Agree, you couldn't fault his effort and he was playing in a poor team at the time. With the improvements both on and off the field the club is very different to the one he left. I have reservations but I trust Radford on this one. My concern is the future of Abdull as Radford seemed to indicate he'll play in the middle.

would be ironic if we won the CC and he hadn't been able to play in any of the games!

I hope ot works out for both parties. But you have to wonder what some of the younger players are thinking. He says in the HDM that it "went wrong in Canada, nothing bad", I'd quite like to know just what went on.

Sometimes people don't settle in a new environment or don't hit it off with a new boss.

He'll take a few weeks to get match fit and up to SL speed again so don't think we'll see him any time soon. If he was a big problem last time he was here radford wouldn't have taken him back so I can't see any issues there and on a low salary with a contract to play for it's another body who has the potential to be very good if it works out and who will be on his way if it doesn't

The club has nothing to lose

hopefully it was something like that, as JTP says (and others) we have nothing to lose.

Very surprised at this but as with Kelly could be a great bit of business.

Ive been taking in a few championship games and went to the Halifax v Toronto match. I couldn't believe the shape Joe was in his fitness is no way near SL. I think he had two stints of about 15 minutes or so.

His first week of training is going to be very interesting because he is going to get flogged!

Good luck to him though because he has all the talent in the world just needs to use it.

In Radders, AP and Ellis we trust.

Paul Hatton doesn't take any prisoners. Good luck Joe.

He 'didn't settle' in the Warrington environment, either. Rumours of party-animal extra-curricular activity. Could Radford resurrect his career? In his early days at Cas he looked a world beater. I don't think he ever lived up to that in his first spell with you guys and he most certainly disappointed hugely at Wire.

I'm looking forward to him, Hadley, Mini, Manu as our back row. I like the thought of Westy out wide with Mini off the bench for the middle period. He could form good partnerships with our centres and cause teams all kinds of trouble.

I’m told abdull I’d seen as playing in the halfs so think kelly is already gone next year . He isn’t going to rovers

Are Westerman and Watts not as close anymore?
Just a comment I noticed in Wilfs post.

Still best mates.

Aren't they now brothers in law as well? Bit strange signing one when we've sacked other one for being a div.
