My money's on Catalans this weekend.................. just like Longy and Gleesons

What hypocrites.

Dont really understand where Hull are coming from,Didnt they get shut of Jordon Tansey for his lets say off the field problems???Frying pan and fire spring to mind.

It's all a bit fishy for sure.


























I'll get me coat...

From a man of your standard and background, shameful

Why? He has broke no disciplinary rules of Hull FC.

Good stuff for us!

Sorry. I should have said I'd get my yellow fisherman's cagoule, really, if I'd been paying attention.

Not for Hull, no, but you sack a player with a disclipine problem and employ somebody with a number of disclipinary problems. Bizzare.

suppose it depends on talent.

However, Hull will always be small time until they stop being a get out clause for washed up nobodies

Wrong. We sacked Tansey for breaking our disciplinary 3 times in 12 months. Gleeson hasn't, good signing.

The thing is with Gleeson is he has broke the rules at the three big clubs he has played for!!!

He may change now he has taken a massive backward step..

Hull, handy for Amsterdam

I thought Salford was that club.

No doubt Gleeson is a talented player but whether he is the type of signing that is right for Hull at present I'm not sure.

The Hull squad is not short of talent: Yeaman, O'Meley, Fitzgibbon, Horne, Long, Tickle, Westerman, etc but looking from the outside in there is something missing to make it click. I'd look at Warrington a couple of years back and there are similarities with the current Hull team - under achieving.

Three major changes Warrington made that would seem to have been catalysts in the culture change at the club (and I concede that number 1 is the key change):

1. Tony Smith took over;
2. Within a couple of weeks Gleeson was gone; and
3. Richie Mathers joined the club.

I said when he was available that I thought Hull should have gone for Mathers (the Costa Club doesn't seem to have done Castleford any harm as a team/squad) and there is no doubt that it appears you need a change of coach yet Hull has gone out and reversed number 2.

The thought of Long and Gleeson pairing up together away from their domestic base should send shivers done the spine of any right-minded Hull fan; add in Tickle and Westerman and it seems a disaster waiting to happen.
