didn't say miller was a thurston etc just said our young players need time. do you think any of those established stars never had bad games, especially in their early days as pros. incidentally miller n rankin did ok vs hudd, granted they're not world beaters but few their age are.
if i recall correctly many hkr fans weren't convinced about burns last season(especially his temperament) yet you all seem happy enough with him now . same with welham, whose early career defence was shocking but over time has improved

I beginning to think Radford is playing this as if he is East Hulls coach - whoever turns up for every training session during the week gets the gig. Now come-one this is the big boys league best 17 and you should know that by now. And by the way get the bloody goalkicking sorted because Richard W is not the answer - body language mate I can see it so I am sure you can also.

I agree about Houghton , fantastic defender but far too often picks the wrong option. He must average one forward pass a game.

Makes the Azza omission more baffling when he would have offered different options attacking wise to Horne. I do get what the OP is saying though, I think we do look better then last season and even if we have had 7 years to correct certain aspects of our squad Radford has only had 6 months.

Jury still out for me, were not top 4 but were far from Agars tenure too.

You make some good points, then you go spoil it all by suggesting Welham's defence has improved.

The flaw with your thread is that the Hull FC halfs are both young Australians who will learn a lot playing here but will then go back to Australia so Hull Fc will get no benefit at all from their additional experience.
In any case I don't see Hull Fc keeping Miller after this season.They will try and offload him for certain.
