Not exactly let himself go, has he?


Webster's post match bleat that they "ran out of troops" was worthy of Sandercock. Pryce, Talanoa, Manu, Tuimavave, Minichiello. Probably had as many first teamers out as them.

Have to say apart from one dropped ball Yeaman again did well and his pass to Shaul was outstanding. Also thought Fonua was excellent with the ball particularly as we created so little for the first 50 mins. As previously stated Ellis is superb - one of the best modern day players to wear the Hull shirt.

Well i decided i couldnt take anymore at half time so went in the garden, then i heard my wife shout come on when we scored the first try and i watched it till the end then - Now im ecstatic! we were poor from 1-17 in the first 60 mins with the possible exception of Ellis, Houghton and and Shaul who incedentally where the players who led from the front in the final 20 mins when we turned it around. So many players seem to become completely different, Fonua was excellent in that last 20 but decent throughout, Pritchard the same though it does disturb me when he takes on himself to become a play maker - does he get that frustrated that he tries and sorts it himself?

Anyway i live near Caravan Park and could hear the FC fans walking along Preston Rd towards Marfleet all in good voice and probably deciding to stick together as the KR fans have history for not taking things like this very well resulting in a tirade or abuse and spit so i cant say i blame them!

Just so Bonaire doesn't miss his mate front left.

Not like you to sack things off when the going gets tough Seb.

To be fair, I did think that myself on the Radford comparison, you have a point. And going of your point of view, that second half had nothing to do with radford and all down to houghton taking it upon himself to change everything. Personally I dont give radford credit for that win, but im also not going to be all over him like a rash as you say , after a win. If wed of come out after half time and performed like the last 20, I would of praised radford for whatever hed said at half time, but like you , think it was more down to some of our senior players, houghton/ellis for the dramaric turn around

Considering that's his first game in 6 weeks I thought Fonua was good. Even when we were playing badly he was a bit of a highlight. It will be interesting to see how we line up when Pryce and Talanoa are back. Fonua at centre looks like it could work.

What a game. Credit to Radford for realising his tactics weren't working and changing things but why did it take him until after an hour? Anyway, here's hoping he keeps the last 20mins tactics for the Wire and I'm confident we'll turn them over.

I don't mean to knock Radford all the time, but I don't think he had anything to do with it. It just seemed like the players thinking, nothing to lose, let's just throw caution to the wind. And even if it was Radford telling them to throw caution to the wind, it's hardly tactical genius is it. I could have told them that.

Looks like a bit of a strike player to me like you say he did pretty well when we were creating nothing.
