Better than Thompson who has gone backwards and Hadley.......Tuson is a good foils for Ellis and does a ton of work but let's not stop him from being the 2014 scapegoat...also hope he is ok after what looked a bad injury

why was Abdull taken off, anybody know??

So everyone is a scapegoat if we dont rate them ? Rather have Hadley in tbh

Seems it........Hadley has a HU postcode so that helps.....Kent was a better player and I'd have Green in 2nd row

anyone else think if bulls get points back and get a roll on like wakey have. we could still not be safe.?

Tuson started the year running some good lines and looked good. What's happened since then I don't know. He was anonymous last night at best and spent too much time standing on the short side when the ball was going the other way. His tackling was ineffectual and with the ball in hand he just got thrown back in the tackle. We need a big nasty rough@rsed second row and I'd push Ellis up to prop and look to replace Tuson if we could find one.

You honestly just said Kent was/is a better player than Hadley?

Hayley's nothing great but Kent was crap and I could be biased to him as I know him.

That result doesn't equal the end of our playoff chances. In fact if I had to put money on who will take 8th spot I would still back us.

However I'm getting to the point where I'm not really bothered if we make them or not, because we are not capable of leaving a mark on them anyway. We are not going down regardless of whether Bradford get points back or not (they won't btw) so if it was down to me I would be continuing to blood youngsters and working on some systems for next year. If we finish in the 8 then it's a bonus, but if we end up 12th then so be it.

Fwiw I think we have taken some baby steps forward in recent weeks. If we can continue to show progress until the end of the season and maybe claim a couple of scalps then I'm not too bothered where we finish.

Dead Leg

The RFL is going backwards with promotion and relegation, some clubs will become yo yo teams other will bankrupt themselves chasing a dream that will turn into a nightmare. We have all the promotion helps the game, for the majority of the games history we have not had and the AUSSIES NEVER HAVE. I feel we will have to move to a more concentrated area for teams , very few teams make or even break even that is clearly madness. If that mean amalgamations then so be it because we can no longer support the teams we have, doing nothing will soon not be an option. The game is dying form the grass roots up, we are losing teams at every level in every area the team is played Hull is no exception. Radical has to be the way forward as RU is about to hack us to bits they see our weakness and are exploiting it in our own back yard.

The sky money will be used up supporting failing clubs and failing systems of operation that are no longer fit for purpose, the disciplinary system is clearly failing with inconsistency become very apparent. The referees are under pressure as they always have been, the present mob are without doubt the least experienced and fail to use there assistants at every opportunity. Last night I saw two glaring examples of bad reffing because if he did not see it he had no right to ref an u15 game. I am not blaming that for the loss I am blaming that for the fact that so many are no chuffed off with the games poor standards they are no longer following it. The attendances are not as good as they once where and are on a 1980s downturn because the product is getting poorer week on week.

Where did I blame the RFL or anyone other then FC for the poor performances ?

I thought Wire where poor last night and made FC look half decent, which they are not my problem with last night was the official(s) conspired to ruin a sporting event by design or by incompetence and its happening too many times for me now.

Tuson is pants.has broken the line once at Widnes since he arrived and dropped the ball over the line on 3 occasions I can remember.
Seems to miss tackles regularly too.
I don't think we need another outside back.A big fast no nonsense second row is a priority or whilst we are now blooding younger players, play Green in the second row.
I don't think Radford is the coach to take us forward.Plenty of effort but little else.
I just hope he doesn't ruin our flair players like Ben Crooks.

Blah blah blah blah blah...Radford is crap...blah blah blah blah

Another club bashing post, what a surprise.

Tuson has made twelve tackles busts this season, by the way.

A player has a poor game and all of a sudden he's the reason we're shiit

Yeah that last "play" was disgraceful really. Really dumb

His pie was ready


(I like him by the way)

With Salford and Wakefield getting unexpected wins this weekend 12th spot isn't out of question! especially with all but 3 of our final games coming against the top 8.

Great post Ian. No problem with amalgamation if needs must, it seems a decent solution for many clubs tho' can you seriosly foresee the average RL fan with his or her principles & pride ever allowing this to become reality ? It was bad enough when many Hull FC fans were seriously miffed about a simple name-change for example ! Finance or lack of it is the cornerstone of modern professional sport but maybe many of us the fans believe money really does grow on trees ?

Well if you are so sure tell us all what matches apart from Widnes did Tuson make a break

A pleasure.

Bradford home (5), Widnes home (1), Huddersfield home (1), Wakefield home (2), London away (1), Widnes away (2).

You can admit that you were hopelessly wrong now.

For those who don't like to see criticism of the club then I suggest you look at the League table,and it looks like we will be overtaken by both Wakefield and Salford as both clubs have hit a bit of form.
If that's good enough for you its certainly not for me.
Any other coach with Hulls results would have been sacked by now but Pearson has supported Radford and now backed himself into a corner.

But Tuson has broken more than one tackle, though?

If you read my post I said breaks.The only clean break I have seen from Tuson was at Widnes but thanks for the link as that shows clean breaks 2 so I missed 1.
Big difference between a break what I am talking about and Tackle bust which is what you are talking about.
He is still pants in my opinion.Remember the only other club wanting to sign him was Wakefield.

Clean breaks rather than tackle busts?

Tuson has made two, but only eight Hull players have made more than five and of course Tuson has missed 40% of the season.

Oh by the way you are wrong again. Wakefield were not the only other club to want him. Wigan offered him a two year deal.

So what are you going to do about it?
