I'm confident that Gentle will get the best possible performance out of the players he has available. I'm just not convinced that will be enough.

Are you talking about Green and Galea??

Thats the spirit.

Maybe not, but all Gentle has promised us this season is commitment and improvement, and so far he is delivering. If we had this problem last season we would have been doomed as no way could Agar have dealt with the interchanges as wisely as Gentle does.

Aye...I am all for the youngsters getting a shot, but big games like these can do more damage than good and Gentle knows that, shame some fans do not understand that though!
Radders will do a job, may not be earth shattering but he will put his body on the line and he has big game experience.

If most the players missing were just 1/2 games it wouldn't seem to bad but most the forwards missing are long term which is worrying . Considering the games coming up I'd gladly take 3 wins out of the next 5 , rovers giants cup and Leeds . Also heard today moa may not be coming back due to problems at home which would be a massive blow .

Indeed. Irreplaceable for this season. Hope he's OK.

I've also heard that Moa may not be coming back due to family reasons and also heard that O'Meley won't be here next season due to a fall out with others at the club.

O'Meley rumoured to going to Salford.

Sad about Sam, however some things are more important than rugby, hope he returns this season though.

Really bad news, typical for Hull to get on a good run and then face some crisis or another...

All I hope for on Friday is that our young, battered and bruised side run blood to water for HullFC and give everything they have got.

I also hope that the fans back the side from start to finish, lets get that 'trench' mentality going.

Liking it.

Hudgell will aim to release his players though, and use the nails in the North Stand to keep the costs down

I think this will swing things more towards Moa going back at the end of the season even more now.

Nope, they knocked Man City out of the cup in their own back yard. So signs point to a derby win.

We'll be right. gentle on sports talk tonight was inspiring without being over the top. he said there's no worries about whoever's out, we are a team squad of 30, if one bloke drops out then another goes in and he knows what to do. We'll kick the same, defend the same and attack the same, it doesn't matter - this is why we train together. Top bloke.

Could anyone ever imagine Agar coming out with something like that!



Gentle is a top bloke and proving he could be an even better coach. I bet he oozes confidence into the team and never takes any credit, it's always down the the players!

Ogre seemed ok with gentle and Mcrae at under 20s but do think he will go

Just another rumour, like the one that I heard about him been the joker of the club pulling pranks and PG doesn't want that at the club. He expects total commitment and professionalism.

Said before, I'd be gutted to lose both Moa and Ogre. I'd rather keep Moa because we don't have another prop like him, but I expect to lose both at the end of the season.

One Team, One Dream

Good to see Radders stepping up to the plate.







If we are low on numbers, then its great to see us helping the team out. I've no doubt he'll give us 100% when he's on the pitch and if he's coming off the bench, he can be spelled with his fitness in mind. He's experienced enough to know what he'll be able to give us. His general fitness should be ok and it's not like he hasn't played for four seasons.

Team sorted!



Let's Go!!

FC Live should be interesting tomorrow night with him and pearson!

I'm not concerned about raiders being in. He is still fit and the amount of time he spends on the pitch each game when coaching means he has more time on the field than Joel clintonnandngalea put together this year. Green and galea is a big gamble, but one I suspect is of the chairmanship call and not the coaches,

Don't think Green will play, Galea probably will though.

I think you are right Paul. Galea is a big lift for them defensively, but both Manu and Tickle are opening up defences for fun and he is far from match fit and has a dodgy knee to boot.

We have to contain the big 2 forwards and make sure we make Dobson and Welham tackle all day.

Good luck with that, we've not managed it all season

been fit and match fit are totally different plus green wont play

Should have made a move for Keith Mason, even if he couldn't have played on Monday.

Hopefully if Moa does leave then Gentle will have a replacement from the NRL lined up.

Knew we had too much positivity on here recently
