As I said, I'm not knocking his decision to move on in order to further his career and maximise his salary, I'm questioning the RFL's decision to award him a testimonial for having done so.

None . cant stand his play and when he was Captain we finished bottom

So people are only entitled to express an opinion on a player if they're prepared to repeat that opinion to the player's face? What an odd concept.

there are a fair few players who have been granted testemonials in the same circumstances, stanley gene, keith senior, rob purdham to name a few. imo, anybody who plays this sport for 10 years deserves it, it's their popularity which willl determine how much they make from it.

in the case of radders, can't knock him for donating some of the proceeds to charity, well done.

whats odd about it if he feels that strongly about it it must be just me then i wouldnt say anything behind someones back that i wouldnt say to there face its easy to do that with a computer a lot harder to say it to the face you just come across as a w****r with no bottle

Top bloke is Radders and will be there to show my appreciation today.

Todays game will be a lot better than last weeks as we have had a 80min hit up.As for the testimonial,Not Lees fault he has been awarded one and all the best to him on having one but i wont be going as i cant afford it today.

I didn't realise it was the Radford jumps ship testimonial? Aren't the RFL rewarding him with a testimonial because he's made more than 300 appearances in their leagues? Seems a simple concept, really.

It is a simple concept, it's just not one I agree with.

The RFL have awarded him a testimonial for services to the game, not services to Hull only. Think most people understand why he signed for Bradford at that time - it was to ensure he had a job, not further his career and maximise his salary. Who knows what would have happened had Hull remained solvent?

Would you not agree with Clive Sullivan being granted a testimonial, for example?

I'm not sure about it myself, but it seems like people are just using the concept to 'Radford bash" it's hardly his fault.
It should be recognised though, IMO, it's an excellent achievement, I can't think of any other way to do it.
Maybe a handshake and a Rolex?

yes i have said negative things about a player and if i saw them in the bar after the match i would say it to them the difference is some of the things said about radford have just been nasty and disrespectful not just as you say an opinion

Embaressing thread this one and i also cant get me head around fc "fans"bashing Radders.
