Also, actually it depends on the question. From a Hull perspective, if the question is 'how many overseas players were in the team that broke your Wembley hoodoo to lift the 2016 Challenge Cup?', the answer is in fact seven. And it was six the next year, when they won again. It's all too easy to scapegoat these migrant workers, but if you want success, you should look at what a player can do before you look at where he's from or where he learned to do it.

James Smailes: Have an exclusive online shortly with chairman Adam Pearson which Hull FC fans won’t want to miss. “Complacency has set in and I can tell the players that complacency is about to have a bomb thrown into it. There will be changes.” https://t.co/4TpnlRSyep

So it's all down to the players? Like I said, Radford is going nowhere

Pretty much what he said in 2015 I think. Worked out OK.

Was it? I don't remember that

Difference this time is we dont have Manu, Pritchard, Fonua, Carlos and Taylor arriving over the Winter, we’re stuck with the lazy bunch we’ve got

Though Danny houghtons after match interview spoke volumes to be honest , definitely sounded like dressing room problems and are unlikely to be resolved in the near future . I think most on here have sensibly given radford greif over the last few years , and Have understood he was a work in progress. Just think if he's lost the dressing room , his tenures up sooner rather than later , a couple more performances like that before the end of the season and Pearson will have no choice . I'd be dissaponted if radford didn't stick to his word and resigned before it came to that though

Is it coincidence that the troubles have started since the return of Westerman?

Aaron Bower: Phwoar.. good stuff this. Adam Pearson says Hull will now recruit three or four players and get rid of some, too. And if they're under contract and 'they don’t want to go, we will send them to play dual registration at Doncaster and they can stay there.' Wow! https://t.co/Wc9Sd3LgUx

No nothing to do with Westerman. it started in Australia with the spat between Taylor and Watts
Club obviously supported Taylor but big big mistake getting rid of Watts

So who's he talking about?

Senior players last night

Shaun
Faraimo
Carlos
Griffin
Taylor
Houghton
Paea
Hadley
Washroom
Manu

I presume he's meaning some of those?

Only green, sneyd and mini played other than that recently. Sneyd to wigan was doing the rounds a while ago. Is that who Radford was referring to last night?

Smailes:
Have to say, known Adam a long time and interviewed him many times and cannot remember him being more angry and feeling let down than he was today. He's seething and feels some players are not paying back the trust and investment club has given them. He's come out swinging.

Someone told me today there is a split in the camp with one group being pro Radford and the other not. Dunno if it's true but stuff he's told me before has generally been right.

Let's hope Pearson also invests in adding to the coaching staff

Gaz Ellis already now on the coaching staff and i expect he will take charge of the reserve team
I just hope the said four new senior players coming in over the winter are what we need rather than what Radford thinks we need.
I understand Adam Pearson will be taking more of a role in the new 2018/9 recruitment and is in regular contact with Motu
