this ^^^


watching from the seats on sunday, numerous clean breaks in the first half, no back up!

the top teams have 2,3 or 4 players backing them, with our players its like a scene from a movie, "run forest run", where all our squad stand and watch!

The only time we backed up with two or three players was when we took Widnes apart.Then it was the speed guys in the team Lancaster,Shaul and Rankin

U are the epitomy of a hull fc knee jerker. He's spent 2yrs in union. In his own words dilluting his own skills. He's moved home n swapped teams mid season having not played for yrs. What would u be expecting n in a struggling team too! Better players than him would struggle!!

Knee jerker!!! You are aware the season is just about finished?
You are aware of our league position? (thread title should give you a clue)
I do agree Sa' hasn't been given much game time over the past 2 years. Injuries apart - why do you think that is?

Regardless of who is the coach the club is clearly putting a massive emphasis on promoting/developing youth players who are believed to be good enough. I seriously doubt there's ever been a time when this policy has been clearer or more important. If there's one thing that Radford can't be accused of it's closing the door on youth players

I have no qualms about his promotion of young players, just the lack of progress of those once they've `established' themselves.
Only Shaul of last years crop looks to be improving. Crooks, Lineham (ok he's been injured) Green & Bowden have gone backwards.
I admit I don't see them as often as you guys & others may have seen an improvement. Time will tell I suppose

When I met Pearson I asked the same questions.....crookes wants out as he thinks he is NRL standard when he needs to bulk up to help his defense. Lineham has struggled to get match fit after his injury. Our pack are just too nice with not enough grunt and that applies to green more than most.....they club are trying to toughen them up. This is just what I was told and it makes sense to me

What is everyone's obsession with having props who are big rough arses? This isn't 1980 anymore. As long as they make metres I couldn't care less how mean they are.
