I'd happily pay extra for my 2015 season pass to fund Smith's wages! quality coach with a proven record.

Would exactly,galvanise the whole fan base, but question is.

Would Pearson abandon his policy of 'Club Hull'??

Wouldn't want Tony Smith. The guy is a .

Out of contract 2015.

Just because he is your friend doesn't mean he wont do a good job for us

What does our coaching set up look like compared to leeds and wigan numbers wise? Are radford and last the only full time coaches? Neither have any experience of coaching at first team level. Pretty sure I saw Col Stephenson doing the warm up at a match recently

he does it regularly!

Good bloke is Col but surely we should have some full time member of staff doing something as improtant?

I was sure I heard his name called out as one of the subs..(cos then we'd have had 5)
okay..I'll backtrack..I was completely wrong on that..Tuson was still underused and we really needed Carvs or Watts in there in any case.

Exactly

I can't see us beating Wigan, we will lose to KR at Magic and Leeds will pulverise us the following week. We should beat London and will lose in France. We have a chance of winning at Widnes and Wakey. At the most we will get 6 points out of a possible 14 and will be on 16 out of 36 for the season. I suspect by the time of our next home game against Wire on 4 July the walk up support will have evaporated and quite a few passholders won't bother either. As soon as it starts hitting Pearson in his pocket I think he will act.

If Radford can do better than this in the next 7 games then he is a better coach than I believe him to be.

I'd rather have a top class coach than a top class 7 in all honesty.

Lets get real here. we lay in 7th place, which looking at the teams above us, is about where we deserve to be. Maybe even a place or so down in 9th or 10th.
Those teams above us are better sides then we are, so deserve to be above us.

The "Culture" people keep referring to is more with the fans I think. A lot still believe we are a top 4 side(or should be challenging that). Obviously we'd like to be, but we are a long way from that. We need to realise we are a top 8 team. Make the 8 and do whatever we can in play-offs. Now don't get me wrong, for me, the club and supporters, that is not good enough obviously, but that is what we are, a top 8 club.

To finish 6th would be an achievement I believe, because we are just not that good.

To change our fortunes, we need to get a top class coach, not a 2nd in command and put him in charge. Allow him to build his side, give him time to build his structure etc.

For too many seasons we have had new coach, shipped 8-10 players out and brought 8-10 new players in, only giving them a season and a bit to get it right then same happens again. We need to stop chopping and changing ever season, get a long term plan get it started and stick with it! Look a Leeds for example, may be 1 out 2 in if you're lucky, every season.

There is no quick fixes in a sport like this. So we need to either sack Radders and find someone qualified for the job or stick with him and give him time.
(although after his admission of not knowing how to fix things and blkaming the fans, I go with the first option.)

Rant Over

you have just summed it up, acceptance of mediocrity and no ambition.
