"Lee will be coaching the team next year" Is this the dreaded vote of confidence?

Imagine the meltdown on here if this statement said Neil Hudgell has spoken....

You’d all be going into hysterics accusing lack of professionalism etc. Although it’s what the fans want to hear, imagine how players feel for the rest of the year? More poor performances will do more damage for season pass sales then a positive spin like this, and I think your pretty much guaranteed now poor performances.

What if he fails with these signings, what a problem he’s created for him self. He’s lost his head, made some predictions incredibly hard to back up due to contracts and promised the earth. I think Mr Pearson has messed up here, which to be fair is very unlike him.

Sounds like he's trying to ward off a load of season pass non renewals to me. All this talk of 10 or 11 new players is just trying to convince fans it will all be different next year

Spot on only one I don't agree with is Hadley.

He had a fit after the Hudds play-off game, quite rightly, and made a noise about changing things up. He' s clearly not satisfied. He sees us as having the potential of a top club and has delivered in the last couple of seasons. Better this perhaps than comfortable mediocrity of Middle 8 ever-presence. IMO.

Adam Pearson- Promises wonders and 5hits cucumbers.

He's shat out 2 challenge cups which is 2 more than grudge

People demanded action and it will happen says Peason, so why don't all the keyboard wariors wait and see what happens.

He has fixed it before and he do that again.

How many times in the past two years have we all been proved wrong, should remember that.

not as easy as you think to just get rid of players who have families and bills to pay, and bring in 4 top level players just to please the fans, salary cap dictates in rugby and just throwing cash at it is not always the answer,injured players coming back next year will make a massive difference,the problem both hull clubs have at the moment is there are no standout youngsters coming through hence injuries take their toll

I dont know, Brad Fash reminds me of a young Jamie Peacock

agree with that, particularly the part about the youngsters. Due to injury our young players have been given a massive chance to impress but have largely failed. I'd say Lane & Mantongo have looked good in patches so you could argue they have just been overplayed, but the others have looked nothing better than squad players.

Contrast to say when Cooke, King, Horne & later Yeaman broke through (largely due to us being skint and having no one else) and I was excited to see what was clear quite quickly could be international players. In later years you could see Tom Briscoe had 'it' but the current crop don't excite me.

Not tall enough, which unfortunately unless we get the Russian Olympic Doctors in for some shady dealings isn't a problem that will go away.

Thought I’d come on here for the first time in a few years to have a laugh. Not dissapointed, it’s ace
