I like the analogy though. Sacking Radford with no obvious successor or increased funds could be setting people up for No Dealesque carnage.

Yes.

Well the only positive thing I can think of for last night is that I watched a good team play really well and it shows what a top signing can do with the ball. (austin)


Unfortunetly it wasn't my team but well played Warrington.

What do we need funds for in a salary cap sport? Also not fussed on the marquee money issue as plenty of clubs operate with what they have.

Obvious successor??
Who knows what is going on behind the scenes or who would apply should the post become available,certainly not you.

Hardly carnage is it.

Players salary aren't the only expense, Ellis should take over IMHO, try and get Motu back.

Ha liked the way you hesitated “will you win anything” PROBABLY not. You mug, more interested in our failings than your own team.
Troll off.

we don't want Ellis coaching, we want him playing. He said last night he's carrying on until the end of the season.

He can always tell us how many trophies KR have won in the last 30 years, and I don't count a plate as a trophy!

maybe time we gave Langtree a game ? hasn't been doing to bad at donny

I agree. He is no way a saviour, and he might end up looking extremely average, but I'm pretty confident that last night he would have given it his absolute all. Needs to impress to get a first team spot so he would have put in more effort than most of them. I'd also give him a go.

He’s in our A team, and looks good, as does Benny the Polish lad, problem is as with Hakim, the step up can be too much, ideally they need a chance when we are playing well, to change for Salford would be a bit like out of the fire and into the frying pan.
We must go again, work hard, heads up, claw a result if we can, weve been humiliated no doubt, but we won’t be the last team this will happen to. Keep the faith Hull fans.

Well, quite. We run reserves, pay the SMC £800k p.a I think, plus County Road, and people want marquee players, more and better coaches and to find cash to pay people severance. Undoubtedly better decisions can be made, but some pragmatism, context and realism wouldn't go amiss.

Just think if a trophy was awarded for records? You would need a pretty big Cabinet

This makes no sense. I won't explain why because you probably won't understand.

Ok, I will explain to you in simple terms so you can understand. Some of your fans constantly bang on about trophies ( or the lack of in the east side of the city ) Thats fine as I dont know Any Rovers fan stating we are better than we are, Yet you guy's think you are top 4 EVERY season yet have broken more records than Roy Castle in the last two years, Hence my remark to MGarbutt

Indeed. like the 0-50 record must sit proudly in your trophy cabinet.

Roy Castle didn't break records, he presented "Record Breakers" which featured records broken by other people. Also you don't need the apostrophe in "guys" as it's a plural form rather than the possessive tense.

Thanks for the Info, But think you know what I was getting at

I think that Hull FC are short of money. Adam Pearson is not rich per se. Yes he's well off compared to many on this forum; but he's poor when compared to someone like the Allam's for example. Being the owner of the club and chairman is his job. Therefore he takes a salary from the club. Quite a generous salary I would imagine. At other rugby league clubs the person in his position puts money in. My point here is that this sum of money could be used to fund either a marquee signing or two other quality signings. Some posters are bemoaning the loss of Ellis as a leader on the pitch. You may get this season out of him. But in rugby terms he is old and teams [like Warrington will target him. I'm hearing rumours that Talanoa's off field antics and Westerman; who is not popular in the dressing room; are two of the problems. Has anyone else heard this? Lee Radford has I believe had his day. It's time to say thank you for all you've done but goodbye.

cant beat all the juicy rumours after a good beating

For God's sake stop digging.

Digging at what?

Nobody concedes 63 at home playing well but Warrington were outstanding and the idea that their win had nothing whatsoever to do with talent..........well I can only think that your disappointment is clouding your judgement. Blake Austin put on a masterclass and every single Warrington player was at least 8/10. They were a joy to watch especially Austin.

He certainly was. Once he'd spotted the weakness in our left edge defence, he exposed it over and over again. Absolute class act.

Roy castle once broke a world record for tap dancing.
