We have too many grafters in our team IMO. Need some more line-breakers.

Crocker and Lauaki maybe ?

Crocker isn't a line breaker.

If Crocker does come i can see him getting the Kearney treatment off some fans expecting him to be a tackle busting 2nd row. Crocker is an out and out grafter, best in the world but still a grafter. I can see him getting the negative treatment.

We need to forget Burnett he's signing for Rovers ........






According to Zod, so expect a 2 year extension at FC really soon.

saw that aswell, such a fool, he doesnt realise how stupid he really is

I'd keep him and release Radford.

But Burnetts not a 13

That's why I will never be a head coach

Neither should Agar be, seeing as he constantly decides to play Radders at 13.

I'd keep Radford, Tickle and Burnett, with Radford playing prop and release King/Thacks.

Radford is a better prop than the pair of them put together.

One thing worth noting is that i do believe Mike has got himself an agent. So Hull will not be able to get cheap on him this time round.

His performances this season wouldnt allow us to be cheap on him this time around!

Lets hope so he's a smashing kid with a big future, my fear is that Hulls current coaching set up won't be able to get the best out of him.

For his sake i would recommend a move

At last, someone who can see what it's all about, there are few that can.

Its an option I guess and one I would be happier with but as a backrower I would not keep/play Radford as he offers us no mobility at all.

The fact he has now pushed into the first team would suggest he would be able to command more money anwyay surely.

You'd think so.

But now put KH and JT into the equation.

Thats my point

He doesnt play as a backrow now anyway, he plays as a 3rd prop to fit out 5 drives and a kick boring tactics. Thats why he gets the stick on here, for not running wide and busting tackles but he isnt playing as a 13 even though he is named there.

FWIW we need to start playing Washy at 13 with Radders named at prop rather than playing as a 3rd prop to actually have more than 1 ball player, we are too easy to pick.

I have no problem with that, howevere if we are going to name Radford at prop then one prop needs to be dropped. Our back row should be Tickle, Manu, Washy with Burnett off the bench, unless/untill Crocks/Hame arrive.

Swap Burnett and Manu for me, and if Berro plays 80 i would name Manu and G Horne on the bench to rotate Burnett and Tickle. All props and 2nd rows should play 2x20 mins for me.

My 4 props would be Cusack, Dowes, Radford and Maloney on current form. No room for Thacks, King or Moa.

If Crocker and Lauki arrive they would replace Burnett and Maloney in the squad respectively for me, with Crocker going into the back row.
