Other then the 7 role I think our recruitment is even or better for the new season, a couple of friendlys don't determine your season ahead, I think after last seasons lows people are just worried we are no further on AP is doing a lot for us in not just the season ahead but years to come.

Thats spot on it was still a friendly. Catalan is when it starts

you wont have it at all will you......"we had a FEW first teamers in for a BIT"
Fev had around 9 new signings in that side today who had only played together 2/3 times, with possibly 6 sat in the stand and not involved who were regular first teamers last season.
Take a look at the Hull team sheet and tell me which players from the following will not be regular first team later this month.......Shaul, Lineham, Yeamon, Crookes, Horne, Miller, Rankin, Watts, Green, Whiting, Westerman, Bowden, Thompson & arundel..........
admittedly you also had half a dozen players not playing..........but dont make out the players above should not be too strong for any part time team

Fev are better than a couple of the SL teams!
Still a dreadful result, but I won't be worried/bothered until it starts happening in SL games. Just feel sorry for Rich and also the travelling fans.
Hope Radders has laced into them.

not sure, they would need to have a wealthy backer to sustain full time wages on championship attendances, less tv money etc. maybe they have a mix of full and part time

No they have 3 or 4 players like Andy Ellis who work in the community/schools full time and the rest are part time and all have jobs.

In all fairness to Radford he wont be the first coach at Hull to fail to get to grips with some players' inability to behave like pro sportsmen if indeed that is how it pans out. Interesting that he's gone for questioning the lifestyles of some this early - must have been some fairly obvious evidence in the dressing room that some players were 'under prepared' for this game.

Here we go again

When Radford took the job didn't he say there was no problem and we'd be surprised how many were tee total?

It will be the same players we've resigned over the years, just cancel their deals.

I bet westerman wasn't in that group though !!

as i said before I cant really understand after all the historic half back issues at hull why this season the coach would go with two 'Rookies' with very little NRL experience. I just think that is going to cost you big time this season. Miller has been poor every time I have seen him and Rankin looks no better.....
