I know its been said a thousand times but why is Radford our Captain, we conceded 4 tries in 10 minutes and he never said anything to the players whilst they were under the posts. As for him as a player personally I think hes finished along with King and Graeme Horne I would never pick them again.
Mike Burnett should start and allow Willie Manu off the bench because 80 minutes is no good for him , Whiting needs to play in a more pivotal role probably loose man because we haven't had one for 15 games and Thorman well nobody has a good word for him so again says thanks to him and tell him now he won't be getting another contract .

He should not be Captain of Hull FC full stop, his body language is awful, he shows no desire, doesn't try to fire up his team and I'm sick of seeing him stood away from his team mates with his back to them under the posts just about every time we have a try scored against us instead of being in the middle of the huddle talking to the players.

nuff said..

Got to go for me. Uninspiring and unfit. He can barely play 10 minutes without blowing out of his .

If the rumours are true about Union then I think it would fit his game miles more.

is e?

Have to agree with that, did you see Sinfield under the posts when we scored against them? His head was on fire and they were still winning comfortably!!

he trains with hull rufc quite regular. he'll end up there no shadow of a doubt.

If thats true what a disgrace. The sooner he's out the better.

next season he'll be gone. its pre season at HRUFC so he can train in both codes

As much as he shouldn't be captain, it really isn't as important as people make out. We have leaders on the field who will be the speakers whether they are captain or not. That said, based on the last few weeks, Whiting should be given it for the rest of the season and given a starting spot. One of very few who really put the effort in yesterday and he was always shouting at people and trying to get us into some sort of shape in attack and defence. The tackle to save a try with about 10 minutes to go when the game was already gone just showed what it means to him.

Next year they will be fighting over it with Long and Fitzgibbon two of the best leaders in the game with bags of experience.

Longy for me

Nah Fitzgibbon. Leave Long to concentrate on structuring the attack etc...

Whoever it is needs to be able to command the respect of the players to the point were he can give them a b0ll0cking and they will actually listen.

Its a disgrace that he can't even get his ar$e out of the dugout to clap the fans, the captain should be leading the clapping.

for 2010 i reckon fitzy should be captain. not sure about berro or long i'm not convinced

regarding the 4 trys and not a word from Radders....compare that to what kevin sinfield does at leeds - his leadership and his orders coupled with the respect he has from his team is easy to see. that is what i think a hull fc captain should be doing

Yeah.....But Sinfield is a whiney, whingey with it......nobody but blinkered Rhinos fans like him!

Radford is not a captain. Give it to Fitzgibbon, Long should not be burdened with any responsibilities such as kicker or being captain, just let him play.

Either for me, thats assuming Agar has'nt still got them both sat on the bench after 70 mins waiting to see how it goes.

Give me a whiney whinging lover who can get our team by the scruff of the neck and win us back to back grand finals ANY day of the week

Like, probably not. Respect, I certainly do. He might moan a bit, but IMO he rarely oversteps the mark and looks after his team's best interests exactly how a captain should. Consider at Craven Park this year. Leeds were pinged a lot by the ref early doors and Rovers weren't. He calmly spoke to the ref about it not being the same for both sides. He didn't lose his rag and get into trouble, just made his point. It seemed noticeable after that that the ref did even things up a bit and they won the game, even coming out tops when there was a contentious 'try' sent to the video ref which a lot of refs would have given to the home team on the spot.

I personally think he's about as a good a role model for younger players as we have in this country.

He's not a fraction of the loose forward Radford is though.

lmao

"respect for sinny but not necessarily like him" is bang on

sinny appears to play with a bit of passion too

Spot on fella, Sinfield is a top pro, great captain and a cracking player. He'd stick out like a sore thumb in our squad.

Who is?
