Welcome Brett.

No disrespect to Andy but we need a fresh start, new ideas.
Some folk on here are naive if they believe Pearson just used his own judgement.
Gaz Ellis, Fitzgibbon , Kearney amongst a few would have given their input.
Let’s get behind Brett.

Used to live near me and got his fruit and veg from the same shop, nice lad. I used to try and poison his oranges when he was at Huddersfield and they were playing Rovers.
I also wanted to wang him in the canal a la Tallis, but Ms. Terrorista wouldn't let me.

It's a fresh start, a new broom, that most of us have been calling for.
I can't believe the moaning of some on here so far.
Let's see what Brett brings before judging.
I'm excited about the unknown and at least have renewed optimism.
Welcome to the club Brett and good luck.

I can't look at him without the adjectives "wiry" and "gnarly" permeating my brain. If I were in our squad and fond of an off season pie I'd be rethinking my food plans for the next few weeks.

Your misses told you what to do? what a gutless wimp you are. Get a grip Sandro. More importantly could you tell by the way he handled the fruit if he was going to be a Super League winning coach?

I said this earlier though Again with the name calling, enough! Karen.

Underwhelmed.

It would have been much better if you started with this, rather than your Pearson rant.

and nonsense about Hudds, Warrington, Saints and Wigan who have all appointed NRL assistants in the last couple of years.

Welcome to Hull, Brett!

Glad we have got the appointment sorted and pleased we are bringing someone in from outside the current set up. Timing is good too as we get into the close season period.

Big thanks to Andy Last for taking up the reigns after Lee had left and giving us something to cheer about over the past couple of months.

As with any Hull Coach, Brett will get my full support.

As someone mentioned, very few Coaches can guarantee success and some Coaches work better at some clubs than at others.

I’m sure Adam has done his research and obviously knows him from his previous stint at Hull. Hopefully Brett will increase our access to the NRL to help fill our quota spaces each season.

we have to hope that he has already earmarked a halfback to come with him

A backs coach who understands and can coach defending according to players that have worked with him, it was extremely unlikely we were going to get anyone top tier but we needed a change of the remnants of the 'old guard'. Coming in with certain players still with contracts that need moving on is always going to make a first season difficult but hopefully a change in how we do some things can move us forward regards performances both in defence and attack, being more consistent, reducing errors, not dropping into bad habits or heads down when under pressure etc.
Who knows what's going to happen but we need to support Brett and hope that they can make the changes to change things not just the first team squad but elsewhere within the club.

Well it seems likely that this has been sorted for a few weeks and I guess that Hodgson has been going over DVD of every game. The one thing about appointing a coach from the NRL is that he'll have knowlege and contacts of players over there.

He'll certainly be no Peter Gentle who basically signed whoever Shaun McRse and David Howes wanted us to.

Reasonably pleased with this. An outsider with a good pedigree and reputation. He’s obviously very motivated and wants a great start to his coaching career, so let’s hope he does just that. Will have good links for future signings, too.

Laughable at some usual moaners’ comments, and on other social media outlets. Wanted a ‘big named coach’ - like who? Even the best teams in this competition don’t get them. Typical.

Anyway, welcome Brett.

Spot on and well said
