Radfords comments after the game

Lack of intent
Players let the club down

and what about this
asked whether he just wants to get on with the match against Huddersfield
he answered not with some of these blokes
Really Lee .Not the right thing to say in public

However nothing about any of his failings

Played Tuimavave who was not fit and carrying an injury.Hence Buchanan on the bench giving us a lightweight bench
played both Bowden and Westerman in front of Masi and Jack Brown when both are struggling for form.
Shauls form dropped off a cliff.
Satae came off the bench in the first half and only five minutes at the end when the game was lost.Whats that all about?
He should have a least had one spell with Taylor
Ar the moment Radford is Teflon but it wont last forever

Completely agree with you there and maybe complacency has set in with Lee due to his close relationship with Adam.
Hastings and Jones aside I would not have any other Salford players in our team, yet they play entertaining rugby and play as a team.
We should have beaten them with our comparative teams but desire and structure were evident in 1 team and it certainly wasn't ours.

Unfortunately can’t argue with much of the above if at all any of it. For a team with so much to play for before kick off to put in that sort of performance is an embarrassment and unacceptable. It was shambolic to put it mildly and would have made the keystone cops look organised.
We didn’t look interested for most of the 80mins, we were slow in defence yet again just standing and waiting and then couldn’t even Bring the Salford players to ground or stop the offload and surrendered metres so easily to the opposition once again. Our ball retention skills leave an awful lot to be desired yet again, along with our ability to fail to put opposition under pressure at the end of our sets by the usual brain fart, poor option, poor execution and lack of structure or ideas.
But it’s not like it’s a one off so as bad as the players on the field were today what the hell do they do in training as the same poop just continues.

I don’t think there were many positives you could take out that game other than Satae looks like he maybe a decent addition and they have two weeks to sort that poop out.
Thought Paea, Carlos and to an extent Taylor showed up but as for most of the rest the less said the better.

Sickness bug didn't help, that's why Manu didn't play, and there were others.

Re: Salford (Home) : Sat Aug 17, 2019 8:16 pm  

To be honest, we’re not worthy of second place. Think it shows the quality of Super League that we were in with a shout of it.

Fair play to Salford, by far the better team for 65 minutes. Thought Paea showed up well for us though. Maybe the only one. Salford played a good, fast style of rugby. They are a club constantly losing their best players and yet still compete. Kudos to them and their coach.

There’s been a lot of big recruitment done for next year, so the expectation levels at Hull will be raised, not least from the owner. Don’t think the maulings we’ve had at home this year will wash next.

Just glad we aren’t playing Saints next week. We’d be looking at a defeat of 2015 proportions.

Consideration was given to him.

Tonight showed for me the difference in coaching ability and motivation.

Does that mean that over the season, Radford has out coached your boy Watson? We beat them 2 games to 1, so Radford must better, mustn't he?

By your logic, Radford has outcoached every coach in the league this season, besides Holbrook.

Who do you want to be FC coach?

Re: Salford (Home) : Sat Aug 17, 2019 8:58 pm  

Radford has even mentioned it,why dont hull players like playing at home?.in front of 11000 speccies today hull looked totally disinterested,salford on the other hand seemed buoyed up on their 40 plus fans.questions need to be asked,this has been ongoing for a few seasons now and its not good enough.anyone who like myself has bought a season pass this season has seen some right dross.

Besides St Helens I bet the fans of every team in the league thinks that their team has served up dross this season.

But I understand your frustration at our home form, it hasn't been pretty. But with the way the competition is won now, you just have to stick in there and get it right when it really matters, it's no longer about who's the best over the season.

Watson is not my boy but with lesser resources and continually losing his best players he does an admiral job.
The only logic being applied here is your warped sense of reality and ridiculous presumptions.
I on the other hand am only commenting on tonight's performance as most people are until you come up with that cr@p.

It's not my job to pick the next coach either.

By the way which team won tonight, was well organised in defence and attack and played entertaining rugby, are only 2 points behind us,despite being owned by the fans and playing in front of an almost empty stadium?
So is that then coaching ability or wealth of resources then?

Oh and by your logic Radford must be a better coach then Holbrook as he's won 2 cups.

You don't have to be so protective of Radford you know, I'm not calling him.
Just saying I was impressed with how Salford were set up and played.

Correct. As mentioned, every team apart from Saints is nearer the bottom than the top, and we're joint 2nd on points. We'll miss the play offs now IMO - as Radford conceded it's now advantage everyone around us. Catalans are probably done, but I think the top 5 will be Wigan, Wire, Saints, Cas and Salford as I can't see us winning more than one of our remaining games.

Our home form is poor. However chicken and egg it is the fact remains our vocal support is better away. Not that that's a hugely determining factor, just an observation.
