The last time I remember really enjoying us play was the Mcrae era (mk1) - we was so well coached, had a great side, played great defensively and in attack. You'd go to watch them games feeling like we was almost invincible. Granted we only won the cc in 2005 but we was closer to being SL champions than the Radford side of a few years ago. Since then its been painful at the most and the play is dire compared to 15 years ago

Excepting the results what do you actually base that on. Genuine question! What do you see?

Before Brett Hodgson got the job, who were most Hull fans hoping to be their next coach ??
This is the kind of thing my club Leigh would do (with all due respect as we are usually in the championship) but give the head coach role to someone who has never done it before. Obviously when you put 60 past us at our place, you looked like a rather good side.

I would have liked McNamara, I think he would have come last season, but no chance now.

Alot of the successful coaches have been NRL assistant coaches, Holbrook, McGuire, Woolf.

But it's a gamble, I think he will stay, but I wouldn't be bothered if he went.

I'd really look to change the backroom staff, I'd bring in Lee Briers for one.

Big chances needed on and off the pitch, again.

On paper Hull are a top 6 side at the very least. I know it's a lopsided league table due to win percentages, but I'm amazed you won only 8 games out of 21.

Of their is any evidence of either him or Fonua doing anything wrong that we could cancel their contracts we should be doing it.

Those two off the cap and the extra two quota spots could make a massive difference to the squad.

I see nothing. The last couple of months have been dire and have steadily gotten worse. I have been really disappointed in his ability to address the current slide which has seen us lose to basically everyone in the last few weeks without any sign of improvement. He hasn't been able to galvanise the side or rally them into a response. I've seen no shoots of progress under him, the style of rugby is one dimensional in both attack and defence. His use of interchanges is appaling. He simply doesn't inspire confidence. Convince me otherwise.

I think for a lot of fans who have experienced a lot of coaches over the years feel that the fact that his comments on the attitude and feeling and indeed the wanting in the camp leading up to games bears no resemblance to what happens when the team actually takes to the field is a telling indication. Its acceptable occasionally of course it is, attitude is a difficult one to control but of late it has been a regular occurrence. talk like world beaters play like egg beaters.

Ian Watsons Huddersfield were meant to be dark horses this season but all we've heard from him is about how it takes time to put systems in place, it looks like FC are in the same boat, Huddersfield made plenty of changes for this season and look what it did for them.
Hodgsons problem is that he's got a very vocal boss that's probably putting more pressure on him with his comments.

Yes but there always has been and always will be more pressure on the coach at clubs like Hull FC, Leeds and Warrington compared to, say, Huddersfield, Hull KR and Castleford. Doesn't matter who the owner or coach is at any particular time.

There’s been a common theme at the club regarding culture, all the way back to when Bomber first called it out.

The promises of reviews and changes won’t wash anymore, as we’ve heard it countless times over the years.

I’m at the point that I’d rather be part time, in a league below, watching players put a shift in and enjoying watching rugby again.
