We present a broad-band X-ray spectral analysis of the radio-loud activegalactic nuclei NGC 612, 4C 73.08 and 3C 452, exploiting archival data fromNuSTAR, XMM-Newton, Swift and INTEGRAL. These Compton-thick candidates are themost absorbed sources among the hard X-ray selected radio galaxies studied inPanessa et al. (2016). We find an X-ray absorbing column density in every casebelow $1.5 \times 10^{24}$ cm$^{-2}$, and no evidence for a strong reflectioncontinuum or iron K $\alpha$ line. Therefore, none of these sources is properlyCompton-thick. We review other Compton-thick radio galaxies reported in theliterature, arguing that we currently lack strong evidences for heavilyabsorbed radio-loud AGNs.
