Harris although lightweight has a bit of pace and i agree we have nothing to lose now playing him with Sneyd. Danny Houghton is playing on past performance only and is way off the pace.Jamie Shaul does more running from acting half and we need more than a tackling machine at 9.Yes give Litten a chance now at 9 and let Houghton know he has some competition as he has become complacent. Miloudi i am not sure of.He is a disaster at full back under a high ball and cant tackle but when on the wing played quite well so maybe a wing replacement is where he will end up unless he signs up at Doncaster which is a possibility, I still maintain Griffin is a very average centre.International class nowhere near.Put him up against anyone decent like last night and you see his limitations. i was one of the first to say play him in the second row and i agree now should be the time to give him a run whilst Minichello is out. We need some power and pace into this squad to even compete for top 8 next season and as i said its possible we will finish this season with 11 consecutive losses,a large downturn in fan interest for 2019 and a major fall in pass sales. If we do go 0-11 wouldnt surprise me to see some players moved out whilst under contract and one or two surprise signings coming in. Alternatively Pearson goes out to Australia and brings an Australian coach in.
Don't think Pearson will ditch Radford, he stuck by him in 2014/2015 when things weren't great and the fans were very vocal in wanting him out, after 2 Cup wins his stock has risen massively.
I think the club will have to bring in at least one signing to boost pass sales at least, but we have pulled off some good transfers over the last few years so I remain confident we can pull a surprise out of the bag. I also think its likely an SL team will be relegated this year, and that will trigger a lot of transfer moves, as that club releases everyone and say Toronto strengthen further meaning a lot of wheeling and dealing over Winter. As just one example Widnes have signed Gelling, he won't be coming for Championship rugby.

As a Riderofthepalehorse take your blinkers off.The team is not good enough and the coach should take responsibility for not refreshing the squad for 2019 like other leading teams and that may ultimately cost him his job.
As you have posted with verve and countless times after another loss for Hull it would seem you are the one who is excited, seemingly gleeful at our current plight.
Incidentally the rider wears goggles, the horse has the blinkers.
As for refreshing the team, read my earlier posts on my opinions on retaining Mini & Sika, but regardless which route Hull take I will back them 100%,.
Do you actually support our club? As your contributions usually occur in abundance after defeats.

Justin because some one criticises it doesn’t meant they do not follow the club. Let’s not let threads get derailed with that type of nonsense please, we have had far too much of that on these forums of late.

Who is Justin?
Firstly I can accept constructive criticisms of our club, no problem, opinions entitled and all that, but as you have alluded to this particular thread, check back Danny Houghton, Abdul, Griffin, Mini Sikah, Miloudi Radders, on this thread alone are targeted by a certain poster, never a positive, as for derailment of this forum, I suggest you research earlier posts, I will defend our team wether you like it or not.
I think you have to accept where you are with injuries etc.
Huddersfield were like that early season 10 players injured Brough suspended and tonked 66-4 at St Helens, beaten by 30 + by Hull KR at home 50 + away by Wigan.
Our few senior players were trying too hard and having to double up on effort to compensate for 17 year olds in the team who actually did very well and we were bottom of the league. Three imports that only have played 9 matches between them all season. Two haven’t managed one match.
But players back, a change in attitude by the new coach and a better settled team week in week out and look what happened.
It’s easy to get fed up when it’s like it is at the moment but trust me you have too many good players when they come back not to be a very good side.
Nothing to say you won’t end our good run on Friday, Saints were 8 point favourites on Friday but the day when you turn a 66 point loss into a 4pt win are the days you savour more than most and yours will come back....

As of our Chairman notes pre Wakey game, the difference between being a fan and a supporter, in any kind of weather.

I’m in that club, have been all my life, born to it, as a Hull supporter my personal experiences over the last two years have been fantastic, wonderful memories, I can take a mediocre season on the chin especially with the well documented injuries we’ve been dealt this year, no organising halfback virtually all season, bla bla,
An owner who backs his staff to the hilt, a coach who does it his way, no flannel, but no knee jerk reaction from the die hards it’s sport, it’s unpredictable, we’ve had worse times a lot worse.
With a fully fit team, we are a match for anyone, anywhere, at present we’re in the Doldrums shall we jump ship and run, never say I.

AH, can classic “I’ll pick on a typo” type are you ? WETHER you like it or not, perhaps some deserve a bit of criticism. I would suggest it’s you that needs to do a bit of research before labelling some one a None fan.
As mentioned, to thread derailment. Just plain boring and far too prevalent on this forum of late.
