Ellis concussed.

Hard to say if we we're much better with heremaia in the halves or the fact that it was a tired defence it sounded like the miller/Rankin partnership was poor again

Oh , we won!

Was thinking the same. There's always Horne..

Tbf if Blunderside were saying it I'd get an enormous pinch of salt to take with it. Pinko and Doc seemed to say it though, so who knows.

Gollum just said Joe Lineham and was making mistakes all the way through. Don't believe a word he says.

Rankin was dog turd, Miller not much better.

Rankin gets kept on because he can score a try, but a Horne/Rankin partnership would be worse. We're fecked.

was he a top 3 performer again???

all hail Radford

#believe

The thing is when your playing someone like London who haven't won a game you don't stick to the game plan and try and score off every play we did last week and it sounded like you did today

Personally I'd like to see Horne back in the team but whatever partnership we have out miller/Rankin or Rankin/ Horne or miller/ horne it's simply not good enough and wouldn't be too upset if all 3 were released at the end of the season.

What happened to Sa?
I thought he was going to get some game time today.
Rubbish halves today kicking game again poor, and London made easy metres down the middle.

Smailes said he had a knock. Could have played, but as we have a week off Radders wants to give him time to get 100% rather than make things worse.

Come on Tony your better than that , don't be like our mate Des

Just glad to see the boys get a win today, to put further daylight between us and the bottom two. Especially as a Bulls fan has told me that they are relatively confident that they will get all 6 points back as their appeal is purely based on legal grounds and nothing to do with the RL rules on going into administration.

If that happens & Bulls beat Wakey tomorrow then we are just 4 points above the drop zone

I was at the game and as I said earlier we improved dramatically when Azza came on. No pinch of salt required that's just what happened. Rankin had a good last half hour and his goal kicking looks very good as is Miller's. Houghton also woke up and caused some problems second half.

pah, for the greater good I'd rather we had lost and guaranteed that Radford got his booty shown the door, all it does is stave off the inevitable & give [isome[/i deluded fans hope that we will kick on. I can't see past another 4 wins tops, (Wakey, Salford, Bradford and maybe Widnes next week or the dobbins) basically we are not going to make the 8. Radford AND Pearson out!

So WHO would you like to take over the coaching and ownership of the club cos I can't see a queue of people wanting too!!!

no matter how bad radford is at coaching, i would never want my team to lose! Pearson saw what we all saw today, a stop start fc peformance against the poorest team in the comp for a many of seasons and will hopefully act on it, probably at the end of the season

i certainly aren't getting carried away with the win, too many mistakes and we were awful for 15-20 minutes after moore got sent off


good peformances by yeamo, (looking after his winger), lancaster, shaul and even crooks had a good game, feka and paea did well, rankin and miller still not clicking and that was against cannon fodder!

But he wouldn't be shown the door get real its all about finishing in the top 12 this year now! We won god garn it, I would have taken 50 points myself before we started wouldn't you? I guess obviously not, maybe you expected more this season and I have to say, I might have agreed with you and probably would at the end of the season but can I just ask who is available and who do you suggest we bring in?? For the greater good? Well we would be in total disarray were we to have brought in another Coach at this point in the season. This year we need to be in the top 12 that's all we have to achieve at first and I honestly can't see another coach coming in and doing much better at this juncture can you, so please tell me who you would appoint! he isn't ideal I agree but for me Radford has to stay we battle on and we look again at getting someone else in at the end of the season!

Disgraceful to consider wanting your team to lose.

Well said Wilf. However much I'm against the coach (whoever that may be) I never, ever want to see my team lose and nor should any supporter.

He needs to bin miller and rankin before next season

Your a disgrace, don't call yourself a fan, clear off because no fan in any sport wants there team to lose.

I agree jake I honestly think if we had 2 decent halfbacks we would have 6-8 more points on the league table

Ownership yes I see your point because Hull FC are patently not worth what Pearson has already invested. He simply can't get his money back and I think he is slowly realising he is in negative equity where Hull FC are concerned.

What to do? Keep financing year on year debts or sell at a loss? Nobody wants to buy anyway so it's a rock and a hard place.

As for the coaching position that is a totally different matter.

In 2015 with only 28 head coach jobs in the whole world there has to be many more than 28 people in the whole world who could do a good job.

There's simply no need to give a local lad with attitude the job like there's no one in the whole world capable.

I GUARANTEE that if the Hull FC coaching job was advertised and interviewed properly there would be a whole host of quality applicants.

Why wouldn't there be? There's only 20 odd people in the whole world currently contracted and employed for next year as head coaches and you've a reputation as underachievers who pay top dollar. What an opportunity... there's a pack of quality people unemployed desperate for a chance.

Or you could stick with a guy who isn't the brightest, has no CV but who will wear his heart on his sleeve.

Wanna be a top club? You already are. One of the top 28 in the world in fact. Radford one of the top 28 coaches in the world? You know the answer to that one.
