Irregular' did say Rovers

Disagree. 2 cup wins is worth something.

Rovers, Wakey, Hudds, Cats would all take him if the circumstances arose. He'd certainly get London or one of the new American expansion teams if they came up.

I've always thought he might try it with us at Wakey first, just because the expectations are lower and his connections to the club, but his first stint at coaching at the Queensland Cup level ended with two titles, I think, and since then he's been assistant at a Grand Final winning side and then under Wayne Bennett. He'll go well, particularly as he knows the English game, culture, and Hull's expectations.

The drawback will be, however, the same reason that I think he won't come to Wakey: he's a big family man and he has school-age kids (from my memory of him carrying tiny ones around with him on the pitch at Wakey when still playing), and might not want to either leave them or bring them over.

Ian Watson and Purtill as assistant for me and I think it’s achievable.
I hope he’s got a get out clause in his contract he just signed with Salford, or Pearson would have to cough up again.

Might be wrong but I think he's had fairly close guarantees that he'll take over from Bennet at Souths in a season or two.

There is a reason we don't end up with world class coaches and that's because none want to come here!

Not for me. Watson is proven at making a sow's ear play like a silk purse. Our squad is a silk purse that plays like a sow's ear. Watson might sort us out but it's not the same skill set.

Very good

Smith’s signed a 3 year deal, Chester is the bees knees at Wakey, very similar to Watson, Hudds have turned the corner and Cats could essily have binned McBanana last year but stuck with him. No way are London coming back and newbies will go Oz. Moreclikely a swap with Salford, wishful thinking but I truly believe he’s been found out that he’s a coaching dinosaur.

Yeah fair enough, not saying he's getting any of those jobs anytime soon. Just that I think if any of those clubs were after a coach, he'd be in with a shout. I think we'll see him coaching in SL again in the next couple of years.

Glad he's not coaching FC anymore anyway, but it's nice to be able to say that when he's left us with some happy memories.

In fairness that's as much a UK thing as a Hull thing. Not many world class coaches in SL.

Could we bring Sean McRae back as consultant to oversee the appointment?
