Love the passing game he has on him too, had a big hand in both of our tries in the first half due to this.'"
Sums it up for me. |

How unfair to compare fitz and lynch,lynch has been a top quality signing as was fitz,but fitz had to do so much defensive work there wasn't any wonder he didn't have as much go forward as we would have liked.Both terrific signings imo.

No doubt Lynch has been amazing in the short time he's played for Hull but I'd say this comment is a bit disrespectful to other FC captains. Richard Swain and Tony Grimaldi in particular, who were both massive for us. |

| Quote: carl_spackler "It shouldn't be if you read my posts on him when he was here. I appreciate that some of it was down to the poor team he was in and the poor coaching it received, but I genuinely don't think he was that good for us as a team, and that that was partly down to him and his attitude as well. Reading his writings/quotes in articles and listening to his interviews, there was more than a whiff of arrogance about him, and he seemed to see playing 80 minutes every week as some sort of crusade to prove his incredible fitness at his age, despite this not being in the best interests of the team with his performance levels. Our lack of a strong coach did not help either, and I got the impression he was treated with a certain amount of reverance which meant he had more control/influence than a player should.'"
Couldn't agree more especially the personal crusade bit. It seemed to be all about him. |

To be fair to Staffs he didn't say that.
They're both exactly what a captain should be, hopefully Lynch will lift silverware with us as Swain did. |

And I wasn't directing it at Staffs, just making a statement.  |

Agreed. Lynch, or any one else, will have to have a pretty special stint at captain to top Swainy in the SL. |

It's not disrespectful whatsoever it's an opinion. Where do I slag off the players you mention ? That would be disrespectful. Swain was a legend who led by example with his work rate as did Grimaldi who was a fine player. Lynch does that too but also has a greater presence on the field for me - more vocal and not afraid to make representations where required. He got a standing ovation from the other players when named as captain before the season start so clearly has the respect of his team mates.
If you disagree that's fine I wont feel you are being disrespectful to Lynch. |

I believe that Lynch has the potential to gain the mantel of best Hull captain in the SL era. I just think that 8 competitive games is a relatively small sample size to make such a determination, especially when you're comparing him to guys who put in years of service.
You are of course entitled to your opinion.

I don't see it as a job. It is a passion and love that we all share. Neil Hudgell:30566.jpg |

| Quote: Mrs Barista "I've been seriously impressed with him all-round. Clearly has a fantastic attitude and his work rate is incredible - not hard to see why the squad were delighted he was appointed captain. A real captain's knock again last night, galvanized the pack when he came back on. A great role model for the emerging younger forwards too.
Top signing. Was a massive fan of Fitzgibbon, but Lynch is a more than adequate replacement IMO.'"
Did you honestly expect anything different? has performed at a high standard for years. |

You can never tell with these things, lets take Moobs Clinton for example, now he was allegedly the highest paid forward in Australia when he was there yet since being with you he is pretty much pants who only made 6 drives against Hudds. |
