We don't need major changes to the squad. We need a scrum half, a big prop, and maybe a centre.

People are overreacting.

After PG dropped Seymour (wrongly imo) after the first game of the season I did forewarn we would be up creek without a paddle if anything happened to DJ.

We are paddleless!

We played 'wet weather rugby' for about 70 mins


Must admit I thought Whiting made the difference for you in the 2nd half, really gave your team a shot in the arm, seems to always do well against us.

what im saying is next year we will see alot of major changes to the 17 the likes of tickle briscoe omeley seymour galea and any other player we have ooc or were getting rid of will need replacing with quality to make us better then we are!!
yes the younger lads will be in 17 more next year green bowden kent etc
but they are still young lads and not ready to replace the players leaving yet IMO
we need a class 7 thats the 1st thing we need
a top centre
a massive prop and maybe another prop aswel
and we will need a couple more squad players to provide good cover for injuries
that for me is major squad changes which will only mean they take time to gel again and its another transitional period

In his recent interview Pearson said there wouldn't be major changes to the squad next year.

There doesn't need to be major changes. Half back with Seymour's money (presuming he will be released), prop to replace ogre, 2nd row to replace Tickle/Galea. 3-4 signings max. We NEED consistency, which is why Gentle and AP have been giving longer contracts than we previously have been.

i know mate i just hope they get recruitment right for next season we need to fill a few gaps so they will have to be at least 4 new signings and by major i mean the quality we pick needs to be top 4 not peoples cast offs

Pearson has said a number of things that haven't quite worked out as he planned. His word isn't quite as gospel as some would BEL13VE!

I suppose the only comfort is that he made some mistakes early on at City (sacking Brian Little, spending loads of money on average players and hiring and firing Jan Molby) but then found the winning formula that got them 2 promotions. We can only wait and see if he can repeat that in RL.

Hull City were in the championship when Pearson was responsible for the Phil Parkinson debacle.

Fair point. Maybe I should say that no major changes in the squad were [iplanned[/i at the time he gave the interview.

And also when Phil Brown was brought in.

Good chance of snow/sleat for the derby!

You need to go back and read it again, because you seem to have read a completely different set of comments to the ones I read.

Honestly, how anyone can come out with nonsense like this beggars belief.
