There’s no doubt we were terrible today, and have been pretty poor all season, and for the past several seasons. I know this will be controversial on this forum, but the bottom line is that the problem isn’t mainly the coach - the players just aren’t good enough. Only one or two of current squad would have made the team during our golden period. Plenty of us will say that this team is largely recruited by RS, and that’s true. However, in a salary capped sport and when we’ve been so poor for so long, how can we expect to attract the best players? The bottom line is that we need top class young players to progress through the ranks just as they did in the early 2000s. Well then be able to attract decent and established players, just as during our Golden period. I think Ian Blease first priority should be sorting out the youth pipeline, not the coach.

We certainly need a new captain and loose forward , sadly, I don't think Cam Smith is worth a place in the team unless its about 6th replacement prop.

I know you are all disillusioned , but, Leeds is still the elite job in English RL, we like to think we (Hull) are a big draw, but Leeds , along with Wigan, are the two top jobs and, perceived by others, two best resourced clubs in the English game. If a coach is available, and you want him, you'll get him, unless that person is a bottler.

Spot on OWL.. won;t let me reply to your post (this site is getting worse)...

It’s seems to have gone quiet on the new coach front I personally would have thought they would have had someone in place by now

Brad Arthur confirmed for the rest of the season
