Disappointed today I know we had several 1st teamers missing,but we have been thrashed by the team favourite to be bottom.I know its only a friendly,but I would have hoped we would have not conceeded 40 odd points.It looks as though we need our best side on the pitch or our replacements are not up to it,so hopefully we get a fair run injury free,once we took our 1st choices off last week the game changed.Hopefully naughton is ok. COYH.

It's a friendly.........doubt if Wakey fans will be jumping for joy with beating a under strength hull side.......I may be the odd one out here but il wait til the season starts and points up for grabs before knee-jerking.

Taken of the Wakey board.

We played well, although it was a very understrength Hull team who left out about a dozen or so regulars and Ellis obviously waan't fit and only played the first 20. Bit you can only play whats in front of you and we'll gain some confidence from it even if we didn't learn a great deal. My one worry is, after games against understrength Leeda and Hull teams and a very average Fev side, that we could be a little under done come the first game.

Didn't our starting 13 play against York ???????

But that was nothing more than a glorified training session, hardly what we'll be facing in a fortnight.

Pretty much, a strong squad throughout for that one. No win for Radford today, but the positives are we could be looking at a fully fit squad in a fortnight's time and have had the squad together since early November.

Jordan Thompson played himself into the 17 today for me. The starting pack picks itself (of which we only saw Ellis briefly today):
Paea
Houghton
Watts
Ellis
Mini
Westerman

Bench less clear cut.

Can't understand our pre season team selections at all, we play our strongest side against the weakest opposition (York) rather than testing them out against Rovers & Wakefield??

it'll be a full month between the York game and Huddersfield game, and we're expecting the team (with new half-back combination and other new additions lets not forget) to gel instantly? Can't understand it at all.

Could be between you and Bradford for the promotion when the league splits I'm affraid

You judging that on pre-season........you was 1 season wonders,let's see how you do

its certainly not done the Radford or the club any favours.
Winning breeds confidence

Pre season friendlies in terms of how the season is going to go mean pretty much nothing however I don't understand why Radford didn't play some more of the first team squad which was not carring knocks like westy to get used to playing with each other.

The squad's been training together since November. Maybe the first choice combinations are working OK in training?
