Hadley can count himself very unlucky if he misses out on the 17 next week. Been excellent again.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, in all fairness though Catalans have been poop and we've done a number on them.

Trust in the squad members is the only way we can ensure we have fit/non knackered players for a whole season, tired but quality players have shown to still be less effective than fresh but not quite as top quality squad players.

That our squad players are in fact excellent throughout especially in the forwards and the way they have slotted in should give us confidence and Radford showing confidence in them hopefully pays dividends with them wanting to do well and maintain the winning ethos.
I'd rather lose a battle resting your best and win a war at the end.
Tonight will really give Radford a bit of a headache...in a good way of course but the team must be really very bouyed by that performance and Pritchard was much better.
Can't wait for next week.

Even humberside giving us credit for that one

How many is too many?

Why wouldn't they? Oh I forgot, they are all anti Hull and season ticket holders at Craven Park...grow up. Great performance and as clinical as I have seen in a long time. The defensive effort in the last 20'when you could have forgiven the players for protecting themselves sums up the spirit in the camp.

Excellent display, clinical and supremely confident.

Oh and no injuries, thank God.

Can't remember us ever doing back to back nillings.

Those who adulated over Uncle Peter's sixth place finish as a stick to beat Radders with when the going was a little tougher seem to have been a bit quieter of late.


Even those who berated evil Lee as the sinister leader of a player power coup seemed to have piped down.
Suppose being 80 away from a CC final victory and 80 away from a GF appearace might just have something to do with it.

Only the 7th time we've nilled a team in SL apparently.

well played hull, very good display, Radford got a tough call to make as I think its between Hadley and washbrook for the last place, Thompson imo would not make the bench,

I would agree with the choice between Hadley and Washy. But to be fair I thought Thompson was good tonight. Poked through the line and most carries and a ridiculous decision to disallow his try.

job done, hope michaels is ok after that cheap shot at the end

tough decision for radders for next week, hadley, thonpson, washy, abdull all deserving but only 1 will be chosen, glad i aint the one to break the news

Happy to say I joined the Radford Out brigade at half time on good friday, quickest serving of humble pie ever

Based on that Catalans perfomance we could have rested more than half the first team, but as a rule I wouldn't rest more than 5/6 at any one time

Has a super league team kept two clean sheets on the bounce before ?

Fine margins is what it's all about.

My bench would be:

Bowden
Hadley
Pritchard.
Washbrook

Tbh I posted that a little tongue in cheek mate. But I agree 5 or more is too many three at any time is enough rested imo.

it seemed frank played more out wide at times, hopefully he will play the same next week

I think we need two front rowers on the bench but for me it's between Washy and Hadley. I think he'll stick with Washy due to his versatility, although Hadley offers the same attributes.

if i was to gamble i would go

pritchard
washbrook
green
bowden

radford likes washbrook and i think tends to go for him in the big games. green and bowden gives us the 2 bench props to rotate taylor and watts

think the bench will be frank,green, Bowden, washy, Hadley 18th man

Think your right

You just can't leave it can you.
Instead of celebrating a victory you have to stir the sh it pot again!
Like for like Gentle did MUCH better than Radford over two seasons, that's plain and simple but don't let the facts get in the way of your ridiculous rant.
Radford for this season has being given a squad that we've not seen the likes of since at least 2006 if not even better and further back than that with the added maturity of youth players that Gentle just did not have and a ridiculous injury list to contend with. Again these are facts you overlook.
Has Radford got this squad playing massively better than the last two years of poop under his stewardship, absolutely, it was completely sh it or bust for him. Have fans from all corners given him praise for doing so, yes they have, including the ones that berated him for taking us down to the depths.

Fans say different things when you're actually playing decent, entertaining and winning rugby compared to gash, that's only natural, stirring the pot and being a troll as you are serves to benefit no-one.
You have serious issues, instead of revelling in how we are doing all you can do is cause trouble with your billious excrement.

Does that mean your petition won't be going on vacation with you to Londinium next weekend then?
How is it's current state of progress by the way, is it still around, laying dormant in the spare room (just in case you decide it becomes relevant again), or sensibly ignited on the quiet (probably not, I doubt mater would let you anywhere near a box of matches, I wouldn't).
Feel free to answer?

Not heard much criticism of AP lately either. Surprisingly enough when you stop recruiting average/poor players on big bucks and start recruiting good/great players on the right terms whilst also building brilliant team spirit and re-engaging with the fans then fortunes seem to improve.
