also thought paea had a good game, was our best prop for me, masi will get better next hopefully, bienik is our wild card, could be anything, if his hamstring isn't to bad might even see him this year?

Let's not expect too much of Bienek too soon. He's two years younger than Matongo and Fash. He might get the odd game next year (hopefully not because of an injury crisis) but he's probably a couple of years off being a first teamer. His you tube video is impressive but that's against lower league opposition rather than the likes of Amor, Flower, Murdoch-Masila etc.

Need 2 new back rowers who don’t have cows tits for hands. Can’t believe we’ve signed up Mini and Washy. Was all for keeping Manu earlier in season but he’s hardly played and when he has he’s been average at best.

Keeping them on sentiment by looks of it. Young kids not stepping up, be surprised if one of the current lot become a starting 13 player.

Who's available though? The market for decent forwards has dried right up.

I reckon Jordan Lane will make it as an SL player, and Cameron Scott could make a move to second row and do well. He's not got the pace for centre.

Australia, quota spots available if we didn’t keep Manu or Mini. Earlier in season Greenwood, Whitley, Sene Lefao all ooc, Jones probably available for a small fee.

We need more than just making it, we need them to become starters. Do agree on Scott though, he’ll be a back rower.

Dont believe a word of it.
Radford wouldnt know what to do with a squad thats full of pace

Re: Time for a change in coaching? : Sat Jul 28, 2018 6:45 pm  

Look im not in the Radford out brigade but questions to a degree can and should be asked. Why is brutality given out to youngsters but senior players can get away with bad performances ? Why haven't we replaced Ellis and Watts ?

Mini,Manu and Washbrook given extensions without performing to a high level this season. Defence as a whole not being good enough conceding 20 points at home to a side outside the 8 is considered a good effort.

I believe or want to believe Radford can change this around but questions should be asked.

Injuries aside I think alot of complacency and arrogance has bit the whole squad as a whole this season.

We couldn't get over the line the last 2 seasons to a grand final, so why we think we dont need any new faces is beyond me.

Twenty four hours and six pages later and only Tarquin agrees with you

Almost every Hull fan knows that only an idiot would want Radford replacing at the end of this season.

I don't agree with people wanting him out now, but he has an awful lot of work to do in the off season to get us on track again. There aren't very many (if any) positives to take from the last couple of months. We need a major rethink on how we go about things, because we dont have the players to go down the brute force and ignorance route anymore, amd I don't really want us to anyway.
