The thing is that the pack did OK without being spectacular. They certainly weren't dominated like they were in the first Derby. Packs were more or less even over the 80 IMO.



You'd have to ask Radford why Heremaia warmed the bench for as long as he did. He doesn't do long minutes but could have been used more effectively IMO.

I remember saying at the time it was the wrong appointment. Not enough experience, and no partition between being a player and team mate and then head coach. Quite a few hulls fans agreed with me at the time. I touted harris as a viable option because he'd been a top player and would comman respect, already had experience as a head coach and had done a good apprentiship as an assistant at a top trophy winning team.



He looked ideal to me but sadly koukash has got in there first.



Hull NEED a top coach. They've been crying out for one for nigh on the last decade.

Harris is doing a great job at Salford isnt he

Thankfully Castleford are winning comfortably against one of our relegation rivals.

Wakefield look a poor side, really sums up how we are.

Hopefully Hudds will do us a favour later too.

He's been there a few weeks.



Everything I had foreseen when radford was appointed has come to pass. It's so laughably predictable.

You and me both but I wouldnt have Harris either

Seems to me we have two problems:



1. A squad that isn't good enough for the position in the league we aspire to.

2. A coach that isn't good enough to get the best out of the squad we have.



The first one will take time to fix. The second less so if AP gets a grip.

if only someone who'd watched most of his career and talks to people who watch the GC Titans and their Holden cup team had told us all this beforehand.





Rankin's a FB, and not a very good one at that. Prone to brain farts and is anonymous for large parts of the game. Not my words, but I'm not seeing any reason to disagree.

Even bradford shift the ball better than we do

People were mocking Gale as a target. That was a better kick than anything we managed yesterday.

And Lunt hast just gone over him.

Not saying much though is it?



Other than london and wakey, every club has a half back who is better than all of ours
