Left Hull by mutual consent.

had to cancel the academy game on friday night as well

Probably our best result of the season, had we won, Hodgson would have stayed and we would have had a similar season to this one (although our recruitment so far has been encouraging).

Quite a lot of problems, one of me is mentality weak, get a couple of scores down and heads go, thus the big blow out scores.

We also look unfit, which is why the conditioner has also gone.

No leaders, which goes to point one, not sure this has been addressed yet.

Terrible pivots (which should improve with us signing 3 new pivots)

I've said this for aaaaages, with the exception of sneyd, maybe pryce your 6's and 7's have been proper rough for many many years

plus this obsession with danny houghton, yes he tackles, but doesn't bring anything else to your team imo.

you should have got rid of him at the end of 2015, (so he wasn't playing in the 2016 challenge cup final)

Kelly was fantastic, but yes I agree, we took it to new levels this year with Reynolds and Gale though.

It was never going to work for Hodgson at Hull, it was always an odd appointment. It's further proof that you need more in coaching than being a clever player. He never seemed the personality to get the culture right either, he doesn't seem the kind of coach who'd maintain the attention of a very unprofessional group of players. Someone like Woolf or Shaun Wane would be ideal for Hull. They'd cut the nonsense out and get them playing to their potential. Tony Smith is an excellent coach, but it's another risky one as the crowd will presumably turn way quicker with him than anyone else because of his KR history. Pearson doesn't seem the type to let him get on with making the changes he needs to either and you get the feeling Hull are stoney broke, far more than they actually let on as well. It's a similar job to Powell's at Warrington, but without the unlimited resources.
