[Old Frightful]

Nick Pinkney, commentating for Radio Blunderside, just asked "Why is Mose Masoe so wide?"

Surely that's obvious?

You certainly don't see many in your 1st team.

I know, something I got slagged off about on the RL fans board when I said how poor Radford and his coaching team have been developing our youngsters.

Looking at next years XIII/XVII it's the worst its been for years. Shaul, Houghton in the XIII, the strongest XVII maybe adds one of Bowden/Fash/Matongo but only one MIGHT get a XVII jersey. And yet some of our fans keep saying Radford is great at bringing through our youngsters when it's patently not true.

I'll say it again here, there is not a single player to debut under Radford from our academy in the last 6 years who is first XVII, I pretty much got banned for arguing over how poor Radford was and pulling up a certain poster who would give up on the team after a few minutes of a game we went behind and then slag off/belittle other posters who dare to criticise performances/coach in the next breath.

The state of affairs and the way things have gone the last few seasons even when we won the cup have eroded my support.

[Old Frightful]

Over 8,000 in the ground.

[GeordieSaint]

Still 10-20?

[Trinity]

Yes.

And look at where your joint academy is in the table 

[Old Frightful]

17 mins left and Wakey get a penalty which Brough dispatches to the Revers' 20m line.

Bill Toupou over.

10-24.

 

[Old Frightful]

Obviously never seen him in the hot dog queue at Cott Tigers.

I honestly hadn't bothered until just now, sad state of affairs, but to some everything is hunky dory and having faith in the gap toothed wonder is the order of things. We've thrown a LOT of cash and salary at next years squad but it means we have fewer home grown players, skinnier squad, and fewer experienced back up squad players. If we get the standard amount of injuries we are FUBAR'd.

The team assembled reeks of quality in the XVII BUT the coach is the weak link by far, IF e pull out a grand final appearance I'd be shocked, it'll be despite Radford not because of him because he himself states he has no control over how the team plays.

[Old Frightful]

Still 10-30, Brough missed the conversion.

About 10 mins left.

[Trinity]

So needed this today. We'll done boys.

Is that that Miller who someone up-thread said he was dog ######?

[Old Frightful]

Points difference between London and Hull KR is currently +26 to Hull KR's advantage.

[Old Frightful]

Ryan Hampshire over in the corner.

10-34.

Make that +22

[Wellsy4HullFC]

In the meantime, Huddersfield are also starting to let a few in.

Puts them 76 points away from London.

Your point on Radford may or may not be correct but the point remains that the Hull clubs (particularly KR) have been pay lip service to junior development for years and the decline in the game in Hull is symptomatic of that

[Old Frightful]

Brough drop goal attempt hits the post, could be crucial.

Maguire knocks on over the line.

[Old Frightful]

Hampshire's second.

10-38.
