading up on him - was before my time I started watching 1975/6 - was he the Freddie Miller who played for the Rabbitohs? They're the team I most enjoy watching in the NRL , Cody Walker and Latrell Mitchell are seriously talented, wouldn't mind either here at Hull. That is why I was talking about the World Cup- if they bring a squad remotely resembling the strongest they can pick , it'll be a massacre, when you think that if players are picked in their club positions, at full back its either Mitchell, Tedesco or Trebojovic (spelling). Wow! Surely they'll revert to the origin selections and find a place for all 3. Throw Stephen Crichton, Zak Lomax, Reimus Smith, Jason Saab, Ado Carr, Munster and Hughes into the mix and that is frightening.

To be honest I think its poor judgement from Radford and its not the first time. I'd have thought he'd have just got his head down and gone about trying to turn things around at Cas as they have looked truly awful and akin to us under him other than the two cup wins. The Cas fans certainly arent happy with what they seen nor does it seem some of their own players. Either way its just cheap jibes and hopefully BH, Connor and the rest of the team will have the last laugh come 5pm on Sunday.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
Can’t see any banter in that article. Radford says he sees a lot of plays he put into place at FC!!!! Maybe last season when Sneyd was here, 5 drives and a kick, it’s all either of them are capable of. As far as his comments regards Jake, I’ll take what he does at their end, pretty sure it will be more then they do against him at our end, he catches the ball in the air better than most and that’s the biggest threat they have. As I said last week, I met some Cas fans before their game last Friday and all said “Radford’s under pressure now” and interestingly, they also said they should have signed either Gale or Sneyd!!!! Hopefully tear them a new one, Sunday.
Liam Watts isn't looking like the prop we sold, could that be the Radford effect? It is all well and good saying they've resolved the problems they had at Hull but the feelings that this provoked, in the player and the sentiment carried over, by the coach don't simply vanish and I'd imagine there is a deal of resentment, both ways, which must affect the player and is this why he is looking so poor this year? On his day, Watts is the best prop in SL, certainly I thought so when he was with us and I was gutted to lose him. Could we get him back I wonder?
