"Whether KR play Wigan, Bradford or Rochdale, they're always going to score points." Oops.

Rovers are only a few months in with Chester and an almost completely new squad who are still gelling. It's also only the second time in the last 7 games they've lost by more than 8, and they had several missing, so it could just be a setback in recent progress, yet. Radford is well into his second season and we're getting worse, not better.

As for the dog analogy, if a dog bites the hand that feeds it more than once, it's usually best to put it down. He doesn't need to keep having digs at the fans, and that is not healthy for or helping the club either.

Strike power & fire on our edges ? . WTF

Only other one I could think of was Darrell Griffin. He got a call up whilst at Hudds.

To add further context, we had 5 who have played international rugby ourselves.

It is doom & gloom because of the rugby his team are serving up, but I think he means it shouldn't be as we are in & around the teams we should be with, we are 2points from 5th place, if we was in wakeys position I could understand he would be under fire, but we are surviving in what is the closest it's been for a very long time.

He was asked directly by Lloyd "does it hurt you?", "what would you say to them?" And so on. If he said he wasn't bothered people would say he's a deaf/blind idiot. He says it does and feels it's partly unjustified and he's still wrong.

So they did have more internationals than us. He was asked I think about their request to postpone the game due to 16 injuries. Pointing out the strength they still had plus our own absences is fair response.

Gildart played for England u17s

Salford should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute for their actions this week. It's supposed to be a top professional sport yet they embarrass themselves and the game by trying to postpone a game and then fielding a pretty competitive team. Radford was entirely correct to point this out.

Kr was more under strengthened then any side this week, they didn't just roll over & give up.......

as said before we had a pack missing paea cunningham bowden, hadley,ellis westerman, sub green, thats a lot of forward power sat in the stands

And it showed particularly with 20 to go I thought we were losing the battle in the middle but fair play we hung in there.

Exactly. We are awful to watch. Being awful to watch only really cuts it as acceptable when you're winning nearly every week. If all we're going to do is survive, entertain us whilst doing so. That might well be the difference between Hull & Rovers fans that he doesn't understand, they get entertained, we get bored.

All I'm saying is he is contributing to how he is being perceived by fans with the way that he is handling himself, and I don't understand how he can think it will help. Gates are falling because people don't want to watch the rugby he has us playing, I don't see how criticising them and dropping hints that they are crap fans compared to other teams will reverse that trend.

In fairness our fans have been getting progressively crapper for a long time - in tandem with our demise over several years. It's also far easier to have a view aired these days. On balance he shouldn't have a go at the fans - or at least he should address his thoughts to those with banners but thank the majority of supporters who don't have banners, who turn up week in and week out when it really isn't easy, and who did actually get behind the team in the second half today. I think he has a right to take on his detractors but he should be praising the type of support that the team got tonight albeit late on.
