Don't know, forecast keeps getting worst. Virgin Trains just cancelled tonnes of their trains for tomorrow.

Totally agree, Thompson was amazing last year, outstanding in pre season and probably our best forward against Wakey, I'll ignore the fact he missed the most tackles in the team and made 48 metres from 10 carries boasting an impressive 4.8 metres per carry.

No way should a young kid with far more potential who impressed during pre season play in front of Thompson.

I have no problem if Radford plays either, but to call people clueless and have a word with themselves when it isn't really a silly choice, had made you look a bit stupid .

Did i say Thompson was all that? I like Thompson and at only 26 still think hes got potential to be a good forward. How many SL games as Turgut played? and as he really impressed? bit over the top Dave, arguably Thompson looked better in pre-season. No way against a big aggressive Catalan side should Turgut get the nod in front of Thompson, from a fans point a few that is clueless. If Radford decides to go with Turgut, fair enough, he sees them in training every day and must see Turgut in front of Thompson, you dont, so yes, at this moment in time, from what the fans have seen, clueless is appropriate

I see the Sporting Life RL website has had a makeover.

I'm surprised they've fallen into the common trap of employing a 2 year old to design it, or is it just me who can't find any fixtures/results sections?

Maybe you now need to register to use it?

Thompson has been poor for about 18 months (with the odd good moment), lucky to be in the team and if he doesn't step up I dont think he will play much this year and doubt he will be at Hull next year. He seems a good lad and works hard, but feel we have moved on and he hasn't made the step up, unlike players like Bowden and Green, I would love to be proved wrong and hope it starts tonight, but just dont see a place for him in our side long term.

If the coaching staff thought that, he would of been in the team for the opener against Wakefield, stop pretending your part of the Hull FC set up, everybody knows your Easthullfcs puppet

Well I must be clueless then but as you don't know me you are talking total b0ll0x. I've highlighted the bit in your post which is one of the reasons I would go for Turgut over Thompson. Don't get me wrong I like Thompson and think he is a good squad player but if Hadley was fit then Thompson would likely not make the 17. Defensively is where Thompson is an issue for me as has been proved. In his first season with us he was one of the few that did well but as Dave K mentioned he does not seem to have pushed on as the squad had improved.

After watching the pre seasons for me Turgut has out shone Thompson who for all his experience didn't stand out as much as he should have done to be honest.

However its all opinion and as much as I agree with my own opinion I wouldnt call anyone clueless if their opinion differs to mine.

Weather forecast earlier said the storm is moving on quick, winds are supposed to die off at least which is good for the kicking of course, must say on way to work this morning on my bike Doris was blowing me quite hard.
