"Anyone got a 2-3 bed property in Leeds/Cas to rent for 6 months?"

The club not reacting better to the Trueman situation was a big factor in all the other dominoes falling IMO. It hampered us enough at the start of 23 even with someone of the quality Clifford in the half’s and senior performers like Swift and Satae on the field.

To sleep walk into the same situation again with Nu Brown more of a ball runner and replacing other experienced players with inexperienced players was a recipe for disaster.

I know it’s hindsight again but we did know from aug that our main playmaker was missing a huge chunk of the season if he returned at all. We’ve seen just how much someone like Reynolds has helped steady things with a bit of direction.

I think a top side , with a squad good enough to carry a luxury type signing, could have seen Pele go onto be the impact player we all hoped he would be for us. A lack of playmakers and a shambolic environment that he came in to would have hampered his development, especially given that fitness wasn't an area Smith concentrated on. I think he'll go great with Bradford, hopefully improve his fitness and then maybe get another crack at SL. Okunbor, if used on the wing with his proven record in that position, may get another club, but I don't think it'll be anyone in the tope end of SLt hat signs him; he may get a permanent deal with Bradford, subject to this loan period.

He wouldn't get into a top side, in his current state.

zon another note, think Walker is gone, not even made the 21 man squad, think he will go out on loan and won't be seen again.
Too good to be playing reserves.

Sometimes signings just don’t work and that was probably always going to be the case with Pele. He probably would have gone okay under a top set up where fitness and conditioning were of high importance and , as has been said, in a squad where he could develop into a good player . We just weren’t the right club for him and if anything , his fitness may have actually deteriorated under Tony itsnotmyfault Smith because as Clifford publicly stated preseason was “a piece of pi$$” at Hull. Just glad we have now appointed a seasoned coach , who has already laid down a marker with his comments on fitness. I dread to think what level Smith night have taken us to had he still been in charge .

Bit odd - a second filing of the annual return for 2012 (1st one after AP took over) is being submitted. Maybe an indication things are moving ownership/due diligence wise idk?

Internal appointment to replace Pete Riding as head of youth, Richard Tate

Highly rated and thought of Richard Tate was wanted by 3/4 clubs that's why Hull promoted him

Bit strange to do this 12 years after isn't it?

Bourouh announced. Happy with this signing, although I'm surprised at the length of the deal

Happy enough with the Borough signing, but apparently Rimbu is a done deal too.

Going by Grix’s backhanded compliments for Balmforth, I’d say this is the writing on the wall for him. Hope I’m wrong and we sign him, he could be a very, very good SL player.

It's a long contract for someone else who has barely played a first grade game. If we add I a papuan who has never played a first grade game it's a massive risk in a pivotal position

The recruitment is all over the place, seemingly over the hill journeyman like hardaker and Holmes or untried kids like these 2 hookers. We need some solid experienced pros in their prime years or we'll have another 2 or 3 years of mediocrity while all of these contracts unwind.

Maybe the investment isn't all it's cracked up to be
