I don't think I've seen any player put in less than an 80 minute (or however long they are on the pitch) performance in terms of physical effort this season which is actually a pleasing thing. Players are always going to make mistakes give away penalties and miss tackles etc. The job of the coach is to prepare the players sufficiently to limit the number of times this happens and to have a game plan that means we can still win.

It's no good Radford coming on the radio and saying we've all known for 10 years that Yeamo can't get his winger away and then critising him for not getting his winger away. He is the one picking him and/or not drilling a pass and catch skill into him in training until he can do it in his sleep. If he is incapable than either stop picking him or dont critise when he doesn't pull it off in a game.

Fair comment on kirk like I say the players will either sort themselves out & play how they should be..or sulk..or radders as got it all wrong..the next few games will be tough but we will sew.

We are being stitched up somewhere.

Well someone's been needling me!!

There are distinct similarities about the way Milky is being marginilised and the way Seymour was man-managed.
Players need to be given the opportunity. Especially those we choose to invest in from the other half of the world.

Lol predictive txt or sausage fingers!

He's obviously on the naughty step.

Who else will be on the naughty step this week.

The toothless maestro takes no prisoners.

Putting Miller in now with the pack we can field is madness of the first order.

Miller needs to be in but not now

It would probably finish him off for good.

I expressed a similar view a few weeks ago and it was met with derision.

Can someone tell me when you, as hull fans, were happy with the half back combination you had? This half back debate seems to have been going since the dawn of time! What I can't understand is how so many coaches can get it wrong or why recruitment hasn't been 100% focused on this! Do you think Horne been around as "the local lad" has had an effect on this? Nobody seems to be able to play with him.

For what it's worth, Seymour had loads of opportunities, he just wasn't very good. His off field problems were perhaps a part of the reason for that, but you can't lay the blame for his depression at the door of the club/coach/fans. Do do so is crass and unfair, and shows a singular lack of understanding about the nature of the illness.

But who else then? Heremaia simply has to go back to hooker, it's better to have one weakness than 2.

What we need to do is put Miller in (preferably with Rankin), be sensible about what to expect, and not immediately look to hang him from the floodlights when he doesn't immediately produce a dominant, match-winning display. I know it's a big ask for a lot of fans, but we need to give him the time to get an understanding with a halfback partner and the rest of the team and the sooner we start the sooner it will improve. It won't be an instant success, but we as fans need to deal with that (and the entire mentality we have around that issue) and give it/him a fighting chance.

Paul Cooke could. When he and Horne played together, I'd say most were happy with the combination. Since then, we've had other players who were capable - most notably Dykes and Head - but who couldn't stay fit for more than a few games at a time. It really is getting to the stage where, if the club don't pull out all the stops to sign someone to address this glaring inadequacy in the squad, fans will begin to drift away in their droves.
