But you didn't. You didn't score a single point.

You have answered your own question. Hull are not a top team.

| Taking a positive from game, defence must have been good, the least amount of points you have conceded all season.

The patched up pack weren't too bad although Widnes didn't offer much. It could easily have finished 0-0.

| Quote Staffs FC="Staffs FC"You think Radford is like Agar?'"
Probably not in terms of personality. But there are definite parallels - inexperienced assistant promoted to head coach, questionable selections (Heremaia at HB, ffs), weird use of the subs bench, says he'll walk if he's not up to it. He's not Agar (obviously), but the early part of his tenure does nothing to convince me he's going to be a great deal better.

Agree, said the same as we left.

Fair comment. The first 5 games were an improvement on last season in my opinion. Obviously yesterday was a disgrace but as I've said elsewhere I don't think a large portion of blame can be apportioned directly at Radford. I haven't agreed with some of his selections and it is strange to say the least not to use all bench options in a game unless you lack confidence in individuals. Regardless of yesterday's selections the team on the field created more than enough to win the game easily and the majority of blame lies with the individuals who couldn't execute to the basic level required of pro SL players. The biggest thing that should be changed going forward is to stop the practice of what seems almost like auto-renewal of contracts of players who do this time and again IMO.

| Never since the reign of Sharp have we seen attack like we have in the first four matches this season. Agar was incapable of building on Peter Sharp's - handsome - legacy and we endured moribund monotony for years. Radford has shown he is capable of making a difference, he has given us the structure and the systems that score tries. I've been to every match this year and, until last week, have not been as encouraged by a run of games since 2006.
What Radford has to do now is find a way to return to that structure and not fall into the trap that Agar did by swapping the whole team around to fill a problem area. Shaul back to fullback, pick the halves from the 3 halves we have, Houghton and Heremaia spelling at hooker. He's got a temporary prop crisis but the pack yesterday stood up much better than expected, for me. Major issue there is to ensure Westerman retains the freedom to be that pivotal LF.
Next week shouldn't be about dropping individuals for errors or perceived lack of effort. Radford merely needs to return to his basic principles and, as far as he can with the forwards he has, put people back where they should be.

That's about the size of it. Stop tinkering, play people in their natural positions. And hope it isn't raining.
