Really don't understand why some posters keep knocking turgut. He`s a kid, give him time. He`s got a bit of fire in his belly. It could well do him some good to go out on loan where he`s not under the spotlight so much.

Masi, my only criticism ( constructive ) is that I wish he had a bit more aggression in him.
maybe there is some spare O meley face rub in the changing room he could use.

I like Turgut. I like the fact he's got a bit of mongrel in him. Reminds me for some reason of Bateman at Wigan. Still got plenty of time to develop. Radford must see something in him to have him on the bench when there where other options available.

I said that MM needed to believe in himself and really let himself go, seems to hold back a bit, watched him in the academy and he's clearly got talent and some pace, maybe he'll get the belief and make further strides the more game time he gets,

As for Turgut, Radford has let go better players at the same age and not given them a chance despite performing better than Turgut has who had a lot of games last year. Turgut was bigged up by some as being the next big thing, on the back of him being the academy captain I guess, I never watched him before making his debut other than in the academy England game highlights but so far he hasn't stood out as anything special and has shown he doesn't have a good temperament.

Great second half effort by us, would have been bitterly disappointed to lose against a side like Hudds.

Name one player as good as Turgut who has been released without a chance?

You've done it now

I'd be amazed if he replies.

It was like a red rag to a bull. He'll be frothing at the mouth and concocting a reply about HTW, tommy lee, craig hall et al

Bumpy can't name any players.

I was interested to check Radford's record and went back to see which youngsters we released. In Superleague we have Miller and Rankin but they are Aussies. Ben Crooks is at Leigh. Cunningham at London. Rawsthorne went to Toronto and then we've a couple at Doncaster and York.

I think its clear that Radders has got his youth policy spot on.

Abdull should be given an extended run at loose man as it makes for much more creativity in the side. Last nights game proves the point we were much more impressive when he appeared. He also is a strong direct runner if we need to play that way.
Masi was also good but I think he needs to be more agressive in contact but I'm sure that will come in time. Overall good performance.

I'm still trying to think of a young second rower who might qualify - none so far.

I still think Watts will be loose forward when he's back, but having Abdull available offers so much.

Was talking after Sneyd went off and looked to be limping a bit, we now have genuine strength in the half back positions and if one of our first choices is injured, its not a massive worry as we've got Connor and Abdull ready to fill in, and not just makeshifts like we've had in the past

That would be the England academy then. Which suggests that its not just Radford and the Hull FC coaching staff that rate him but also those with no connection to the club. Then again they probably know nothing either.
