The reserves came back in 2017, so it's hardly surprising "fringe" players were brought in to bolster the numbers.

Radford, didn't give him the chance, choose to play Wahbrook, Fash or Hadley at holker even when Houghton was out, he should have been on the bench most games.

Massive mistake.

Probably say the same about Abdul, although some was his fault for his poor attitude.

radford wanted to keep litten,kr paid a fee for him, he wanted to go and play more 1st team rugby,, thats what happened ,

Isnt that what I wrote?

He wouldn't have left Hull, if he was getting the opportunities, so it was Radfords fault.

Also I dont think Rovers paid a fee, think it was a player swap (although they could have been money also involved)

100% Radfords fault, how do you know he wasn't ready if not given a chance and playing props and backrowers at hooker, he also played well in his free appearances, just wasn't the usual Radford player, who is either 15st or a defensive workhorse.



Pearson doesnt do the recruitment, so not sure how he can be blamed for cap mismanagement.

You swapped Litten for Joel Speed.

Incidentally, Speeds contract expires at the end of this season. Anybody any idea if he is renewing or leaving the club.......?

Hull FC can confirm that Dean Hadley and Jez Litten have joined Hull Kingston Rovers with immediate effect. Hull FC will receive significant compensation for Litten who came through the club’s academy. As part of the deal, a highly rated Hull KR academy player will also move the other way to Hull FC. https://www.hullfc.com/news/2019-07-29- ... in-hull-kr
