Anyone know what Radford's got planned? Binning off the overseas camp actually seemed to pay dividends last year as we hit the ground running, but most teams do seem to favour one. Guess it depends a bit on the WCC format and whether we're involved or not. Got a Boxing Day friendly v Cas as well IIRC.

Be taking them in east park then in lennys for dinner. He spends money like its his own!

Overseas camp is meaningless, you can have just the same cameraderie and intensity here in the UK.
Stating warmer weather by some makes no sense, first few games of the season are bloody cold/snow.
Should get in contact with the British Army RL team and get them down to have some time with the marines/paras, that'll have some of them pi ssing in their pants.
Also stuff like yoga and shiatsu are great for maintaining wellbeing, avoiding injuries and diagnosing issues.

Wouldn't them ing their pants be bullying, isn't that one of the reasons you started your petition claiming they was getting bullied?

They are going to Spain for 9 days, depending on whether they have to go to Australia or not

Before or after Christmas?

Damn!
Why has Radders had them boxing sparring when the answers been yoga all along?

Take pre-season at an easier pace and peak later in the season imo has to be the way forward. Last season we did what Hudds have done a few times now (obviously + the CC) but next year we need to calm it down a little and play a longer game season wise

The most important thing we'll do in the off and pre-season is sign the right S/O

Get ourselves involved in them Auckland nines, jobs a good un

January

long has radders dont do want chester did at hull kr per-season we'll be ok

Firstly, the petition from a year and a half ago when Radford was a load of turd as I'd said in the forums (with respect to his coachig ability at the time) mentioned nothing about bullying so you know nowt.
Second, an environment that is designed to make you work your socks off beyond what you think your limits are and yet enable you to work as a team for each other has got nothing to do with being bullied. Neither has a situation you're not used to/don't feel you can cope with (until you do)and are fearful/intimidated by.
So aside from thread deraillement what the actual fack are you going on about?

Quote ="Mrs Barista"It's true. https://www.change.org/p/adam-pearson-h ... terminated'" Radford showed nothing in the 2014-15 season or before to show that he had a clue. This last season we beat what has now been shown as a v average Salford side, beat a v average Catalan side, then got beat by Wigan then got battered by Widnes. A lot of peoples patience including mine then snapped, banners went up, petitions went out as it seemed like change was needed before another season went downhill. Nobody knew (inc gypsy Barista and her crystal ball) that things would turn around so dramatically so to constantly drag up people previous thoughts when fans generally were feeling let down deja-vu is absolutely pathetic.

Wow. I was just supporting knockersbumpMKII in his assertion. Why so angry after this most wonderful of seasons masterminded by Radford once he'd secured "his" team? I'm so happy.

Quote ="Mrs Barista"It's true. https://www.change.org/p/adam-pearson-h ... terminated'" Some of the comments from people are superb, in hindsight. Anyway, the advantage of having a preseason trip abroad is you can pretty much guarantee the weather for the duration of the trip, rather than getting up in the morning wondering if the pitch you were going to train on over here is frozen and having to rearrange/cancel sessions.

You have called him a bully in the past, I always said judge him when he's gelled his own squad, you know nothing about RL, Radders will preseason them in the way he sees fit.

This is a lots problem. Can't see what's in front of them. 2014 /15 it was obvious that gentle and mcraes signings were both dire and expensive and radford had hell of a job on his hands to rebuild not just the 1st team squad but build from the ground up and lay the foundations of what we've got this year.
I expected a bit more last year but we were getting beat by small margins and knew by mid season this year's signings so it was easy to see better times
Personally I saw things v rovers in the pre season game I'd not seen from a hull team in years. Followed that with an excellent performance v salford who were by no means average. Spent most the year in the top 6. But a multitude of problems caused them to implode from the three quarter point.
Also the catalans team was again absolutely not average at the time. They imploded mid season but from the beginning to then they pretty much lived in the top 3. Even had spells top
Wigan loss was by a point via our own head explosion
So when you watch constantly with the glass pretty much empty it's no woder when a bad result happens, pants are wet and we as a club fans are from outside considered "fickle"
So it's perfectly acceptable to drag up people examples of ludicrous OTT rantings

And in that that was correct, his treatment of Shaul was despicable.
For you to try to compare a really hard and intimidating regime of pre-season training within a military environ by some of the best trained soldiers that expect absolute commitment in the hope that it bonds you together closer than you can imagine to a clear case of bullying by a coach of one of his younger team members in the way that he did is utterly stupid.
That my call for using a military camp to enable that same bonding process instead of a jolly away in warmer climates was derailled by yourself to then bring up that subject which had absolutely zero to do with what was being discussed.
Your deliberate and antagonising post is against the AUP on two counts.
But clearly you're more interested in being a troll than discussing what might be the best options for the club/players as a pre-season camp, not the first time is it though!

Oh the irony.

You were put on a final warning the other day for breaching the AUP and went on to repeat your allegations so you shouldn't even still be on here.

"Well Poisoner"

Bless him, his total negativity towards the club is rather endearing.
At least he's consistently full of .
We've had accusatory adjectives such as [idisgraceful, despicable,[/i and [idisgusting[/i describing the club, and that's just in the last 24 hours.

Time for the mods to earn their corn I feel.
