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.....

Hull played yesterday with no props or a hooker. Not a day to be worrying about half backs.

In fairness he has more or less named certain players in the press today - maybe it will take a bit of time to weed them out.

How many times have you seen Rankin? Ive seen him against Bradford and Rovers and he looked good, Miller showed a lot of potential last year and looked really good in spells, I dont think we will go with these two together and expect Horne and Rankin to start.

Problem is, who else was available?

I don't think we the fans have learned very much from this pre-season.

I haven't seen much evidence of new structures or the entertaing, attacking rugby that Radford promised us.

Our defence seems worse than last season.

I think yesterday's match taught us:

1. Our pack is too lightweight
2. Our U19's aren't as good as we (or they) thought.

Watts, Green, Bowden and Tyson-Wilson.

If we start with Horne and Rankin how many games will it be before Horne gets his inevitable injury and we have to bring in Miller and start the process of trying to gel halfbacks again

That was exactly my point.

Pre season hasn't been what I imagined it would of been
would have expected the team he put out vs Doncaster, I'd have had a similar team to what he put out against Bradford, maybe a little 1st team based, less kids, would of gone about 20 against rovers full speed full team. Then wound back yesterday with games for those that needed extra minutes
To have a team with loads of kids that's just got back from a tough army camp without hardly any sleep against probably the best team in the championship was silly! Can't of done them any favours, told us nothing regards 1St team that'll play against catalan, and the one I'm more baffled by is Miller. He's been absolutely set up to fail every game! Only time he's been on the field during all the games is when we've had kids on or getting well beat! Don't get that at all!
But it's still just pre season games! Still doesn't mean to much one way or another!
