That's very sad if true, whatever his problem is I hope he makes a full recovery.



I wonder why the club hasn't just told the truth that he's receiving treatment.

Perhaps Fetuli wishes to keep it private or as private as you can be as a professional sportsman.

I wonder why people are discussing/speculating on his personal problems on this forum.

Everything said here is absolutely correct. Other clubs have success and build on it,we seem to go the other way.I feel sorry for Taylor,he's doing the work of two props,be burnt out before long. Last night Cas were getting three men in the tackle and slowing the game down,why don't we do the same,they seemed so smooth with everything they did and we looked disjointed and Cas also had a hooker who played like a hooker .Danny has been a good club hooker and a brilliant tackler but he lacks the creativity of other top hookers. Our right side was shocking last night and an astute coach like Powell soon exploited it.We have to get over winning the challenge cup twice and start living in the present,things aren't good and I can't see them getting any better.

This must be a cardboard cutout then....

I take your point but the club doesn't have to disclose the exact nature of his problem but is receiving treatment for it. Covering it up by saying he is injured only leads to speculation that something sinister is going on.



As I say I wish him well and hope he recovers and plays for us again.

It was really noticeable last night that we struggled to manage the speed of the ruck on both sides whereas cas did pretty much what they wanted

We don't know what's going on in the background. Unless talanoa authorises it the club can't divulge anything about the health of an employee no more than any employer can.



Maybe there is disciplinary action going on or something else we don't need to know

Have to feel sorry for taylor,great performance from him,connor and shaul both good,but paea,mini,miloudi,very poor.Watts outstanding for cas,could tell by his passion and effort how much he wanted to stick it up you,a huge loss him leaving.

Good time to play wigan after the world club challenge and a good chance to break the 13 match losing run.As a matter of interest what is the longest s/l run of losses ?

27 I think by Fax in 2003.

No one official source is making much of it at present for obvious reasons, but we are now level on 13 with our worst ever run of defeats in our history, I expect no one except the gloaters will want to hear that,. but its a fact.

What was the longest run you had when you were relegated?

Nowhere near 13,what was your losing run when gateshead took you over?

Good grief.! Cheers.

Think the best way to describe FC over the last two matches is gallant losers.

Yeah, they've both been pretty tight tbf, not just scoreline wise, I watched both and they've been games Hull have played well enough to win, on another day.

This losing run rubbish is b0ll0cks, its food for wums and headlines for the media, its 2 narrow losses, what happened last season means FA.

It means FA in terms of this season's league table but facts are facts, we've lost thirteen league games in a row. That's not "b0ll0cks" it's the truth.

It means something when one more loss makes it the worst losing run ever in our 154 year history

Radford has delivered us some positive history too.



Sometimes you have to take the rough with the smooth



What we do know is that we currently have a young coach who's already proved he can be a success and put silverware in the cabinet. And not just a one off fluke.

I'm not calling for radford's head but something needs to change and quick. The fans have been amazingly patient to this point but it won't last and our next 3 games all look like ones we're more likely to lose than win with our current form. To go zero from 5 with 16 losses on the bounce would be hard to take no matter what the circumstances.

Clearly photoshop or my source is e.

I know its frustrating at the moment Jake, nobody likes losing, but somebody has to.



The second half of last season couldn't be helped when we had the majority of our wage bill sat in the stands, and when some of them did return, there wasn't much to play for. dwelling on what went on last season, ain't gonna do us any good.



It'll turn, it just takes that one lucky bit of luck or bit of magic and then we'll be able to smile again, taking away the tension.



We're certainly gonna enjoy our next win, which is something to look forward to, don't ask me when it's going to come though, because I'd probably say at Wigan.

I admire your optimism lee

Theirs losing then theirs getting 70 and 80 points put on you, injuries no way an excuse for that , can accept the 2 narrow defeats this season , but on the back of 11 shamble defeats last season, no way can I be as optimistic as you

I don't think we were far off v Cas. The backs were well matched and their forwards probably just edged it. We still had several chances on their line but could not find away over, sometimes a little guile was needed when brute force was not working, though heaven knows Jake tried his best on that front.

If their forwards did edge it then they were really only up against Taylor and Westerman and a Danny tackling machine, so guess under those circumstances you could say it was a massive effort from Taylor and particularly Westy who did amazing considering he had to be ring rusty.



The rest of the pack can hang their heads for me, Litten apart. But oh how I wish Danny would just please please run at the line more, just to give their front markers something to think about.



Roby is a masterclass in that area, what will he do ? Run at the teeth ? run wide and straighten? simply pass, run past a dummy and then pass, kick over and chase ? kick long for territory ?

He has the defence thinking everytime. Because you never really know.

I just dont think Danny puts that same doubt in the oppostions mind. So they shape up for Danny pass option every time and usually they're spot on. His long kicking is quite good but its not an attacking threat in the last 3rd. Rant over.



We have to hope we take confidence into our next game and we build on our positives and make a real game of it, win or Lose.
