I hadn't really picked up anyone saying that to be honest. Just people bemoaning our current kicking game (which must be about the worst in the league) and saying how it was better when Holdsworth played. |

| Quote: Doc Brown "Like others have said, if you replace a coach then you need to replace him with someone better. Is Radford better than Gentle? At the moment you'd have to say no.
I don't really buy into this "wait till he's got his own team" approach. Gentle's first season was with Agar's team and we finished sixth. In fact, along with Hudds, we were the leagues in form team to begin with. I remember when we won the Good Friday derby that year that we were all singing about being top of the league.
Also
Darryl powell seems to be doing ok with the team he inherited minus chase.

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man

Looks like we were correct with a smaller squad with quality over quantity
www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull-FC- ... story.html
A new experienced half-back is likely to arrive, with former Hull KR scrum-half Michael Dobson and New Zealand Warriors' Thomas Leuluai among those believed to have been approached.
While Dobson looks set to return to Super League but across the Pennines, it's still a statement of intent from FC and an indication of the type of quality they are pursuing.
"Sa's signing is the way we want to go forward as a club," explained Radford.
"We are looking at players that have a bit of X-factor and then combine that with a group of players from Hull.

| No arguments from me that we need more quality. The key will be to get the right squad balance and not leave ourselves too short in the quantity department. Lets face it, at FC the next injury crisis is always just around the corner  .
The halfback situation will be interesting. As the article says, Dobson and Leuluai shows the type of quality we're aiming for. But will we be able to sign either of them? Lets hope the club is looking further afield in case the answer is no and doesn't end up in a situation where they panic buy. |

quality over quantity is great, but all the other teams are after those same quality players too, and we all know that not many of them become available because of the fact they are quality.

Wouldn't take much to be fair. He'd take a big slice of salary cap and wouldn't address 2 fundamental issues which we've had for the most part since 2007. He'd be heralded as the club saviour but wouldn't be IMO |

sounds like a signing going by his surname and family connections with the club, trying to attract some fans back rather than an organising half we need
again if he signs, hope i am wrong, great hooker though! |

Maybe he's just the best we can get in which case it's worth a try |
