A season of change for Hull FC. Post-lockdown saw Lee Radford’s six years in charge come to an end. A record of three wins and three losses saw Lee Radford sacked.
It was an embarrassing 38-4 home defeat to Warrington Wolves which saw Hull FC owner Adam Pearson announce live on Sky Sports that Lee Radford was no longer the man to take the team forward.
Andy Last the assistant coach took charge for the remainder of the season. He had the worst possible start with his side suffering a 54-18 defat to Salford Red Devils.
FC’s results after the lockdown were very inconsistent but it was their final three games of the season which booked them a spot in the Super League Play-offs. Wins against Huddersfield and Castleford before a derby day win on the final day of the regular season against City rivals Hull KR confirmed their spot.
Super League announced the Grand Final would be played at the KCOM Stadium in Hull at the home of Hull FC, news which would boost the black and whites with the hope of playing in a home Grand Final.
In the opening weekend of the Play-offs Hull travelled to the Halliwell Jones stadium to face Warrington Wolves a side that have never won Super League. That wasn’t going to change this year with FC pulling out their best performance of the season, knocking out Warrington at their own stadium and moving onto the Semi Finals to face Wigan Warriors at the DW stadium.
A week later a first Grand Final appearance since 2006 wasn’t to be with the black and whites coming up against a ruthless Wigan side powered by captain Sean O’Loughlin and 2019 Man of Steel Jackson Hastings ended the hope of a Grand Final appearance for Hull.
