For next season, if Micheals signs, we need to either sign a halfback or look to play Abdul there, Carlos isn't creative enough with ball in hand and Sneyd needs to work on his passing and running game, all go all out for Brough and use Carlos in the centres.
Personally I wouldn't keep Micheals and use the money and quota spot for a half, we have Tala, Naughton, Fonua and Griffin who can play on the wing.
Hopefully not many will play for England in the off season.
Ain't we forgetting Naughton's being let go? Shaul as running half and Conner at back!

T. King, G. King, Patton, Penny, Wilde, Philbin, R. Evans, Smith. 8 players there through our academy who played on Friday. Hardly Cherry picked superstars.
Then of course you're missing our other 1st team regulars through the academy. Currie, B. Evans, Laithwaite, Dwyer, Ben Harrison
and Fringe 1st teamers through the academy. Livett and Johnson
And next season of course we'll have Mike cooper back who came through the academy and is adored over at St. George.
Anything else you want to say about our investment in local talent? Because there I've named 15 lads out of our 33 man squad who have come through the academy. Next season we'll have an absolute minimum of 13.

I dont think its a mental thing from Wembley, i just think the team is knackered, a lack of injuries has actually bitten us on the booty as very few have had any time off and it showed, we were off in intensity and at the end of the season when your supposed be peaking were done! For me thats the season over and although no one can argue that a wembley win has been great we was top for large parts of the season and at the death we lose it and finish third. Im deeply dissapointed in tonight and doubt ill be the only one
I've been saying this for a few weeks now and been shot down for it too. Some of those players are absolutely shot and I'm not surprised.

Losing to Leeds and Huddersfield latish on in the season meant that resting players became less of an option. Every game from then on was a "must win", and we're suffering the consequences now.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

What are you talking about? Picking out certain aspects that we could do better for the future isn't having a go, it's discussing the finer points of things that i and others have discussed were we think in our opinion things could be improved. Or do you think bringing on interchange players only to do 20 minutes in games is ok? Do you think going on the lash after Wembley has a more positive or negative effect on a performance directly thereafter? Do you think playing already jaded players again instead of using more squad players whom aren't is best despite the fact that this was proven this season not to be in short turnaround situations? against teams such as Hudds when the players were knackered and we got beat (& they were bottom and absolute cack as were Leeds when they beat us, even against Saints two weeks back I and others though Radford could have rested a couple more forwards. yet against warrington at home at Easter we won with loads of fresh legs. If you are serious about succeeding as much as you can you look at everything possible. This is a forum, this is where stuff about Hull FC is discussed.
Just a thanks for the good humour of the Hull fans...I was on radio warrington (local community radio) and we had some good chat with the Hull fans around us.

It is not necessarily what you say, it is how you say it. You always come over as critical of Radford.
