Said the same on the match thread. He was running the ball well but let himself down with a couple of errors. However, all that can be forgotten once he got sent off. Lost any credit he'd earned.

but as i said on the other thread, we all know things have been let go, usually when involves one of the so called big teams but it was a clear sending off unfortunately

i saw worst tackles in the first half from both teams

im a rare poster for my time on here, but enough is enough.

we deserve better, it's that simple. how we get that... like radford i dunno

Crookes dropped an easy kick and got sent off and that was his only real contribution. Very poor game.

On the flip side I quite liked Talanoa at centre. Anyone who watches the 19s a lot, are either of the young wingers ready yet? I wouldn't mind seeing Tala given a run at centre with one of the young kids on the wing when Lineham comes back.

As for getting rid of Radford. Well I have been calling for it, but a few problems did seem to be addressed today. He's got to get some results soon though and prove that he can get us playing, otherwise we will have to bite the bullet.

Let's not do this

Was at fault for the first try and what about when he knocked on.

Awful awful player with absolutely no brains


Radford needs support. No other team in SL have such an inexperienced backroom staff.

Crookes was awful in defence constantly caught out on the over lap. Ran the ball in strongly but that's it. Watch him for Keatings try.

not for me - we all know what will happen if the kid drops a high ball or misses a one on one. as for radford he should be given a chance to turn it round but a string of defeats in the away games and he'll probably be gone by the warrington game

Keating didnt score

I would hope they get some encouragement from both the players and the fans.
The problem at the minute been Crookes and Colbon aren't young kids. They've played the game at top level for years and Crookes should be able to catch a ball under no pressure. Neither look good enough.

Lineham was terrible in defence this year before he got injured but he seems to be another player some of our fans refuse to criticise when poor.

Why?

Salters second then I just remember Keating breaking down the middle.

Because Radford's his mate.

Im afraid hull played for 10 mins in the 1st half and 15 in the 2nd.We were not great but a lot better than you.

Anybody think we should make a move for Mason Caton-Brown?
Much better back up then either Colbon or Crookes, and he would even be making a big push to displace Tuli and Lineham.
He's a real handful, scores a lot of trys in a very poor team and he's young British which is what we should be targeting.
Surely he's too good for championship and I think there'll be a couple of teams offering him a contract if he keeps up his performances throughout the year.

Exactly right but Radford and others will look to the excuse of Crookes. More

Looked impressive today.Cant see Londons first win been too far away either.Probably when we visit there

This is not just about Crookes though who up until being sent off wasn't our worst player That would go to Yeaman.

Even with 13 on we would not have won that game. With have no attacking structure, our tries come from individual effort not teamwork or plays so to speak.

Radford has to go for me not good enough and tonight only underlined that again once more.

I thought Yeaman was good today.

Are you on drugs, yeamam had a good game one of the few players who caused Rovers problems.

Yeaman was good in patches, was far from out worst player.

It was only a red because Salter stayed down. You will see far worse in each round and they never get carded.

A red card should have been Cock'ed's blatant trip.

Yeaman went ok today, certainly not our worst.

I wasn't sure Cockayne's actually was a trip. I thought he might have got a hand on Hadley first. If it was a trip though that begs the question, has the 8 point try rule been scrapped?

What because he threw 2 forward passes when we had scoring opportunities or shot out the line for gardeners second try. But if you prefer to watch with blinkers on so be it but thanks to referring to me as being on drugs that shows the limit of your intelligence or limitations on a debate.

On a couple of occasions Yeaman shot out of the line & missed his man leaving Crookes with the overlap. Somehow this is Crookes' fault.
