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.

Every subject that comes out of Hull FC you find a negative (which is your prerogative ) but seriously I can't remember reading any positive posts from you..

Sorry, but can you find a positive in signing a talented young player that needs development, being coached by a pub landlord and then being paid off?

To be fair on Radford, he did give him more than a few chances in the first team this year but he simply wasn't up to the standard, especially in defense.

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.

Miller has had a few chances and sadly has shown that he is not (yet) good enough to be an SL half back.

However no-one could accuse him of not trying his best, which is more than can be said for some of our players over the last couple of seasons.

Good luck to him in the rest of his career.

I think all players in a team should be able to defend. One weak link at SL level and teams will exploit that link all day long. Ben Crooks another example of this.

Certainly not "castigating" Miller, maybe the coach has got to answer some questions as to why he hasn't progressed. It appears he wasn't up to the standard at West Tigers either. Does that mean he was poorly managed / coached by coaches in Australia as well as Peter Gentle and also Radford? They can't all be poor?

who knows, the guy has talent, more than Naughton.

When you get a young player you have to ask "why are they letting him go"

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.

Shame for the kid, but he's clearly not rated or wanted so probably the best thing is for him to go.

Just did a quick check and we won 5 of the 14 games he played this season (including friendlies) but he hasn't featured since the end of May. After being hung out to dry at Featherstone, I'm surprised he got that far.

Good luck to him in the future.
