I had my doubts about his appointment. Like many on here, I thought it was too big a job for a first time coach to turn our club's fortune around and revive the quintessential "sleeping giant".
I will now join the long queue of people and hold my hands up and say I was wrong. Even at the start of this season, I never saw this coming, especially after the nightmare night at Widnes when it looked like "same old same old Hull Fc".
Success is always at its greatest when it is least expected (and boy, is this season unexpected!). The plaudits and back-slaps have to go to Lee as the chief architect of this stunning season, along with his backroom staff. So, fair play to all of them for giving us a season to remember.
Now if you will excuse me, I'm off for another helping of humble pie, served up with chips, peas and gravy of course (well, I am a northern lad after all!!!).
I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.

I never once mentioned anything to do with his facial features and have never said anything personal unlike posters on here with their personal jibes towards those whom just wanted to say what they thought about the rugby and the coaches ability. There's a great deal of difference there and one that so many of the bullies on here choose to ignore at their convenience. And yes LR has done verywell so far this season

You are full of 5hite. You slated his coaching ability & him personally, I knew when he got his own squad he would turn them into a decent side, he leaves nothing unturned & his commitment is the best I know of, he lives for the game.
After always being pro-Radford, when we were 20-0 down at theirs I stood on the terraces of the Zeebrugge stand and honestly thought to myself that I wasn't sure where we could go from here and even muttered the words 'I think his time is up'. What's happened since has been nothing short of a revelation and this year should mark the start of a prolonged period of success. All the ingredients are there, Radford has recruited superbly, but for me the signing of Washy is just as important as any others, because he hasn't just signed the right players, he's signed the right people.
It's a remarkable turnaround. Good on him. It took a while to clear out the deadwood and shape his own squad but we are now starting to see the benefits of his hard work (as well as Motu Tony and Adam Pearson of course).
Shaul's try at the Lightstream was probably the most important for the club since Cooke's at Cardiff.
