I don't think any coach worth his salt would sign under this regime. |

we need to identify a player we want,that we think would improve us, that would get us around the park and the best in that position whether he be under contract or not
If we have to pay a transfer fee for the player we want then so be it, instead of just looking at the OOc players

I prefer the term 'plodders', I've seen plenty of match winners that were grafters too! |

If we offer the right money to an OOC aussie that can do the job I'd be happy. |

Your right people like Mcmenemy,Chessy could be match winners on there day but also do the hard work
And then you had the mecurial jason Smith pulling the strings
Compare this to Manu,Ticks and Radders it's no contest |

| That 2004 team was a brilliant attacking team. Was great to watch, just how nice would it to have Panther back. I will never forget his his BIG hit on Penkywiz (spelling) from Halifax. Smashed him mid air! 
McMenemy was a great player too. Had a top kicking game for a back rower as Leeds Rhinos found out with his kick to Raynor. Was also a solid defender too.
Logan was quality and was a shame he got injured and left.
Smith well no need to mention anything about him. But I remember a quote from Stevo I think against Bulls and the KC along the lines of.
"When Smith plays, Hull have to start as favourites".
Thats how good he was.
A team full of flair but which would work hard for each other aswell. Nothing like we have now. A team full of grafters but which still don't work for each other.  |

TBF Manu would have been devastating in that 2004 side. |

Fair and good assesment, thats what annoys me though
Through appointing the wrong coaches they have taken us backwards in term of recruitment
We can all see we have no genuine matchwinners in 6,7,13 which are 3 of the most pivotal positions
Adam Dykes would have solved this if he was fit, he was eaxctly what we needed as a number 7 just injury prone

I agree a fit Dykes would've been good but he wasn't in the same class as Smith, and he still wouldn't have made us anywhere near as good as the '04 team! |

1 Horne
6 Lockyer
7 Finch,Cronk,Orford(any 1 of them 3)
9 Berro
13 Washy

Correct, with all the players coming out of contract we need to be very stringent with re-signing and recruitment with the balance of the squad
We need to get away from these utility player tags and get specialist players in there correct positions
