I don't get this extra money either, who has Radford bought? Sneyd is the only bug one that comes to mind, whilst Powell bought Hardaker and Watts. Both teams will be operating at full cap.

There is no doubt Powell is a good coach and has the knack of improving players, same could be said for Radford with the likes of Bowden, Griffin and Connor.

Two big concerns for Powell is his ability to win big games and the lack of development of young players, two of which Radford has done or is doing.

Radford signed Tuson

Stay on topic mrs b , what’s this got to do with the Catalan game . But since we are of topic, did anyone see the quality of the st George v parramatta game , wow , now that is proper rugby league , I miss it

TBF it was Bombed Out and bonaire navigating the conversation towards Powell, I was just responding with some different perspective.

Stats don't make great reading all round but another 100m+ shift from Josh Griffin.

eels v st George was a great advert for rl,superb game,some great tries and a 30000 plus crowd,with both sets of fans sat amongst each.no crowd trouble,no segregation,no bottles throw.uk sport take note.

Same with Toronto. Basically every home game is a beer festival yet there doesn't appear to be any bother. No heads screaming abuse, no aggression or fighting in the stands, nobody spoiling the occasion for others.

If only we could go to the Kcom expecting to see games like this. The best I've seen in a long time.

yes,the kcom stadium rarely delivers exciting games with great atmosphere.few away supporters bother coming,most away teams do come pumped up,unfortunatly hull players dont seem to like playing at home for whatever reason.after 7 home games this season the only times that hull have looked interested have been 20 mins against leeds and the second half against rovers.the rest has been average to rubbish

I blame the coach lol

Yeah,let's hope it doesn't catch on.

I didn't think we'd win but couldn't compromise myself by backing Catalans.
I'd feel treacherous.
Stupid but true.
See the bookies have us as early favourites to beat Cas. Hope their right this time.

after the latest debacle last Friday,are the club and the players taking fans for granted?we keep hearing that the players dont like playing at home,ive watched hull play at the boulevard from the mid 60s and there were some poor fc teams inthose years and some great ones,but I never heard any player say he didn't like playing at home.anyone who has bought a season pass in the last 3 years has been short changed.even in 2017 when we retained the cup,there were some shocking home perfornaces.same with pearson,did he look at how many season passes were flying out the door in the close season and think why buy a marquee player and really strengthen if we are all buying passes anyway.ive been a season pass holder for nearly 30 years,but I find myself thinking shall I pick and choose my games next season and not bother with a pass.

If you have been a passholder for 30 years you will have seen much, much worst times than this. OK the last two seasons haven't been grest, but we haven't nearly gone bust or faced relegation.

There has been some bad performances, but also lots of positives at the club at the moment. I think we are only 3/4 players off competing again, which we couldn't say that it the past.

it's hard to be consistent these days due to injuries and the salary cap.

Injuries and salary cap don't have anything to with effort and intensity, we all know we have injury problems, but that doesn't excuse effort and intensity, both cost nothing

yes,ive seen some rubbish over the years and I keep coming back,but this team has talent ,but for some reason cant be bothered in some games.both London broncos and rovers are both inferior to us,but neither side has had 60 plus put by them so far this season.we ve had 2 60 plus defeats against us.its not good enough.
