Martyn Sadler has tweeted that Tony Smith appears to have ruled himself out of the Dragons job....does this increase the possibility he's taking over at Hull next year? Especially with the twitter rumours that Agar quit Wakefield to take over at Warrington next season?

So how many games do we need to win before you end your campaign against the club and most of the supporters who actually attend matches?

Against the club? 'My Campaign' as you erroneously state is against Radford for the reasons I've mentioned and to a certain extent Pearson, they aren't 'the club', you fail to make the distinction between them and what to me is 'the club', they just happen to be the incumbants.

As I stated at the beginning of the season, with the level of players we have we'd win some games with no coach at all and I stand by that, however under Radford it won't be many so how many games will it take in itself is completely and utterly irrelevent because with him aqt the helm we're furked.
IMO Radford is a backstabbing, two faced incompetent whom has the bare faced cheek to take a job he isn't (And never will be) anywhere near ready for. IF he was that much of a man he'd have said sorry Adam, I really am not ready, I need at least 4/5 years plying my trade (and not necessarilty at hull).
I don't want a man in charge who is graceless, has broken his word and in my humble opinion is not fit to even be an assistant never mind the head coach. he fails to see what the problems are and by his own admittance cannot fix them, he's incompetent, not skilled or nuanced enough to take this club anywhere near where we want to be and yet even though HIS failings are there for all to see we have him putting part of the blame on the fans
It would seem despite all that some fans are up his booty so far they could do a colonoscopy on him.

Does that answer your question?

Hull Daily Mail going with the Terry Campese rumour this morning, saying that he's a target along with Dobson and Leuluai.

They've got to be getting it all off here

Yes the supporters are paying to go to games, but AP knows and so did Kath, that as long as we aim for top 8 and win the odd playoff game, the majority of fans wil be happy. That's settling for mediocrity, just getting by, doing just enough to please the masses.

Just because fans continue to pay to games doesn't mean they are happy. It's called supporting your team through thick and thin.

Do you not read forums and speak to other fans? You can tell from the atmosphere at games that the majority of fans are NOT happy.

But they continue to attend games because that is what FANS do!

I can't open the link of the HDM website, but it looks like we have 3 halfback targets, in Dobson, TL or Campese.

All three are a massive improvement on what we have and all have high level experience of playing halfback, which is what we need.

Campese is the interesting one, as if we keep him fit, he could be exactly the type of half we need.

Him and one of the other two would work really well, but I would guess that is dream land.

Problem with Campese is he's held together with blu-tac. Adam Dykes all over again.

But we've got to be realistic, Campese ticks all the boxes. He's the only HB that A) Has the skill set we require B) Is vastly experienced at doing his job in the toughest league in the world; and C) Is actively looking for a SL contract and will actually sign for us (Dobson won't).

He's exactly the same sort of player Cooke was/is, even down to their physiques. It's a risk given his injury record, but one I think we have to take.
Leuluai alongside him would be immense.

Not quite - Dykes had only one bung leg.
Got to be favourite though, no one else wants him
& the raiders are desperate to get rid.

And Thomas Leuluai has a groin injury that might end his career.

From those three it has to be Dobson. It'll be good to have a player who can kick a ball.
