Quote: Exiled down south "Its within our British nature to be nice. You only have to look at the annual sports awards; Frank Bruno, Phil Taylor etc
These are just sympathy votes for a team that has improved because no one else has dominated. The Hull coach was minutes from the door after Widnes for underachievement with a team which has spent 'Big'. They won the CC, a cup that there relegated neighbours reached the final off some 12 months earlier. Since then they have reached there level which is not club of the year nor coach of the year standard. Player of the year I have no issues with.'"
Define spent BIG.
Hull FC have halved their academy set up.
They spend to the full cap I suspect much the same as many other clubs.
They SOLD two players reaping close to a quarter of a million pounds. Yet the club that handed that cash over is not considered big spenders.
They have backroom team that I'm lead to believe was one of the smallest in SL. I could be wrong on that, but knowing their set up I doubt I am.
So I am intrigued to know what spending BIG is.
Their level I would say is a top 4 team challenging on all fronts. Certainly the fan base warrants that. So I guess you are right that they have reached THEIR level. From THERE it's a push for glory (which they came up just short of) or back down to the level of our neighbours and the majority of the European rugby league teams
