I think too many people are blaming Westerman, granted he couldn't catch Watkins (I think it was) at the break, but how is a loose forward expected to keep up with a centre, get a grip. Also for me Mini had a solid game, great runner
Wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd take McNamara in a heartbeat if we could get him. Done a pretty good job with England imo and has been gaining good experience at one of the best clubs in the world.

What is his record with England against the big 2? His record at Bradford was poor as well. Given the choice i would rather have the players coached by a random fan each week than have McNamara running the show. IF!!!! Radford goes the whole backroom staff needs to go as well(they have been part of the years of poor consistency), we need a complete overhaul and the new coach should bring his own team in.

Saturday to Thursday is no different to Sunday to Friday which teams do regularly.
This. I think 5 days is the bare minimum needed for players to recover and get even a minimal amount of "match training" in, and it would be much better if all clubs could be given 6 or 7 days turnaround. But a 5 day gap happens regularly for teams throughout the season.
Far from me to agree with Phil Clarke but I think you didn't quite make enough of being dominant in the first half.
As for Hull's issues, as an outsider looking in I reckon your problems stem from never thinking long term. It always appears as if players are signed just because someone is available or a position needs filling rather than getting the right type of player or from any real attempt to build a team. It seems like a few players are signed and then the coach is told to do his best with what's there. Then next year some will leave and a few more are signed. And so on. Rather than building a team.

Yeah, thats fair enough! Cannot understand what Radford must have said to them at half time...'if you concede in the first 40 seconds you all get a raise' ? We knew Leeds were going to score but that was just embarrassing. Hats off to them though, some of their tries were really well worked out, especially burrows last so credit where it's due.

Especially for you,a very good 1st half,nothing negative in that,but not a good 2nd half,radford is clueless.If you apply for his post you will have my full support.

I would rather have Radford than McNamara.
