| Quote Jake the Peg="Jake the Peg"Everyone agrees that the club needs a change in culture amongst other more tangible things and it's disappointing that after almost 3 years under pearson we're not further on than we'd like. Where some seem to disagree is who is the best man (coach) to help implement these changes. Some say radford, some not. My take on it is that radford may well be the man but entrusting him with it is a major risk and one I don't think the club can afford to take. He may turn out to be a great coach but at this stage his abilities are unknown. Would you trust a major change project within your organisation to someone with no experience or would you bring in someone with a proven track record? Entrusting it to a first time coach with barely any time as an understudy is asking for trouble. I hope pearson wises up quickly and brings in someone with a proven track record. I don't mind if radford stays to learn from him but unless pearson want to be looking at financial meltdown then he needs to act'"
I can fully understand that point of view. But if not Radford, who?

That's not my choice to make. if it were then I'd weigh up the likely cost of someone I could almost certainly trust to do it against the likely cost of radford not doing it then I'd go out and get the best person I could within that budget. Likely be an ozzie and likely cost a wedge but the cost in real terms would be less than I'd lose if radford does't work which could see every penny pearson has spent to date and much more go down the pan.
What makes you so sure radford is the man to trust the future of the club with?

Is this something you ask everyone who disagrees with you?
I'm not sure what makes you think he is at the same level or even improved since his last spell in RL.

Can't be any worse than Sam Moa in your opinion, surely!

Surley it's a good question, not worried about your opinion, we could sign Thurston and you would put a negative spin on it, your constant drivel on here about anything Hull FC is pathetic.
The funniest thing is the fact you support a team that has won nothing major for nearly 30 years, in fact when was the last time you made a major final? The way you go on about us, you would think you supported the worlds greatest team.
It's good that you are sticking up for Standee, you have about the same rugby knowledge.

Did ok in SL, not a stand out prop by the way, done very well at the Chucks.

Why don't you dig up my comments on Paea or Carvell? At least get it right!
Not at all but I know where our club is, I don't live in dream land like the majority on here who think your a big club and have the right to beat any team in SL!

Ok then, what's your opinion of Sa, do you think he is a good signing for Hull at centre?

I'm not, I'm just sick of the endless cycle of failure. I think Radford could be that man as he fits the profile of what AP wants. He's determined, focused, identifies with the club and has been successful as a player. It's also important that Radford knows exactly where the problems lie in our club, he's been very public in stating it. He's also an honest guy, and I think if he thought he couldn't do the job he'd be honest enough to admit it.
I think AP is very clear in what he wants, if he thought it was going wrong he'd change it before it gets too far.
We have to trust somebody some day, I think i'd rather it was somebody who was a fan like me.

I don't know, I asked what made you think his game could have improved? He was good at Catalan but has since been playing in an inferior game to RL, with inferior training and playing with inferior players. Not sure about his injury record but some have mentioned it ain't great. Get the player he was at Catalan and he will be a decent signing.

So at best it will be a DECENT signing ?

That's what everyone including me have been saying, if he can find his RL form when he was at Catalans he will be a good signing, his lack of game time and injury record could be issue.
Why mentioning him improving, nobody has said he is a better player than he was or is anything better than a good signing. Not sure about your inferior comments, RU is very professional now, some more than league, it isn't the 80s anymore.
I'm sure the same could have been said about Feka, but he is proving most people including me wrong, certainly better than Carvell and Paea.
