I don't beleive he has under the present regime...
21 year old lad shipped over as an emergency, played 14 games with 7 wins even with a still out of sorts Holdsworth alongside (whom though a good field kicker isn't talented otherwise), he has no-one else to turn to as we still don't have a 7 and missing our most potent strike force (Lineham/Crooks) for the last 6 of those games (I include Wembley even though Crooks did play) Overall given the circumstances and his swift transition to come over to play not a bad record for a kid thrown in the deep end.
2014, clearly not flavour of the month from the start, his main connection (& family member with the club has been fired (for having the temerity to get us two top 6 places and a Wembley appearance no less).
He doesn't play in any of the first 6 games despite us being poop then comes in and we win handsomely against Salford, he's in a side that scores 36 points the next game (Salford in the CC) but our poop defence overall let's us down & we lose by 1 point, next game we win handsomely against Hudds, that team that were the LLT winners and finished 3rd this season. Narrow loss to Rovers then a standard win against the whipping boys London. 4 losses on the bounce (because they were all his fault of course) then a covering the cracks win against London then dropped and that's his Hull FC career over...
Do you know what, it stinks to high heaven, bullocks has the kid been given a chance, he's had 10 games..TEN. We've being dog turd all season long barring a couple of games (Hudds, Saints & maybe Widnes though they played their worst game ever apparently)

I wouldn't have minded him playing alongside Pryce but we have a better player coming in in Sneyd so,yes he has been given enough time.

I thInk it was obvious as soon as Radford took over it was clear he didn't rate Miller.
He wasn't given a proper pre-season and was only called up to the first team when we ran out of half backs.
Having said that when he was given his chance and had an extended run in the side he didn't really take it.
Things may have been different if he had had the chance to play alongside an experienced partner but I regret at this stage of his career he was not what we needed.
It's a shame because I loved his enthusiasm and he always gave 100% but sadly he is not presently good enough for a team with our ambitions.
First there was wisdom Then there was knowledge Now there is only information

I agree with this but, I would have expected him to show his potential at Doncaster which he didn't appear to do. So overall despite a gut feeling to the opposite I think we have to give the benefit of any doubt to the coaching staff and club.
I am a supporter of Hull FC, I know nobody in any official capacity at the club, I have no inside information, but I reserve the right to hold opinions.
