I would personally like manu to do one more year, he’s been good this season, Now he s fully fit, and it would certainly be less disruptive to the team to replace one of starting back rowers next season than both. We ve all seen the consequences of loosing Ellis, Watts, and fonua in a short period. And with so many players occ this season the club needs to be smart with how it goes with future recruitment.
I see savelio slotting into mini s role as the season progresses

Yet he is now in the England squad under Powell

And the point is what exactly???

Watts has not improved as a player. He is playing the same as he did when he was at Hull. To suggest that Powell gets something different out of Watts is just plain wrong.

Dont think Watts is playing any better under Powell than he was under Radford but I think his attitude has certainly improved. I think Radford was always an aggressive type player and has tried to instill this in his players and perhaps Watts has reacted to this more than other players. Also people say Radford is a bullying type of person which may also be the reason Abdull left. Different people need managing in different ways and I think Radford only knows one way

Ask the England selectors

No better player think he as on the verge a couple of times, then did something silly on the pitch, seems to have stopped that at Cas Hull selling him might have given him the kick up the backside

If anything Radford really improved him, when we signed him, he was a decent prop with potential and during his time at Hull he became one of the best props in the league.
