Why is that?

Absolutely. The players certainly aren't helping the selection situation with their performances. They're giving Radford a reason to chop and change. But I do think that if Radford can get a regular 17 out there week after week that we might see a bit more consistency.

This would be my preference too.

I cannot disagree with anything that has been posted, for me we have to give players a chance and that is more than one game inn and one game out.

Last game KR halfback dominated ours so if we do go with Miller/Ranking we need them to step up.

A change of game plan is a must as well just something to counter there rush defence on teh outsides, I would go for a couple of little chips beginning of the game to make them thinks before they rush.

If Caro plays we need to put more pressure on him than last time.Catalans constantly targeted him with kicks as he has a tendency to wait for the ball to drop and doesnt seem to attack the ball in the air.

How if we the fans can see it, why can't the players/coach? The one time we kicked to Caro in the last derby he dropped it, the rest of the kicks went elsewhere.

am not one to claim to be in the know all the time but was told miller not playing, and wont be unless injuries dictate in the future

Agree with Staffs re our line defence, that game particularly it was exposed.

I'm sure we'll be back to Rankin/Miller but apart from Rankins show n go for his early try they were totally outplayed in the last derby. Burns has shown his class this year for them, pains me to say it, but he'd transform us. His kicking game is superb too.

Why can they find a halfback and we haven't for the past 7 years?

Same place as Salford & St Helens found out.

We kicked to him a second time and he let that kick bounce two feet in front a him. A bit of luck there could have seen the ball pop back up for us.
He has terrible catching technique. Try to collect it with his palms facing outward and if the timing isn't right (as in the derby) it just bounces away. Definitely need to pepper him if he plays.

If he plays Horne we have had it !

well its horne or herminia to partner rankin

they need to step up, but our forwards need to get on top to give them a bit of a platform. not too many halbacks in world rugby can play without the necessary go forward/field position. didn't think we dominated hull krs forwards at all in the last game

Rankin and miller for me.

You don't need to be, we have enough people "in the know" already.

to true hessle roader, what i was told might be b.ollocks but time will tell

The weekly naughty step routine that Radford prides himself on is tiresome and archaic.
Clueless amateur coach who's being given a job at a club with "top 4" aspirations, it is ing laughable.

If we had gone for Burns, they'd have been the same concerns around his attitude and on field etiquette as with Chase. We either go for 1. someone that's good but comes with baggage (Burns), 2. pay for the talent (Luke Walsh) or 3. a young gun that's cheap and unproven...... The cheap option is ours at FC.

Not sure what the answer is TBH

Sean Long wasn't a cheap option, clubs go for whoever are available then its upto the individual what club they sign for.

who do you think will be the halves,if miller isn`t picked? reading your post,it looks as though he could be on his way out,any credence to this?

So we were in for Luke Walsh, but he chose Saints?

We should start these two and stick with them. This season is over. Let them develope if we are keeping them. Burrow and McGuire took a good season to settle down and click. I think most pairings do.you can't just go out and buy class anymore. You have to coach them to do the job you want.
Be brave Mr Radford or jog on.

We've talked to a lot of HBs but for some reason or another they haven't chose us.

We were outbid by Saints.
