Once again we have more possession and get beat comfy.
Thought Watts and Paea were excellent and Shaul our only player who looked like scoring
Radfords use of subs is just terrible and worst I have seen from any Hull coach.
The backrow play too many minutes and then start making mistakes, Sa and Thompson played 80 minutes, Mini 60 without a break, this is why they start dropping off tackles and and making mistakes, they need to be spelled, having Howarth (who is so average) come on for a token last 20 minutes when you could have Abdul or Turgut on teh bench to cover the backrow.
So we have two hookers on the bench, so what does Radford do, he still plays Houghton for 50 minutes without a break, Cunningham comes on for about 3 minutes first half for a blood bin then gets subbed, that would have been a time to take Houghton off.
To bring Yeaman back in who offers nothing, except making errors and the odd 5 metres drive at the expense of Naughton who has impressed me sums up what lots think about Radford having favorites.
Micheals is so average I can't believe that we have him as a quota player, there are better backs in the championship.
Why not have Rankin on the Bench instead of Howarth, with Sneyds first game back and Pryce (who wasn't fully fit) carrying an injury.
I expect us to beat Salford in close boring game and then contiune to pick up the odd win at home, but come at least 4 points off the top 8 in 10th or 11th place.
Pearson was sat near me and didn't look happen although the game, he must see what we see and see how many people were left in the group at the end.
I'll be at the Salford game only because I have a pass (No chance of me getting one next year if we don't have a decent coach and start playing some rugby), but expect the crowd to be about 8k.
Not sure about the Cas game yet, but expect less than 6K for the game.
Low crowds are the only way that AP will act IMO.
