| Quote: bonaire "Griffin may have been playing better but has no guile to be a quality centre that we need and his tackling,passing/timing is not good enough.
If Kelly is fit then Connor is the best option at right centre.
For me Griffin is ideal coming off the bench as an impact second row.Had his best games coming off the bench.
If we sign another big centre/wing to replace Fonua and the more i see Griffin play he is more suited to a second row forward.'"
He had plenty of guile in the MPG.
Griffin appeared to me to be suffering with confidence. Maybe it was the new environment, the expectation, the bigger crowds I don't know, but he's beginning to find his feet. His defence has always been his downfall, it's his reading of the game and positing, rather than his physicality, but again, I've seen this improving of late.
Also, we're not a side that throws it wide often. He's barely had a chance in open space, and rarely gets the ball in a position to put his winger away. It's similar for Carlos & Fonua on the other wing. We don't play expansive rugby and I think he's taken a while to adapt to that and realise how he could be more effective in the way that the team plays.
He's not a second rower IMO

| Quote: Karen "And to follow up on what Chris has said, I will start banning people who insist on bringing up past posts in a blatant attempt to inflame a situation. It's ridiculous. We are all adults and we have all said things we regret. Last Good Friday, with 20 minutes to go, I turned to my lad and said "Enough is enough, he has to go now". I was wrong, and I'm happy to admit that, but we all felt the same way about Radders at some point, however short lived it might have been.
This forum is turning into a children's playground and it's time it stopped. If you don't agree with something then have a reasoned response, do NOT resort to name calling because the end of my tether has been reached.'"
And that's all I wanted when I stuck up for him from the constant jibes.
Glad we can now all move on.

| Quote: DGM "The issue with this certain poster is the abuse, lies and false accusations made towards Radford at the time, coupled with him trying to get Radford sacked from his job. Not once has he held his hands up and said he was wrong or apologised for any of that, and that's why people are bringing it up following the success he said we'd never have under Radford/Pearson. We've even seen in this thread he's resorted to petty insults.'"
Please state what was untrue and I'll apologise.
I won't apologise for having an opinion, I won't apologise for saying stuff that was proven to be true by the club itself and what subsequently happened, I won't apologise for calling the club/AP/Radford/Motu Tony out over certain matters that I explained at the time and was never rebuffed by anyone even when the evidence was there to prove I was right(& i explained it in detail)
At the time I called Radford out regarding his coaching credentials, certain words were taken out of context as a personal attack, I repeated what it was pertaining to and yet this was brought up again and again. I also called him crap, inadequte, poor, unable, not having any ability, poor man management and so on, yup, guilty as charged. I called Radford all these things and more because AT THE TIME he was gash and AP was making decisions that didn't make any sense AT THE TIME which was having a direct effect on the club, our performances and how the fans felt. I've also given praise when it was deserved and recognised when he changed things and said so. I've also tried to enter into discussion about when we have failed to do x and yet you can't have a reasonable discussion because of the way certain posters behave on the forum.
But you think me alone could get Radford sacked because i started a petition/wrote some words, that's really quite funny. Frankly at the time the way he was going he deserved getting the sack, hindsight is a wonderful thing though eh! As a paying supporter of my club man and boy (for 39 years) I think i have a right to put my views to the club/call out the coach when he's doing a mickey poor job, this happens everywhere in all sports.
As I have repeated, I put down into words what i beleived was true, from what was happening and what did happen I was not totally unjustfied in saying so, again I'm not going to retract it nor apologise for it, I have no reason to. Did things turn out differently, yes, was I wrong in predicting the future, yes.
Pearson/Radford/coaching team changed what they were doing, changed how we played (massively), got the correct personnel in throughout the squad for the first time since Pearson took charge and the best squad we'd had since the 80s. At the time of writing the petition, that didn't look remotely like it was going to happen.
Am I glad things have changed, of course, do I want things to continue on in a similar vein with further improvements/challenging for trophy's every year, absolutely, this is my club, i want us at the top all the time and playing entertaining rugby, do i regret what i said despite all the abuse/cheap-shots from you and others at every avenue, not for a second. Do I regret calling Radford gap-toothed on the forum, yeah, it was uncalled for but he was a turd of a coach at the time and dragging us backwards rapidly with no idea whatsoever about how to do things on any front. Will I continue to say exactly what i feel about things, how we are playing, what is good and what is not so good, yup, I'll never let certain types dictate what i have to say even though you and others tried your level best to supress open debate/discussion/opinion/chatting about the goings on at the club
I'm glad the mods have finally come out and made it clear regarding such so people can feel free to say what they feel, rightly or wrongly without fear of being hounded off the forum.
Having differences of opinion is what happens on forums, i disagree vehemently with certain things and I'll endeavour to respond, being gauded/baited in the first instance will mean I'll fire back likewise on occasion.
As it happens I disagree more and feel just as passionately about things that crop up on a bicycle forum, but we don't get into slagging/baiting/gauding other posters, not anything like the rabid manner that has occured on here.
Without the baiting the forum will be a much better place to discuss everything Hull FC/rugby league, just draw a line under it (or not), the choice is for you and others to decide.
