No I do not watch at different game...I watch a game differently to you. Compare his stats to other forwards and you may understand the value of Radders!!
Also unlike you it is not just this season I have watched this team, I must say considering you have only been watching this season you look a complete pr@t implying others watch a different game to you though

It's also coincided with our best run of injuries in years and the acquisition of additional quality in the halves and backs.

I honestly don't believe that Agar has not been trying hard enough over the years, and I can't see what he might be doing differently now just because of the additional pressure. It's more likely to be a combination of circumstances TBH.

so to repeat your own question, to replace whom at present exactly ??

I agree

Sorry to keep picking out your statements but I think the corolation between Ewan and paul is a million miles apart, Paul liked a drink more than most that is true however Ewan is a body perfect sort of player along the lines of Craig , he eats the correct items and supplements and does not indulge often in the drinking gang...
My opinion is that Ewan has never been an outstanding player but by that i mean he does all the ugly stuff like lee and it goes un noticed but his work ethic is exemplary by any means, but I have to say his commitment can never be questioned ever because he is 110% commited to the job in hand, his own rise in form went hand in hand with the teams rise in form and now there is better ball available more often you now see Ewan running better lines, harder and more often..
At present he deserves another year, if there is a player deserves a testimonial its ewan..
Never going to be GB, never going to run the full length of the field but will ALWAYS give 100% just like Radford!!

How can keeping Dowes hinder Aldous??

great post

having experienced players such as dowes and radders ect will only help but i would like to see a few of the young forwards get a bit of game time every week giving them a taste of first team and seeing where they are in there development

These kids know their place in the squad and are very level headed kids indeed, their time will come my friend as we all know a SL season will naturally open doors as injuries come along..
Next year i would like to see and expect to see both of those, Jack, Ben and Big Pearce have a run on ocassion as they develop with full time contracts...
SL pros nowadays eat some kids alive and kill their confidence so lets ease them in slowly and smartly as we are doing..
