He'll be no good at our club with that sort of attitude

Well there are just 3 teams with more wins, 2 of them employing marquee players I think.
Maybe if he replaces one of our so called sentimental re-signings Radford may be upgrading the squad, a good thing.

Oh the irony
It was a tongue in cheek comment regarding his statement made (if you actually read the links you posted) and our attitude and performance yesterday.
He should be an upgrade as some of our players are finished so not a lot to compete with but yes I hope he definitely will bring something to the party.
I'm sure we'll be carrying marquee players next season.
Sneyd and Jones won't have come cheap from what I hear.

Don't know why but I hope we do actually sign some Aussie other than islander's. I am happy with Josh Jones but I really think the club need to sign a big name to excite the crowd. I know we need forwards but still think a class outside back is needed

The wail ran a similar article on jones a day or two before we announced his signing. Paying £100k+ on a player who hasn't really broken into first grade down under is a risk but probably tells you what pond we're fishing in

He won’t come over for much less considering the minimum wage in NRL is around 70k a year.A more well known prop would want in excess of 200k a year so I would take the risk

They may want £200k, but if nobody in the NRL wants them then they have to take what's on offer, or find another job.

The caps full for 2020, just the hooking role concerning for me as we rely on DH far too much, really think Josh Jones will be a very solid player, loves to run a line back against the grain, Savelio and him with a decent pre season will do well.

The caps full for 2020, care to elaborate? How many new signings does that include? How many retentions?
