well if nothing else he is certainly a student of the science of sport and training methods and obviously respected a bit with the clubs and international teams he has been allowed to shadow. .

Impressive and articulate first interview IMO. If nothing else he will bring self confidence and energy with a commitment to raising standards across the board as well as strengthening the squad. As you say interesting that he has spent time in France and also with Eddie Jones understanding his winning culture - this appetite to take broad perspectives and learn from others I imagine has been a key factor in his appointment.

Are you coming round a bit more now

Until we see the bloke's team on the field he's an unknown quantity as was Holbrook and Mcguire, he could well end up being a Stone or Furner too.
He seems well respected and studious, I'm excited for the new season for the first time in a while.

I hope Brett is house hunting in the area, as commuting, like others have stated, is a problem

Came across really well in his first press conference.

Signing a 6 looks to be a priority, I'd imagine/hope this will happen sooner rather than later.

Also looking for another middle and utility back.

Sounds like Connor will be full back, it'll be great for him to work with Brett, hopefully he can get the best out of him.

Ha ha, I’ve had many a good night in Fordyke, we should of got Josh Jones in for a few, he’d of settled down nice, after all that Lancashire rubbish beer.

Gwilym interview... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08zptnp Sounds a lot more confident than the one I listened to earlier .

While I warmed to Andy Last and the obvious job he did in turning us around, I'm quite pleased with this appointment, those who are underwhelmed need to get abit more realistic, when the sky deals reducing by 240k and we've lost a fortune in gate receipts etc we were never signing an expensive Aussie coach.

This for me after hearing people's opinions of him is he next best thing, he may be a gamble , he may turn out crap, but looks like he knows his stuff tactically and seems a real student of the game. So will hopefully solve a lot of the things we bemoan on here regularly. Itl also be good to have a fresh pair of eyes with no biased who can release what needs releasing and identify and hopefully sign quality in the areas we need to improve.

Fingers crossed he's got a good halfback in mind.

Hodgson certainly comes across well in that Radio Humberside interview. Confident and eloquent. Seems to know what he wants and what he expects.

Have to say I’m impressed with Hodgsons interviews so far. What seems clear from what BH has said is that he will demand the players put 100% into what they do at all times.
Also alluded to inconsistency can be down to level of effort put in to training.
Think some players may find it a bit of an awakening.
