You've got to wonder about the mental state of a few of those players. The first half if we're honest wasn't actually that brilliant, but we were physical and enthusiastic and it looked like we would choke Leeds out of the game even if we were lacking a bit of structure and guile.

Then we come out for the second half, Michaels for some reason jumps the line on the blind side leaving a big hole behind the ruck and they score. At this stage, yes it's a bad start to the half but you still have a 6 point lead. You know Leeds are going to come strong but you just have to front up for the next few sets, take the sting out of the game and control from the front. Instead we give a stupid penalty away on the last, Leeds score again and from there we looked a beaten team. No one from 45 minutes onwards showed any heart for the battle and we basically let them do as they pleased.

Yes we were lacking a bit of size and had some important players missing, and Leeds played some really good rugby in the second half, but it's just not good enough. Some serious questions have got to be asked now.

The only thing I want to hear at Radford's after-match are two words - I quit.

Sinfield has just said hull are a great side,and had a job keeping a straight face.

Im totally astounded

Not defending Radford but would ask who coached the team in the first half when we were so dominant ?

A good job Leeds are not that special.I hope you're looking forward to when Hull FC play some really special teams,especially bearing in mind the way your team fell away.

I'm not astounded that we lost, as I never expected to beat Leeds anyway, but the first half make you think that we might get an honourable defeat, but that was just, actually words fail me at this point....

I think we probably need someone who can coach both halves of a match.

has Jordan Abdul been on the same diet as Maurice Blair?

Mrs barista,you accused me of being negative I will prove you wrong,hull played a terrific 1st half ok,then they benefit of a radford team talk and I'll say no more.
Earlier this week I told you we cannot do any good until we get a decent coach,radford is a total clown,strange how 1 or 2 seem to agree with me now,are most of our fans unable to see the obvious ???

And some players who can play in both halves as well - probably.

Last season I wanted Radford out. This year I was happy to give him a second chance, but that's just about that now. That second half can't all be laid at Radfords door, but it's obvious we are going nowhere with him in charge.

Sadly he's going nowhere though.

I'm by no means absolving the players of all blame, but it's odd how with so many new players we have exactly the same issues as last season. Almost as if there was some common factor at work.

And to think you were all giddy a few weeks back
To be fair Leeds would have blown any team away with that 2nd half performance

Can someone translate what Radford just said?
