Re: On to Hull

FWIW - Hull fan in peace... It felt weird at Cas on Sunday, pretty much like we felt during the latter days of Kath Hetherington's tenure, with Agar as our coach. No lack of effort, by your team, but that wasn't a "real" Cas team we beat, it was a game that showed the general malaise that ...

Re: Bans

I watched the Rovers game, thought that penalty against Faraimo was soft at the time but to cop a two match ban? Really? The game is now a sanitised version of the sport I used to love, watching players with guile open up teams with a side step or a dummy, now its just big athletes running at big at...

Re: Opinion On Radford

Lee bases his game on power and kicks ala Bradford 2000's style, it worked for us at certain times and not when playing against the teams best able to combat that style. In truth, most of us at Hull felt he needed to go 18 months earlier than he did. We had no real consistency and the gap between ou...

Re: Fonua

Funny people mention Sneyd, because I heard a little whisper, Sneyd back to Cas with Gale going to Hull.... I'd be gutted to lose Sneyd, personally. When his pack are dominant, or at least evens with the opposition 6, he's quality, but I dont know a scrum half in world rugby who'd shine behind a bea...

Re: Fonua

If this move reignites Mahe, then you have signed a player that has the X factor , no doubt. I think something behind the scenes may have been the reason for his poor form, he is, when on it, a player that can produce things no one else can in SL.. I wish him well, for the memories we have of him at...

Re: Joe westerman

As a Hull fan, I was gutted that we didn't keep Joe Westerman on after his resigning from the Toronto debacle. He gives as much power as a front rower, with sublime handling skills at times, his goal kicking isn't shabby and he definitely seemed to be a more focussed player than the young man we sig...

Re: Ten team super league

I would have thought Cas would be a shoe in for the upper tier. Ideally placed on the M62 corridor of the heartlands of Rugby League, a well run club with a rich history and regular, consistent high league placings. If they want a new look game, they should also help develop and possibly fast track ...

Re: Radford

There’s been a photo put on Instagram of radford and watts laughing together. The sceptic in me says it looked staged. But that’s me. Sorry I have not yet mastered the ways of forum replies. In truth what I was told ,reliably, Watts left after a festering row with Scott Taylor developed that began d...

Re: Radford

As a Hull fan I like Lee Radford and he is an excellent coach. What really did for him at Hull were the cliques that that his squad had developed, it was often referred to as "Club Hull" and was centred around local Hull born players, who could seemingly, do no wrong in the eyes of the coa...

Re: The Trueman Show...

I am a genuine Rugby fan from Hull, but I always follow Cas, so please don't think I am a troll. Trueman is superb; a real talent and one of those players who instinctively knows how to play. Yesterday, his short kicking and general play near the Warrington line was a masterclass. I really hope he s...
