Completely agree with this. If we don't get some points on the board, with the daunting opening fixtures we have, it could mean playing catch up all season and over anxiety towards games we would normally approach in a relaxed manner, which can lead to mistakes and pressure. I think Australia, although a good media and marketing opportunity could well cost us dearly, not just in terms of the results or possible injuries, especially if some of our prized assets are approached by NFL agents. They could be in any instance but this gives them a better opportunity to size them up first hand. Negative , I know but that's my fear.

Bang on.

Precisely, he seemed like a really warm, genuine guy but ultimately his decision making on players wasn't tough enough. He's currently an assistant at Rabbitohs I think.

I remain unclear as to who the players are that showed potential but Radford incorrectly released are. From what I can see they're mainly playing in the championship having been coached by others.

Didn't really help, as total nonsense.

The reason Miller failed at Hull was Gentle, he brought him to play the wrong role and he was on 3/4 times Turgut, he wasn't value for money,so Radford rightly released him.

Radford gave Crooks plenty of chances but he wasn't good enough and that's why he failed in Aus and Cas and is now playing in the championship.

Anyone else?

I can understand it, wouldn't be to harsh about it myself , but he hasn't been very impressive in the majority of games he's played, like you say , he's young , hopefully will get better, the coaching staff and others obviously see something in him

The only one who's left us that was better than Turgut that I can think of is Lee Radford.
