He's bringing Gleeson back as club nutritionist and doctor

If all the crazy rumors have a spec of truth in them I have a simple question.

After the cup final why wasn't Radford given his chance to show what the side could do in the play offs?

Luckily we'll have Cooke 2 day's a week, we do need to thank Doncaster for allowing him to spare some time to help our club.

I'd also like to see Paul King brought back and given a role in the club, maybe catering, the beer is awful.

Imho, IF Gentle has gone, I would think it will simply be Radford as caretaker coach, until we have a permanent one in place.

I would hope you are right but would also hope that we have a permanent appouintment within the next 4-5 weeks so he can properly prepare for next season.

Just another thought -if Radford does get the job will he cut back his involvement in his other business interests? I believe he owns 2 or 3 bars. Coaching Hull FC is a full time job with no room for distractions.

Rumour on the Wigan board that you've signed Chris Tuson.
A good player, not a star but will put a shift in for you every time he plays.
Had a good season when fit and scored some decent tries when backing up.
Our problem was that after Hock, the 2nd row often was Hansen, Farrell & Tuson.
That combination is too small.
You have some big men in your squad so shouldn't be a problem for you guys.
That's if it's all true of course.

The only reference I can see to Tuson joining a Hull club was Hull KR.

And we don't have a big pack any more.

Radders has been telling pals this morning that he agreed in principle to take the job over the weekend and is sitting down with Pearson midweek to thrash out the details.
Think it is too early for him personally but he has served a decent apprentiship in the Conference, with your juniors and as your assistant. It is always good to see a Hull lad come good so good luck to him.

I've had a couple of days to think about the whole Radford/Last/Cooke idea now, and I still can't see any merit in it whatsoever. Like anything, there's a chance it might work, but it looks like a massive gamble with incredibly long odds. I don't like it. Not one bit.

Why would you need to appoint a caretaker coach? There'll be no role for a coach for the next 6 weeks or so anyway until training starts for next year.

If Radders is to be coach then I will certainly give him a chance until he proves otherwise.
We need to give him some credibility and hope he will be professional enough to distance himself from the players and create that gap between them in order to promote discipline and respect within the squad.
No need for all the doom and gloom in my opinion. I'm not an eternal optimist when it comes to Hull but as Hull fans I find some just like to whinge and moan without people being given a chance. (Feka aside )

Not very professional of him.

I would have thought the club would want control over the news getting out so as to be able to put the best possible spin on it.

It's KR he's joining.

Happy day's just what we need an inexperienced coach with the re-mit everyone has to be from Hull with a sprinkling of Island boys to add some beef to the pack.

Luckily for us wakey and London are in a mess.
