I wonder if Pearson will think the same when he's on his way to Leigh in August.

No disrespect to Leigh, which I am sure is lovely at that time of year, but I imagine AP can afford something a little bit classier for his summer hols

I realise that Pearson's relationship with Hudge is better than it used to be, but travelling to Rovers away games could be one step too far.

Our season starts on sunday (the same season that weve all been missing these last few months) so I think its time we all dropped any negativity towards the club and get behind it 100% (even I am) This is going to be a tough season with no easy games at all and we need to be at the top of our game in ALL areas including support if we want to have a good one so lets just try and be supportive of the boys AND coach and hopefully we can have a memourable season............for the right reasons this time round

Come On You Ullaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Has someone hacked your account Seb?

Very much part of the anti Radford brigade last season and yet still not convinced he's good enough I will approach this season with renewed optimism .
Clean slate for all I believe until proven otherwise just looking forward to rugby being back and supporting my beloved Hull Fc.
Hope I get to remain this positive for longer then I did last year.

I never wanted Radford to be appointed and there was a point last season when I wanted him sacked. However after that he won me round enough to convince me he deserved more time.

He now has the players he wants (including importantly the half backs) and he has the owner's full backing.

As Seb says its now up to the fans to get behind the team and the coach and give them the support they need. We are supposed to be supporters so let support our club, starting on Sunday!

I agree that we should not be too quick to get on the teams back this year. Interesting comments on the Giants website about this game, they are certainly very confident of the win! Hopefully we can use that arrogance as a motivation, if any more were needed!

Paul Anderson
“We have to make sure we start Round One by collecting the two league points, particularly as they’re going to be harder to come by.”

Jack Hughes
"I’m confident we’ll come away with the win.”

Brett Ferres
"We have the players to more than match them"

That isn't arrogance, what would you expect them to say, don't have a good feeling about this, think Hull will trounce us.
the players shouldn't need 'motivating' any more than they should be for every single game no matter what the opposition, no matter what the situation.
This is an aspect that Radford has to change drastically after last season's poor efforts. IF he can address the heads going down & running around like a headless chicken panic mode we might win some of the narrow games rather than losing them..

Spot on, every team should go into every game expecting/thinking they're going to win. If they don't they should pack it up & give up playing.

Arrogance! Really?

Now we're firmly rated as shiiite it'll hopefully give the players a kick up the arrse. Gone are the days of turning up to a game to open a 20-something lead against an apparently lesser team then lose it in the second half.

Radders only third favourite now to be the next coach to leave their post:

Chris Chester 9/4
Iestyn Harris 3/1
Lee Radford 11/2
Paul Anderson 13/2

Wonder whether the HDM will be running an article this time?

Might have a little flutter on Chester.
Pressure starts to mounts if they go 0 from 3 this weekend.

The Daily Fail will just link Bruce with the job. Thats all their lazy hacks do.

Radford's bought himself time with the good start to the season and improvements to the quality of performances, but lets not get carried away yet, a game away at Salford who are struggling for form is usually the kind of Banana skin the team slips on!

Paul anderson could be a good shout, cant see them beating leeds either at weekend

Who's getting carried away? Having a coach 3rd favourite for the chop isn't exactly a champagne moment.

I'm not feeling that confident about Saturday, have to admit. Sheens might have worked his magic and getting rid of a trouble causer in the camp often boosts morale.

Salford seem to have more issues than hock to me, they have a losing mentality riddled in the club, plus some of the tosh theve got look like they cant be d....and the rest are well past there best IMO

Some decent talent in there though. Sau, Chase, BJB, Moz, even without Locke, Dobson, Hock and co. Chase has done for us many times.

Agree, but, chase has been poor eversince he left cas, sau, well he's showed glimpses, but when you add up the fact theve wasted big bucks on hock, puletua, dobson, paterson and co.. its no wonder there struggling, its as though koucash was playing top trumps when he bought all his players, I believe not one single player was signed to build a team, it was a team built to boost his ego IMO,....

You lot will have no problem with Salford, particularly if MCB plays. He could make our team with his tackling technique.

Another signing with no substance behind it for me, for a team with unlimited funds caton brown isnt your starting centre im afraid
