| Quote: knockersbumpMKII "I don't doubt he will be a very good player but at present he's wasting away in the 19s and not developing at the rate he probably needs to at this stage of his career.'"
How often do you watch the 19's to be able to make this assumption? Because myself and many others see him progressing rather well.
Quote: knockersbumpMKII "Add on the fact he's at a club in freefall surrounded by coaches with next to zero SL experience and the head coach not a fecking clue he'd be better off elsewhere career wise.'"
Maybe so, but I'm pretty sure he would like to win the 19's this year, he'll probably do that here.
Quote: knockersbumpMKII "but as a 13, are you saying that Westerman is leaving next year or is going to be play in the 2nd row to accommodate him?'"
Why would either of those things need to happen? Competition for places can only be a good thing, surely?
Quote: knockersbumpMKII "What we need more than anything else is a half that isn't either a crock, overpaid aussie who can't cut the mustard or a 34 year at the end of his career and whilst Pryce has performed better than I expected we should be aiming to get someone for the long term.'"
Not sure I get your point here, Sneyd's 25 and signed a 4 year deal, is that not long term? And you've said yourself Pryce has been performing well and there's no indication we're looking to sign anyone in that position any time soon with the likes of HTW & Reece Dean coming through
Quote: knockersbumpMKII "As it happens the kids you mention are way off, a LONG way off.'"
Again, do you even go to the 19's? They're the same age as Abdull! He is a little in front of them, but they're not a LONG way off and I'd expect one of them to take over from Pryce.
Quote: knockersbumpMKII "But if you're happy that we are developing him into a backrower, fine, that is your OPINION and that indeed of the club, have you thought just for a split second you and your bedfellows might be wrong..no, you couldn't possibly think that, nor can you just accept that people have opinions different to yours without feeling the need to be abusive and derogatory...you show an utter lack of any class whatsoever..Im sure your mother must love you ![]()
Silly and petty comments aside, you still don't seem to be able to grasp the fact that he's not being developed in to a back rower, he IS a 13.

Anyway , so who's in charge if Radford and Last go? Steve Crooks? It'll be like groundhog day , he took over from Walsh part way through 1999 and has a 5 from 30 win record. Who else do we have to use as a caretaker? Ellis , Pryce? It just shows the dearth of coaching experience and talent at the club and underlines why we're as poor and unprofessional as we are.

| Quote: Dave K. "Keep Radford in some capacity if Pearson think he has a role to play, but bring in an experienced coach with attacking ideas.
If Pearson wants English, I'd look at Mark Aston, has done a really good job consistently with Sheffield on a low budget. Could do a similar job to Powell.[/quo
Keep him some capacity,you have to be kidding,he wouldn't even make a decent teaboy,he' never remember how much sugar you take in your tea or coffee,and probably spill it anyway

| Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "I know people still don't like/rate him, but McNamara would be the first name on my shortlist. He's come a long way since the Bradford days and has spent the last two years learning at one of the great rugby league clubs. The national team is also in the best state it has been for probably over a decade. Not to mention he's a Hull lad which personally I don't care about but it allows Pearson to save face with his "Club Hull" rubbish.
He's head and shoulders a better option than Brian Smith and whilst the likes of Aston could turn out to be great they are also be a big gamble.
The other one Id like is Tony Smith, but I don't see him walking out on Warrington to come here. He would need to be sacked first for him to consider us.'"
Think McNamara would be just as bad as Radford.
Games against NZ since he took over played 4 won 1 Against Aus Played 5 lost 5. Not exactly setting the world alight especially when he has some decent players at his disposal. |

Because clearly a massive influence in style and composition of game play is had when a head coach of a national team gets a week here and there and then a couple of weeks before each tournament, look at NZ and Oz both of whom get sooooo much more time with their guys before tournies..
At the end of the day Steve Mac may not be the answer and frankly i am unsure who would be right now but to compare Domestic football with international is just daft ...
i would also say there is an argument to say Steve Mac could also be too close to our senior players and so the door revolves again ..
We are viewed as the graveyard of coaches so no one will take that hot seat unless payed a wedge.... why would they>
and No smith is not the answer, he may be experienced but way past his sell by date now IMO alone mind... |

I am really disappointed in Pearson I thought he would be better than this and have respect for the fans. He dosent seem to be bothered anymore. If he was as passionate as what he says he would be sorting this team and coaching staff out now.

He is a businessman, he hurts when his pockets squeeze.....
He has no love for the club but he knows a sleeping giant when he sees one... i hope he can see the issues and is already sounding people out
He is savvy enough to know he needs advice...

Pathetic post! "Respect for the fans"? He has got more important things to sort out out. Why don't you try and support your team! A bit of confident and encouragement goes a long way! |

| Quote: ComeOnYouUll "
Firstly you don't seem to understand what hypocrisy means? I gather that because you think I've said some things in retaliation that you think I'm a hypocrit right? Hypocrisy is not simply failing to practice those virtues that one preaches...but whatever 
Secondly, you obviously cannot see that in each and every response I've made it is to sling mud back at those that have cussed at me, said I'm talking BS, made inflammatory posts specifically naming me all because I voiced an opinion.
Disagree with me, make a point I don't agree with, expose an obvious failing in my arguement regarding a point I'm making..all fine. What isn't acceptable is the amount of personal jibes (even in threads I haven't conbtributed to!) deliberate berating etc especially when it is the same posters over and over again.
If you or anyone else thinks I'm going to sit back and just accept such behaviour (in the absence of any moderation process) without so much as a wimper you're sadly mistaken, that might seem pathetic but I'm not the one to start slinging the mud in the first instance, I never have AFAIK. I haven't gone out of my way to start naming individual forum members specifically to inflame or have a sly dig at them, making snide comments and the like just because I disgreed with what was said, I've done it as a direct response to their first comments.
So no I'm not being hypocritical in any way shape or form.
HTH

Why is "respect for the fans" pathetic? Any business which disregards its paying customers (in this case fans) or takes them for granted is ultimately doomed. |

No coach could succeed with the current atmosphere. He has a point, for the current side to achieve anything under the current regime, the fans have to back the team and the coaching staff. Unfortunately, things have gone too far for that to happen now, so a change has to happen. We (Hull fans) are notoriously fickle, and we demand more than almost any other set of fans. We won't turn around until the team starts winning, and the team won't start winning without the backing of the fans. Whether the current situation is Radford's fault or not is totally irrelevant - any change is needed right now to be a catalyst. |
