Maybe Kirk can run across in front of Gaz in the first few minutes this week to get us on the back foot.

So depressed when I see Yeaman and Howarth named in the 19
No Cunningham but Shaul named.Wahts that all about then Mr Radford?

The only reason to include howarth was to play him in the back row but with green and ellis supposedly back I see no reason he should be in there. Much worse option than cunningham at hooker.

Is cunningham injured or just an easy target to be dropped like naughton and shaul?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Howarth get the nod over Abdull.

Abbo's playing.

Kirk yeaman needs to be using david plummmers magic ink pen if hes considering an fc extension.... id be totally devastated if he gets a new deal, a dinosaur, way past his best, get rid.... naughton or logan in, end of...

If Yeaman was an Aussie, you can guarantee he'd have been hounded out years ago.

Plus Whiting will be on the bench to cover back row,But why include Shaul in the 19 if he is dropped/injured.Radford is a goon
Cunningham played for Doncaster last week don't think he is injured. He just likes Pals Danny and Speedy Gonzalez Yeaman as first on the team list.
This game was an opportunity to get Sa back into centre and drop Yeaman but he wont.
We have 3 difficult games coming up and its a possibility we could lose all 3.If that happens this fool surely has to go.

Thing about yeaman is, hes still a decent player, BUT he was better, other clubs would take him to as they see him as a solid defender and overall a decent centre but as i said, we saw the real kirk yeaman, the international standard centre, for me, them days are well past him, hes a shadow of his former self IMO...... problem were the club are concerned is that im sure hes a dependable employee...a nice guy, and a member of the team as they say... chopping him would be like getting rid of one of your hardest working, longest serving employees, and that would be hard..BUT, sport isnt like normal employment.... theres no place for sentiment or not being value for money... Unfortunately kirk is becoming not value for money, hes way off the pace in terms of other centres in superleague nevermind the nrl and this is holding our business back, the business of entertainment, and he isnt entertaining, and hasnt for sometime... weve had this before with horne, IMO, way way past the richard horne we bew could kill teams, he bacame a sgadow of his former glories in the last few years, mainly due to injuries etc... sad, but unfortunately wasnt cutting the mustard and as a club we should have got rid 2 years before his retirement. .. i feel, yeaman will get another deal as long as radders is in charge.... and that worries me...even a year extension would be too much in my opinion, we should release kirk, shake him by the hand and say thanks for everything, and we shoukd both go our separate ways, and wish him all the best in his next move... same as whiting, injury prone, never had z set position, get rjd and promote from within, or take a punt on a championship player

I am on record as saying Houghton is one of the reasons our attack is blunt at the moment but surely you are not suggesting Cunningham is a better player.

And how is Crooks doing in Oz...poor why is he poor because our so called fans took all his confidence away

Did they? Wasn't it the coach who dropped him, criticised him in public, left him out in the cold then transported him to australia like an 18th century convict?

He was offered to stay & fight for his place, but he's world class, his & his fathers words....really ripping it up for the magpies isn't he?

crooks will eventually come back a better player and no doubt sign for a better club with better man management


going from the dream team to doncaster in 12 months is a sad decline, not fair to blame all on crooks even if he did have a high opinion of himself

Fair enough then if that's the case but maybe he thought it would be a waste of time as he clearly wasn't liked by radford

The club hold his SL playing license, he spat his dummy out on several occasions, with his father in his ear who can blame him though, thinking he's the finished article, ask any links to the club? He was a decent finisher but a bad defender, who wouldn't knuckle down, so he chose to go to parramatta but he will never play a game for them, he's not good enough for 1st grade.

Ive met Ben mid dream team season and he was the most down to earth young rl player you could meet, really friendly, not up his own harris (unlike Lineham) - Lee Crooks has been mentioned on here as wanting him to stay on at Hull and knuckle down as he wanted his lad at his favourite club yet easthull fc fan is claiming it was Lee who swayed him and caused him to leave. I dont believe a word of what you post

If the stuff you post is true then the source of it needs sacking for breaching employee confidentiality but given who it likely is then what else can we expect?

He'll be inviting you to county road after that

Crooks without Lineham was poor. Or did Linehams injury just simply coincide with Crooks' downturn in form?

Sory, but he was just a finisher off Linehams feeds. Defence was suspect, positioning was terrible. He'll be home this year, I bet.
We have far better coming through.

From what Ive seen of Wentworthville , Crookes still has defensive liabilities , Moved out to the wing for this weeks game .

Anyway, big game this. Win and we could be in the 8 and will at least be level on points with 8th

Re: Our Attack.....

Radford ""We need to take the shackles off a little bit and stop being as nervous as we are with the football.

"I think that comes with a bit of apprehension in the surroundings – when you lay a play up and all you hear is moaning and groaning. Whether you like it or not, that causes apprehension, so we just need to keep promoting and pushing playing football".

Blaming the 'surroundings' on our attack????

Deary me....

I liked the bit about our attack being good for 3 minutes in the salford game

He really hates the fans doesn't here, always having a dig and blaming us for the teams problems. The problem is that we play the same play over and over again and it never works. Both Hudds and Rovers played the inside ball this weekend with big success while we rarely do it.

It won't be long before Radford has some kind of confrontation with a fan, might be a way to get him sacked if he knocks out a fan after a home game, any volunteers?
