My answer yesterday at 6_30 would have been no,after a nights sleep I am back on the fence.Myself and I would think the majority on here agree that the club have held onto certain players ,extending contracts through loyalty and sentimentality,was a mistake.Some of these players where part of the team that won us the cup twice and I for one will be forever grateful.My question is,from my uncomfortable position on the fence,are we not in danger of doing the same with the coaching staff.

Hull will give us a tough game but the key is to silence their fans in the Threepenny Stand.We have to do this because if we do'nt they will get behind their side and lift them in a way you've never seen,heard or witnessed before.

I'd be happy to see him just get some new blood in as help. Keep Radders as head coach but get some new blood in as specialist attack and specialist defence coach.

Won't make the blindest bit of difference imo. Our issues are 100% attitude and effort related. When we want to defend we can defend with the best of them. When we are switched on in attack we can score plenty of points. The problem is that half the time we just can't be bothered, and when we encounter adversity we collapse in a manner that a professional sportsman should be embarrassed by. Ultimately the buck stops with Radford for this, and he clearly doesn't know how to fix it and doesn't even appear to be attempting to. The fact that he is happy to shrug his shoulders and say that's just the team we are is frankly an insult to the fans. That was embarrassing yesterday. Look around the forums at the comments of non Hull supporting fans. We are a laughing stock.

I don't care if we are 4th (hardly anything to brag about anyway let's be honest), I don't even care if we win the cup again. Radford has to go now. I have tried to be fair, but I've seen enough now.

There comes a time with any coach, even a good one, when he has done all he can do.

Players and coaches get used to each other and players drop into a "comfort zone"

Nothing against Radford, he was a good honest player and the same as a coach but it's time for a change

Same here.

We've had two of the greatest days in the club's history during Radford's tenure but the inconsistency is alarming as is the number of hammerings.

2017
18-58 at home to Salford
24-52 at home to Leeds
0-45 at Magic to Saints

2018
10-72 at Wakefield
10-80 at Warrington

2019
12-63 at home to Warrington
16-62 at Saints
2-55 at Magic to Huddersfield

We've shipped 50+ five times in under a year - actually five times in twenty-five games.

Worth pointing out too that Radford is our longest serving coach since Arthur Bunting and only Bunting has had a longer spell as Hull coach in the last fifty years.

Id argue that the hammerings do more harm than the victories like Warrington last week do good. The attending fan base cant be happy not knowing which FC is gonna turn up and some will and are already thinking well the team cant be arsed so why should i.

But Pearson will give Radford next year (or part of) with his new team but you can pretty much guarantee that we will still have hammerings and be in the same position because weve been getting hammered throughout Radfords tenure whatever team has played

Whatever happens we definitely need some new blood in the coaching team. last has been on the coaching staff since the mcrae days and radford must have been back around the club for well over a decade. Time for some fresh inout and ideas

I like Lasty but he's been a the club an age. I think he's done some assistant coaching at lower international level but it's telling that he's never either fancied a shot as head coach in the lower leagues nor has he (as far as I'm aware) been offered such a position.

I'm not blaming him for our failings but as has been said a change of ideas and fresh blood in the coaching team is overdue.

However let s new coach in now let him see what he has got with plenty of time then give him a full pre season with the squad. It's a shame with Radford and he will go down a legend but you have to move on in sport.


Personally I think it’s a weak argument if a coach states they need to sign their own players , especially if it’s across the entire team. I wouldn’t expect miracles over night, but an experienced, quality coach should be able to mould a team unit including players who have represented their country.
