I just don't understand how a professional sports team cannot understand the need to chase kicks quickly, find the ground in the tackle quickly and get up for a quick PTB, wrap the ball in the tackle, etc. I just don't understand how we keep saying this. Do they just not want to play?

ANOTHER game lost by less than two scores.
The one thing I'll give Radford is that we haven't been battered yet at least. But we have been embarrassed. This is another Widnes.

Good post wellsy..its hard to believe we have the 3rd best defence. So we are doing a few things right.

We lack a talented tactician on the field pure and simple. Ellis is a classic lead by example player and a great one at that but why can't this club just nail a scrum half that has the proven talent and ability to play what's in front of them and adapt the game to the situation? Structure is great but sometimes you need more than what you do on the training field on game day. Our pack is reasonable and wasn't under any pressure today but the lack of a real talent to direct and drive us around the field has crippled us for years. Westerman has valiantly stepped up this year but we would be transformed with a proper scrum half who can actually make decisions and dictate play. I'm starting to think I'll never see another one in Hull's colours.

We've had a poor attitude more than we've had a good one so far this season. It's OK radford blaming the players week in, week out but what's he doing about it? Telling them to go away and think things through is hardly likely to work

We capitulated after the scrapping started. More interested in smashing them rather than tackling them.

Spot on.

Maybe they are playing to get rid of the coach..... again!

Edited.

If they are doing that then the players need to hang their heads in shame. They're supposed to be professionals.

I wonder if radders is contemplating sending himself to donny. Lol

I honestley think, if we did a coach swap with Donny, we would be in a better position.

If Radford is to stay, he needs some support, could do a lot worst than getting Cooke on board.

Agree 100%

It is meant to be on the cards for next season, with lasty as head of youth & horney to donny on player coach roll.

Paea wound me up after that scrap.
I think they scored on the second tackle, and Paea went for a big hit on both of them. Both times he got bounced off, the second time giving space for the Wakey player to run through and score. As you say he was more bothered about putting in a big hit (which looked like shoulder charges) then working as a team to make the tackle.
He then made things worse by getting himself put on report. Not sure what he actually did as I was too busy with my head in my hands after the try.
No doubt a ban coming up for both Paea and Crookes this week.

Still not sure why Paea was put on report.He didn't seem to do anything apart from been caught up in a crowd scene as Wakey celebrated their try.
