What a hypocrite. Where's YOUR evidence that he didn't get another offer?

Bumpy obviously knows more than our head coach who stated we had to fend off NRL interest.
Obviously, it goes without saying.

This is extra special thick....
It's Sika Manu...you know..the Tonga captain..one of their players of the WC..our coaches player of the year 2017
If he'd decided to leave he'd of had plenty of choice. Why would he of left for 1 legitimate offer? Connor Kelly Carlos would all have got deals elsewhere...what's the reason they feel like staying but Sika would be off?
He signed a 1 year deal as he'd only recently decided to put his feelings of homesickness to a side. He's mentioned it before. Even last year when with Kelly was our best player
It's not just clubs call to say how long people stay for. Crazily players can negotiate their deals. Mad eh

Exactly why?

1 year could just suit both parties.

Yes, I think it suits mainly Manu and his family. If they are home sick 1 year seems more doable for them

as you (and others) have said, suits both parties, he may even have plans beyond 2019/20 to move on but he's staying to give us time to get a replacement, be that externally or a player already signed/here?

To be fair to bumpy, it's pretty obvious that any player who signs to play under radford pretty much has no other optuions

Sure all players would rather be at KR, Widnes, Salford, Wakefield under their stellar coaching regiemes...

B2B Challenge Cups, Playoff semi finals, sitting 5th, Lee clearly has learnt nothing since he started coaching. Oh, don't forget, according to another poster it's his fault we're inconsistent (despite not being able to pick the same 17 from one week to the next)

And doesn't give young players a chance despite us being reliant on them for the last 2 months which is also radfords fault

but, despite that, "what have the Romans ever done for us"?

He dug a big hole and has been scrambling to get out of it by his fingernails for quite some time.
If he ever manages to escape to the top, it'll only be because of some form of club implosion.
Sadly, it's the only way his bitterness can be alleviated.

If bumpy got the job he could destroy the club in a matter of weeks.

I'd love to know Bumpy's thought on Gareth Southgate...

Anyway...

Sika Manu. Think we missed him on our right edge on Thurs. Could have been a big support for Scott. Wonder if we have someone lined up in 2020 hence the 1 year deals for mini and manu.
