Hull FC this week is a tough one to call. There performances by all accounts have been poor this season, we’re a new team and unpredictable but I would be disappointed if we don’t either a) push them close or b) come away with a narrow victor

Who's account is that?
First five games we were very good. Excellent in attack and defence improved with each game. Sunday against Widnes was the only game we have been exceptionally poor in attack but still solid enough in defence to only allow one try off the back of our knock on. We had to promote back rowers to prop. We have now had one of those players banned!
Think either we will win a close game on Friday or we'll get hammered. I can't see us losing by only 1 score.

John we took a fair few that year it snowed. Last year not many due to it being on the tele.

If people can't see that Salford are progressing from where they were last season and rebuilding from the brink of going completely t*ts up, then I really do despair. Mind you, I suppose a lot of people don't want Salford or Koukash to succeed.

I'm confused. I don't understand why we have to "do things the right way" with the team and slowly build over a few years, but get 10k attendances overnight. Mixed messages here.

You're telling me. Mid-table mediocrity in front of full houses, that's what's needed in order for us to be doing things properly.

The account of the majority of Hull fans their board. Some are even calling for Radford's head already. Havent Hull only beaten Bradford and Catalan? Both clubs have made bad starts to the season. From what I can gather the major issue is in the spine of the team from 1, 6, 7 and 9. Have Rankin and Miller not looked good together?

Friday's game will be a tough one to call, with both teams as unpredictable at the minute as each other.

PS - Marwan Koukash is on Super League Superstars this week.

They haven't played together, in fact Miller hasn't played a game all season, Radford choosing to play the previous unsuccessful partnership of Horne and Heremia.

I think you will win on Friday and we will win the cup game, as we have some bodies back, both I'd expect to be close and wouldn't be surprised by any win/lose combination for these upcoming games.

your half right there mate. i don't think any one would begrudge salford some success after all they've gone through, its koucash thats the problem. neutral fans don't want him to succeed because he seems to thinks with his money he can just change any rule he dosn't like. i know its hard for reds fans to understand this but believe me if your on the outside looking and listening to him thats exactly how it seems. good luck anyway.

Almost completely incorrect.

The majority of Hull fans were reasonably happy with performances up until Cas, and only really hacked off with the shambles against Widnes at the weekend. There's one thread talking about a new coach but it's just the usual suspects and people who never wanted Radford in the first place.

That said, if we play anything like we did on Sunday you'll walk it.
