I got the impression from the radio that he was mickey poor today?

Platt did alright today, nothing exceptional but he saved a couple of tries. He perhaps could have made a better attempted tackle when racing back to try stop their 3rd? try. But it certainly wasn't his fault that they scored, the poor defending by our threequarters led to the break.

Bradford Bulls RLFC the laughing stock of the league.

As a Hull FC fan, I would challenge that statement.

The mistake where he didn't pick up the ball to prevent their 40/20 could have been a biggie, luckily Salford didn't score from that.

Don't want to bag him too much, he played ok, but worth pointing out.

I've come to the conclusion that af is in fact an ubber wind up merchant. This is because it's the only way i can reason for his continuing backing of McNamara.

Are you a bit dim or what, do you think no-one had worked that out? Just as likely that the Crusaders will thump them.

As for the match itself, I can't really be bothered to go into too much detail but it was pretty depressing. Our attack was dull and lifeless and our defence was hot and cold.

We are carrying too many passengers at the moment and surely if McNamara is in charge for Wakefield he will drop some players? What has happened to Deacon? He looks well past his best and despite being a good player for us over the years, he needs dropping.

Plenty of other poor performers today though and the fired up performance we all wanted, once again never materialised. It is really hard to see how McNamara is going to turn this mess around and my confidence in him is the lowest it has been.

Some players need to pull their head out of their own backside and show some bloody fight.

Yes, fair point.. he obviously didn't hear the call but he should be watching and not relying on a call. But like you say, other than that he did alright.

I suggested dropping Deacon and Langley earlier in the week, I wish Macca had listened. Deacon was a shadow of himself again, and was played off the park by Myler IMO.

Why have we not kept with the combo we stumbled on briefly in Jefferies/sykes with Menzies in the Centre that made us us far more dynamic??? To keep playing the same 17 making the same errors with the same excuses and the same promises, no wonder the fans are fecked off.

The good games Vs leeds, Saints, Wakey look more and more like the exception rather than the rule. I think we can forget the 8 now, just cant see where our wins are going to come from.

What Im also worried about is that we now have two weeks for this and the Celtic result to fester, with endless talk in the press about where it went wrong and how we're in terminal decline. The chances of a decent gate Vs Wakefield next up will be slim.

I dont think he'll walk, I don't think he'll be sacked - but right at this moment I would not be surprised or upset to see either headline in the morning...but it wont happen.

i dont think he reads these forums to be honest with you lol.
