How’s the saying go? - “Better to release a player a year too early rather than a year too late”

Don’t think major changes are required as we’ve rarely had our first 17 on the pitch at the same time.

What we have lacked for a couple of seasons now though is impact off the bench.

That and tweaks to the attacking structures.

also thought paea had a good game, was our best prop for me, masi will get better next hopefully, bienik is our wild card, could be anything, if his hamstring isn't to bad might even see him this year?

I’m not rushing to judge the younger players, as they’ve all been thrown in at the same time. We haven’t been able to bring them in in a controlled way.

… Kelly and Connor didn't play last night, our 2 most creative players.

Our attack is bound to suffer when they're missing, by how much is obviously open to debate.

also thought lane had his best game, kid ran hard and did dent the line,

Let's not expect too much of Bienek too soon. He's two years younger than Matongo and Fash. He might get the odd game next year (hopefully not because of an injury crisis) but he's probably a couple of years off being a first teamer. His you tube video is impressive but that's against lower league opposition rather than the likes of Amor, Flower, Murdoch-Masila etc.

Need 2 new back rowers who don’t have cows tits for hands. Can’t believe we’ve signed up Mini and Washy. Was all for keeping Manu earlier in season but he’s hardly played and when he has he’s been average at best.

Keeping them on sentiment by looks of it. Young kids not stepping up, be surprised if one of the current lot become a starting 13 player.

Who's available though? The market for decent forwards has dried right up.

I reckon Jordan Lane will make it as an SL player, and Cameron Scott could make a move to second row and do well. He's not got the pace for centre.

Australia, quota spots available if we didn’t keep Manu or Mini. Earlier in season Greenwood, Whitley, Sene Lefao all ooc, Jones probably available for a small fee.

We need more than just making it, we need them to become starters. Do agree on Scott though, he’ll be a back rower.

don't shoot the messenger but heard a rumour/story today saying radders is off to wigan and its caused unrest in the dressing room

good one as far as rumours go

Dont believe a word of it.
Radford wouldnt know what to do with a squad thats full of pace

Look im not in the Radford out brigade but questions to a degree can and should be asked. Why is brutality given out to youngsters but senior players can get away with bad performances ? Why haven't we replaced Ellis and Watts ?

Mini,Manu and Washbrook given extensions without performing to a high level this season. Defence as a whole not being good enough conceding 20 points at home to a side outside the 8 is considered a good effort.

I believe or want to believe Radford can change this around but questions should be asked.

Injuries aside I think alot of complacency and arrogance has bit the whole squad as a whole this season.

We couldn't get over the line the last 2 seasons to a grand final, so why we think we dont need any new faces is beyond me.

Twenty four hours and six pages later and only Tarquin agrees with you

Almost every Hull fan knows that only an idiot would want Radford replacing at the end of this season.
