Apart from Burnett and Washbrook aren't good enough. We need better quality on the bench than these two. Having said that I'd be happy with the props if we play Whiting at 13.

We must be run by some of the thickest people on the planet, Horne is f'd anyway and yet we persist on a "clean up" operation, unless we're cleaning up his diabetes then it's a waste of time, Radford is out 6 months, great, and we gave him a 2 year deal.

Why do we give people a pen and paper when other clubs give them a "thanks, but not thanks".

Lets hope its the same ink Cooke used.

That is the problem, it wont be, in fact we'll find that the 2 somehow turns into a 4 or some other stupid twist, I've seen some stupid business decisions in my life, but his has to be a new low, even for FC.

A total and utter farce.

Not just this but am getting less optimistic by the day , no back up for the halfes yet , no back up hooker if berro stays at centre like he should do , a already small squad last season has got smaller with hall , cusack , calderwood? Leaving . Just fear be another season being happy with mid table and scrapping along because they might announce a big signing for 2012 .

Shhhhh, grade a license, shhhhhh

ps Dowes on a 10 year deal.....

Really is not looking good for next season already. I can only presume our coach thinks we have the squad to win things with what he already has and he will be hoping that Long & Horne stay injury free.
WHat worries me more is we must have known about the problems with Radders before we signed him for another couple of years, surely we are not daft enough to give players new contracts without doing similar checks to what we do with new signings??

Devastating news

Wow, Radfords out and now the world has ended. FFS, get real.

Not fussed about Radford, Like i said at the time i would have been happy to see him go. What does surprise me is that we signed him when we obviously knew about the problem, unlike other players this is not a routine clean out and when things are not simple complications can easily occur.

nothing suprises me with hull fc anymore, sad to say

Bloody ell, talk about glass half full on here. He's out and will miss a couple of matches at most. Rather now then later. Get a grip, ffs!

So we bin him because he's injured? Ffs!
He was injured playing for Hull Fc and probably aggrivated it playing through the pain barrier to help the teams cause.

I am not a Radford 'groupie' but I find it incredulous that because he's 'injured' people are wishing he'd never signed.

Losing Captain Fantastic for six months gives us the perfect opportunity to give yet another two year deal to yet another total pile of crap like Dowes !!!

I really can't wait for next season !! The battle for 8th spot with Cas and Celtic is going to be fantastic !!!

Yeh let's dismantle one of the strongest backrows in SL because we only have two decent props.



Let's just gives Dowes yet another deal ! Him and Radford will really tear up SL 2011 !!

You do realise that Fitz plays as extra prop don't you? If anything him starting as a prop will give the team more balance Imo.

And we would still need another quality prop. ( Please please not Dowes

)

Moving both Fitz AND Lauaki would leave us with no backrow and would be madness.

Who would play 13 though?

Washbrook of course !!

The props we had last year included Cusack; Fitz for Cusack = far better option.
The club have stated they're looking for another prop, why are people getting in such a panic?
The props last season were not to blame, as they were not to blame the season before. We lack/lacked direction not grafters.

IF! Dowes is the only option it's not the end of the world, after all there are worse props out there.

Don't start the whole "Washbrook/Whiting" debate again Mrs B.

Turner of course.

Now look what you've done Mrs B!

I can't think of many. Radford and Dowes in the same 17 next season would be incredibly underwhelming !



We should all brace ourselves for a mid-table nothingness season and a fight for 8th spot.
