It's certainly a fair assessment though. Fair play to him.

Glad he's not held back. He never did on the podcast.

Does Dan ever have to visit the training ground? '"

Great post from Dan. Maybe people will start to see it's not just down to Hodgson and stop calling for his head every time we get beat.

Hodgson development of Hull FC coming along nicely. Bringing pace and youngsters into the team. Long term going in the right direction.

I guess we will see if we ate going in the right direction, got to improve our discipline and sort out the hooker position still.

Really hope your right buddy, super Tex might spark us into life.

Backrow too, there is no way we can go into next season with our 2nd rowers as Dre, Lane, Griff & Severs.

Think we can add Sutcliffe too, but yes I agree, was hoping Griffin might work out well there, but that doesn't look likely so need to add some quality in the backrow.

No excuses not, Pearson has really backed him, top 6 is a priority this season.

Surely has to move Connor to 6 when fit and Smith when he arrives to nine to add some speed at acting half but still not sure Hodgson has a plan other than to bring some guys in and lets see how it goes

1. Walker
6. Connor
7. Gale
13. Joey
14. Smith

Is how I would line up for the remainder of the season.

Think someone of Smiths ability has to start.

1.Walker
6. Smith
7. Gale
9. Lovodua
13. Connor

Do we really want Connor tackling props?

I'd have Smith on the bench. He can spell at hooker and cover 1, 3, 4, and 6 in case of injury.
