Another one that could come back to bit us in the middle eights like Miller and Arundel.

I though he was pretty good for London last year, he played at 6 against us and was by far their best player that day. I would have though he was a good option for your bench as he can cover 6,7 & 9. You must be looking at bringing another Hooker in as playing 80 severely diminishes any hookers impact later in games. Houghton's scoot would be a great weapon if he came on fresh with 20 to go.

Says in the mail that he's left with immediate effect, which to me hints at a fall out with Radford, as surely we'd have kept him on for the rest of the year as squad cover.

For a coach to moan about short turnaround and 3 games in 10 days etc, to get rid of your 2nd hooker and play Houghton for 80 minutes in all these 3 games is comical, but not a surprise with the coach we have in charge.

Cunningham is a talented player with a good future but he probably knows that the odds of fulfilling his potential under Radford are not great.

Suspect this might be something to do with his private life rather than any falling out with the club/coach. He's said he'll Tweet more details later which doesn't sound like there's anything sinister going on.

Good Luck to the kid. As others have already stated, he is a good player with bags of potential and has probably realised he won't get a chance under the Radford regime. Some thing needs to be done because the amount of young talent being allowed to leave/sold/shown the door is frightening. I know it's a business, and deals have to be done but not retaining good healthy players won't build a strong squad which is the key to the game.

Thanks very much to your club for letting us have James back.
Thought he was a very talented player when he was with us last time & I couldn't be happier that he chose to come down to the "Smoke" again.
He'll become an adopted, honoury Cockney soon.

So of the four freinds thats Crooks, Lineham, Cunningham all gone - only Shaul left and he wont last much longer. The future of our club discarded like

Don't worry, its ok. the club will probably replace them with overpaid, underperforming, contract breaking overseas players who can't get a game in the nrl

His girlfriends just got a first at uni, reckon got a job lined up down there so maybe a easy choice for him.

Why?

How ever much I want to see the back of Radford as our head coach, unless you know the situation (which I don't either) between Cunningham and the club, its unjust to simply blame Radford for everything.
