It's almost as if it's a Rovers supporter pretending to be a Hull supporter

You may be onto something. The old "Been a supporter for <insert decades here> but this is the lowest ebb ever and I won't go again while Radford's in charge" features too. Stellar.

Hope the lad does well , It will be interesting to see how well his game can develop at a different club .

I think its good of him to include his IQ as part of user name.

It might be his shoe size!

This thread is nearly twice the size of the Pritchard confirmation thread.

Not sure what to make of that.

Make of it that hull fans love to p..s n moan more than enjoy good news or good times!

Half the people on this board don't post on good news threads. It really is that simple.

Good decision for him,good coaching is what the lad needs,and a choice between radford and powell is a no brainer and why would the lad take a backward step and come back to hull.

Liam Watts is in the form of his career under Radford of course. Couldn't fulfil his potential at his former club. It goes on.

It was his off the field activities that were the root of his problems. Maybe he has now got his head together. I hope so as I rate him.

Think him and Taylor will go well.

3yr deal at Cas confirmed today.

Scott taylor is a cracking signing for you.

He is correct though.Powell lost a lot of players from last season but has still been able to produce a team challenging for a top four position unlike our own super coach.

My thoughts are that a coach can get a team up for a year through motivation and the opposition underestimating them but for Powell to repeat that in his 2nd year despite losing some good players suggest that he is a quality coach.

On that basis I wish Crooks all the best and hope that he can reignite his career. The kid has got some silky skills.

good luck to the kid, imo hasn't pushed on the last 2 years but a new club might re ignite his career

I'd certainly expect Taylor to. Watts has always had the talent (called up to an England Training squad as long ago as 2011), it has always been more an issue of consistency. If he sorts that out, he'll be one of the best in SL.

Watts has had a good season and is looking the part now.

Come on well under Radford which was the original point to Des the troll.

When he was with us his problems were off the pitch,he seems to have sorted them out unlike westerman,and its showing on the pitch.Shaul and crooks seemed to do well under radford,while yeaman is excelling under him

If anyone can build the kid it's Powell. I think Radford ruined him and just put him in games when he felt like it or shoved him in the Donny games. I think he's a talented kid needs confidence not be put down. Good luck to him I bet he will be laughing at Radford in a few years. Probably the same with the other kids too. they need more game time not just the odd one. How do you build a team of young players if you don't play them?

If we'd signed a centre unable to break out from aussie 3rd grade there'd be uproar on here. I'm sure the god who is Powell will fix up all his shortcomings just prior to taking up a lucrative top job in the NRL will be interesting to see how it pans out.

He did and he is.



Shame Sandy couldn't have stuck around.

was great first year but last 2 s.hite good luck to the kid but no great loss to us
