Good luck to him in the future.

Agree, hopefully he'll get a good coach who can utilise his talents.

another indication of how great Radford is(n't)

all the talent, needs a good coach. I hope he leaves and ends up winning in the NRL, will prove that Radford should be driving a coach, not coaching a side.

He must be kicking himself for missing his chance to showcase all this talent over the last two years. A classic Hull FC half back panic signing. Good luck to the kid I hope he makes the grade elsewhere he certainly always tried when he played but then lots of players do that.

We shall see, he'll walk away with a few grand in his pocket, as you say, we wish him well.

is it the job of the halves to be defensive?

I know for years Horne has tackled everything in sight, but is that the job the halves should be doing?

I just think it's a bit unfair castigating Miller, a young lad, bags of potential, poorly managed/coached.

But cant you see, all these posters remember seeing Sterling, Edwards, Gregory, Goulding, Harris, Schofield, Langer, Burrow, Maguire, Lewis, Johns make 50 tackles per game each with none missed.

all these posters have f'g clue about how the game works, they believe in "the collision" and "the wrestle", they've never seen a penalty given for "feeding", most of them never set foot in Boulevard and yet they know everything.

can you imagine Miller if he was coached by Hasler.

I cant believe i missed Hasler off, (to be fair i tried to avoid Hull players in the list)

Even Miller coached by Wayne Portlock would be much better!!

Maybe it'll be better in the second stanza

am sure he'd go for the one pointer and someone would be fuming

Sky, ruined true RL and created a generation of degenerates.

People are saying that Fitz giving him his backing is a good thing, Fitz did a job for Hull, but we won nothing and he wasn't actually that good, he was a decent player in a bang average side.

I was more alluding to the fact that Fitzgibbon was seen as a model professional and very highly respected by his fellow pro's and coach's he played for so if he give's Naughton big raps then it can't be a bad thing, can it?
Whether the lad is good enough to make it is an entirely different thing.

Not a bad thing, no, but surely if he was "all that", he'd be staying in the NRL?

Hope he goes well, would be great to be proven wrong for once.
