Because of the way "Bomber" has spouted his big gob off, and also AP about signings/clearing dead wood etc.

The rot started ever since we knew Manu and Turner was going around the Leeds game, ever since it's been nothing but "we are looking for these players, this player, we want to do this... that..".

Think about it, if you worked for a massive company, and your boss said, i'm looking to replace you at the end of the season, would your heart still be in it?

As much as I would try, mine certainly would not.

We never got anything from the old board in terms of news/updates, but this board and bomber are too public!

That's what I think anyhow.

I also think, we don't need bomber, a pointless role, I don't know why we have it, i'm sure our club like to complicate things, it's a role not needed "head of operations", waste of a wage, bomber is a cr4p coach, gentle should be able to go right to the board/ap not through BOMBER as the middle man, just complicates things surely??

Yes, because he was back at the club??

No where did I say "oh great bomber is back, that's great, we are going to be untouchable".

Time of the month again? Over-used phrase.

I'm assuming you are about 12 years old Lewis judging by your previous posts.

You are an example of how the club can't win, the amount of knee jerk reactions you have to negative events.

Previously a lot of fans have been critical for the lack of information coming out of the club, its clear they have looked at the playing staff and realised they need to have a radical overhaul, I don't remember Bomber saying anyone is crap and they are leaving, more talking about who is coming in,to me thats an incentive for existing players to try harder and earn their place. Its unfortunate that Manu and Turner chose to go so early in the season but I think that would have happened regardless of who was in charge, ideally especially Turner would have been dropped after leaving but injuries have not allowed that.

While I am sure I won't agree with everything the current regime does, I understand why some things have to happen and they want to win so i am going to be patient and trust that they know what they are doing, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand Workin' in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made black and white What's down in the dark will be brought to the light:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_67329.jpg



Watching wigan,leeds and giants n wire(now) its clear that we lack pace , a kicking play maker ie brough, briers,sinfield n finch
A stand off and a loose forward that can unlock a defence, a hooker that is quick and knows were the try line is , time will tell with heremia but all though houghtons work rate is tremendous I dont rate him in an attacking capacity . We are lacking big time in the full back area for obvious reasons

So in short were way behind the big teams in pace , pivots and a player maker

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club. Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you. "Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby Union is a complex game played by wankers." L.Daley 2005:

So Dobbo reckons Bomber's role is pointless. As far as I am aware, he is there to act as both a spokesperson for the club and to source new players and negotiate the best deal.
Certainly at the beginning of the season PG was very uncomfortable dealing with the press, although perhaps he's getting used to it now. AP, for all his dealings in soccer, does not have that experience or in depth knowledge of rugby league. I suspect those are some of the reasons for Bomber being in-situ. In due course, maybe his role will become defunct, but to blame Bomber for the fact we are playing poor is ridiculous.

I think the only player who might take a bit of offence is Horne as the club have been vocal about getting a new halfback. He may not be the player he was but I have seen no drop in his attitude or work ethic on the pitch recently.

I think we started to sort out the team/players futures too early, and this has led to a disjointed season. However I feel this is a problem that is affecting RL generally not just HullFC. Each week you are distracted from the rugby by rumours and gossip of who is going where, and therefore the mentality is always 'wait til next year'

As for McRae, he was brought in because Pearson knows little about RL, and Gentle isn't the most outgoing with the press. I feel he does a good job for the club and don't understand the constant sniping at him from the fans...to me he has always treated the Hull fans with respect. I do however think his role will become redundant over time, but we are at least a good year or two away from that point.

I agree that Horne has continued his good work-rate and effort despite the club constantly saying they want a new half-back and/or full-back, which effectively puts him out of the first-team and reduces his role to a squad player.

It is a credit to him that he just ignores all this and gets on with his job, some of the other players seem to forget that they are paid very well to play RL and pay too much attention to gossip and speculation.

Strange how some were agreeing with this point of view when it was brought up a while back, nothing to do with who the OP is, I'm sure.

With regard to Mr McRae, what is his role at the club? icon_confused.gif:

Quote: meatpaste "With regard to Mr McRae, what is his role at the club?
Director Of Rugby, so handles the players contracts and negotiates the transfers/contracts of new players (players are identified by Gentle, who has the final say in who we sign) McRae also looks after the off-field contracts such as the non-playing staff, the choice of training ground etc and also does a lot of the clubs media work (you can't get him away from the SKY cameras!)
