It's also only the second time in the last 7 games they've lost by more than 8, and they had several missing, so it could just be a setback in recent progress, yet. Radford is well into his second season and we're getting worse, not better.

As for the dog analogy, if a dog bites the hand that feeds it more than once, it's usually best to put it down. He doesn't need to keep having digs at the fans, and that is not healthy for or helping the club either.


He was asked directly by Lloyd "does it hurt you?", "what would you say to them?" And so on. If he said he wasn't bothered people would say he's a deaf/blind idiot. He says it does and feels it's partly unjustified and he's still wrong.

Not sure on the other

Edit: Walton played for England U-17s if that counts?


I got Griffin, so that's it then. Although Taylor is stretching it a bit. If he counts for them, we can add Whiting to ours & say we had 6.

To add further context, we had 5 who have played international rugby ourselves.


So they did have more internationals than us. He was asked I think about their request to postpone the game due to 16 injuries. Pointing out the strength they still had plus our own absences is fair response.

Salford should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute for their actions this week. It's supposed to be a top professional sport yet they embarrass themselves and the game by trying to postpone a game and then fielding a pretty competitive team. Radford was entirely correct to point this out.

And it showed particularly with 20 to go I thought we were losing the battle in the middle but fair play we hung in there.

Exactly. We are awful to watch. Being awful to watch only really cuts it as acceptable when you're winning nearly every week. If all we're going to do is survive, entertain us whilst doing so. That might well be the difference between Hull & Rovers fans that he doesn't understand, they get entertained, we get bored.

All I'm saying is he is contributing to how he is being perceived by fans with the way that he is handling himself, and I don't understand how he can think it will help. Gates are falling because people don't want to watch the rugby he has us playing, I don't see how criticising them and dropping hints that they are crap fans compared to other teams will reverse that trend.

In fairness our fans have been getting progressively crapper for a long time - in tandem with our demise over several years. It's also far easier to have a view aired these days. On balance he shouldn't have a go at the fans - or at least he should address his thoughts to those with banners but thank the majority of supporters who don't have banners, who turn up week in and week out when it really isn't easy, and who did actually get behind the team in the second half today. I think he has a right to take on his detractors but he should be praising the type of support that the team got tonight albeit late on.
