| Quote ="Mr. Zucchini Head"Kearney didn't do well with Parramatta, but then their squad was dreadful. At least with him he would instil some pride and passion and would do it without shouting at players or sending them to Doncaster for being naughty.
I also think he would come if we offered him the right money. He has been in the New Zealand set up for long time now, afaik he enjoyed his time here, and is mates with Motu.
If he is allowed to bring in the back room staff he wants then it could be successful imo.'"
Kearney may have struggled at Parammata but he is a World Cup winning coach and is the biggest name we could realistically hope to attract. He is also very much respected off the field.
failing that I still think Noble would at least steady the ship and move us forwards, and he has a massive point to prove after being (unfairly in my opinion) dumped by Salford.

The problem is as a club weve got an awful name and are a potential graveyard for both coaches and players so getting another aussie to uproot his family when he could be sacked after a year is going to be difficult. The ship needs steadying and players need to get back to some proper structures and confidence need rebuilding and i seriously think Noble is the man for that. Get rid of Motu and all the other coaches too though and give Noble Carte Blanch

| I see he was blaming the players again last night. We haven't got a bad squad and a half decent coach could get more out of them than Radford has.

I agree on your assessment of Noble along with UllFC's comments. Noble would steady the ship and I think he's got a point to prove. I agree about getting rid of the coaches but I've not seen enough of Motu's influence yet to know if it's good or bad.

again, I ask, a pro RL player, who, conservatively, earned £60k a year for 8 years, and then needs a hand-out for a meaningless degree from a meaningless university....?!
Motu was a good player, he is not a CEO

indeed he did, I want an honest HullFC, even if that is in the lower leagues, am tired of spin and bull54it, we are NOT a top side, and whilst (B)Radford is anywhere near the club we never will be.
I honestly thought AP would be a great owner, he's not, has no vision or ambition, yeah, he's got a few ££££££'s, and good on him, but he is killing our club and many people's passions for the game.

never thought I would think someone was worse than Kath and Co, and I had every faith in AP, but we are a total shambles, we may have invested off the field, and we may be throwing good money after bad for Pryce et al, but we unadulterated 541t under (B)Radford, nobody expected a win last night, but to be embarrassed, again, is just not good enough.

| So its not the players fault,they drop the ball,miss tackles and fall apart? I was there last night and make no mistake it was embarrassing to watch.IMO our problem is the pack.Paea has played probably two decent games all season,last night he made no headway at all no leg drive just run in to the opposition with very little aggression. Green another one makes no impact at all too lightweight,Bowden another one who has only had a couple of decent games.Blame radford all you like we just have not got the fire power up front only feka mad any attempt at aggression. It was clear to see the vast difference how the Wigan pack punched holes in our defence and kept our pack quite all night and not for the first time this season.how many games have our pack dominated? not many.Clearly these performances are not good enough but not all the blame can be laid at Radders door.I doubt if any coach in the game can turn this side round without some different personal up front .Anyone who has played the game knows the pack lay the platform and our backs have not had that luxury enough.It was said by many before a ball was kicked that our pack was not good enough.how many times this season has radders asked for more agression? either the players are not up to it or they dont want to do it for radders but whatever it needs sorting before next season

| So if Feka was our best forward and the others were ineffective why did Radford take so long to bring him on?

Because he would rather have a twenty year old hooker in the pack or at loose forward instead! That summed radford up last nite, clueless

Best part of 50 mins before the clown brought him on and showed more passion in the 1st 10 mins he was on than most of the pack did in the 1st 50.Great thinking to give logan a debut in 1 of the most difficult games in the calendar,so much for radford saying he would walk,he is so out of his depth its unreal,pearsons as much at fault as well.
In the 1980's we had leuluai,ah khoi,o'hara,sterling,kemble,muggleton all from overseas and all played with pride and passion,so who cares where they come from if they play with pride and passion for the club.

Thanks for explaining how the game works to us.
Collectively I do not think our team performances actually reflect the ability we have in our team.
We have so many players this season just going through the motions or regressing.
Its no coincidence that this loss of form has been increasing as the season has gone on.
Radford has been for me the catalyst for all of this.
He is severely lacking in man management skills and in head coaching ability.
To remove him would release the players from this turmoil and we would see a new team and ethos.

| just heard our 19's got thrashed 38-0 by Wigan.
This is with a talented HB HarryTyson-Wilson, but still.. we cant score.
This is massive worry.Until we have all 3 grades playing with same structure.things will not change,this indicates there is no attack structure throughout the club, the whole coaching staff are to blame.

| Comparisons with previous regimes unfair, generally they had extremely tight purse strings.
This Clown operates at FULL salary cap & has a backer prepared to pay players off, swap the squad every 5 minuters, bring in stop gap players.....................
Really feel for AP, don't see how he could do more, other than recognise that Lee was a HUGE mistake.
