I think the problem lies in our reluctance to throw the ball around. On friday did we ever try to get the ball out wide just inside our half?
We got drawn into the style of play we used against Wakey. It was all down the middle stuff.
Yet against Saints we were more expansive and it paid off. Just look at Domic`s try. Manu , Sing and Sid out wide in our own half and moving at pace.

If Trent Barret was on offer, after Friday, i'd bust the bank for the kid

I love it when folk come out with this stuff.

Yeah that makes sense, replace someone "steady" with someone "steady"

But who is not quite as good at being 'steady'.

Nail, Head, Hammer.

IF we drop Radders from the first 13 it needs to be in favour of Manu. We don't have the quality in the squad to drop him from the squad totally.

and we'll need a new captain.

Correct. Morgan has been offered the player you are referring to providing their is a clause in his contract he can't play in the first derby...

However, Morgan isn't keen and doesn't rate the player...

Your opinion probably isn't up to much then, as Sharp allways plays Radford and picked him as captain.

Plus, when Justin Morgan was asked which three players from Hull FC's squad he'd most like to have at rovers, Radford was one of the first names he mentioned.

I reckon JM and PS know a tad more about rugby league than yourself.

There are no words to express my lack of interest in your views.

Macca shows more in attack than Radford and has more strings to his bow. IMO of course. And I said I'd [irather[/i play Macca - not [ilet's play[/i Macca. We have other options, like giving Manu more game time for one.

We have a captain?

Honestly, if all you can do is echo the opinions of others, why bother?

Excellent post. Our offloads were nil compared with the week before and as for the lack of movement, Wigan were asked no questions from us in attack. Its easy to blame Horne/Lee so everybody does.

You don't rate Radders, you'd rather have Macca in the side.

Justin Morgan and Peter Sharp would both rather have Radders as in their respective sides, as in their opinion he's a better player.

Doesn't that give some indiciation as to how far off the mark your view actually is?

Radders is a boring player in RL terms. He just plods the ball in and defends all game and you never really notice him. IF he were not there however we would notice the massive hole he would leave. He should not be captain imo but I would definately have him in my team every week.

Workhorse!

No, no, no Paul!

Macca produced a couple of kicks a season or two ago, he's obviously the far better player. Release Radders and give Macca a two year extension, I say!

Mcmenemy is a similar player to Radders except he has extra skill to offer. He has been excellent for Hull in his time here.

you'll soon be praising him

Maybe a year or two ago.

Nope, he has not gone off form IMO. He has just got some new competition to deal with.

Until he joins you.

Unless we pick up more injuries, it won't happen.

Why? Is one not allowed an opinion on this board?

Can someone not rate a player that doesn't wear Black n White?

Trent is class, just like many other Aussies we don't sign
