AN angry Lee Radford has again questioned the enthusiasm of his Hull FC team after witnessing what he described as a capitulation against Wakefield.
The Wildcats ran in four quick-fire second-half tries, scoring 23 unanswered points in a 23-16 victory which snapped their six-game losing streak.
The performance and a third home defeat of the season left Radford seething and feeling for owner Adam Pearson.
"The irony is a spectator got up after the game and gave Adam Pearson a finger as he's going, saying he'll not come and watch again. It has cost Adam £1m for this organisation. You'd think £1m would buy you some enthusiasm," said Radford.
"We capitulated and we were out-enthused. They got a sniff and they out-enthused us.
"It was like watching paint dry and it was a boring game with no intensity. They did a good job in taking the intensity out of the game.
"I am angry with myself because I don't know what the answer is. I could have gone blazing in at the players, but decided not to. But you'd think the money invested would buy you some enthusiasm.
"Credit to Richard Agar because he's got a bunch of blokes on the cheap, patched them together and they've come to play us and out-enthused us in every department."
The defeat leaves Hull seventh in the Super League table, but with champions Wigan to play next on Friday evening.
Hull will go into that game missing their player of the season so far after Joe Westerman fractured his wrist in a collision with an advertising hoarding in the first half.
Westerman will undergo scans today but is understood to have fractured his wrist in two places and is facing two months on the sidelines.
Hull will also be without former Wigan player Chris Tuson for what is now a crunch game, after he suffered a repeat of his hamstring injury.
