Letting go of Head was the right decision IMO, replacing him with Dykes wasn't. |

Hard to say. He couldn't train and his fitness was a concern but if we could've got him fit over the off season I think he would've been great in 2008. He only missed one game in the 12 he was here, IIRC. Far better % record than Dykes or Long 
From his debut at Craven Park we won 8 out of the last 10 league games (going from 7th to 4th) and was inches away from beating Wigan to go 80 minutes away from Old Trafford. We also scored plenty of points. |

completely agree.
Dykes was clearly a good player on his day, but it was also very clear that his medical must have been done by Conrad Murray or Dr Nick from The Simpsons!
We have to hope that Seymour is finally the fit every week Half Back we have been waiting for. Knowing HullFC there will be a last minute visa or injury drama though! |

If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...: |

As long as the deal was in Hull's favour appearance wise Head would have been no lesser risk then Dykes and he played a major part in taking Hull up to 4th in 2007 without him we would have struggled to make the play offs.
Head actually played first grade for West Tigers in 2010 after leaving Hull.

And people wonder why we've struggled when we've pinned our hopes on crocked half backs staying fit |

Just comparing the release of Head to be replaced by Dykes. The 2008 overseas signings were all wrong IMO and set us back a good few years. |

Aye we made a few wrong calls around that time didnt we?
I remember in May 2007 Peter Sharp saying he was interested in signing a young fringe player called Jamie Soward. I wonder why we never did push the boat out and sign him and instead settled for an injury plagued Dykes? Could have made a massive difference to Sharps tenure in hindsight.  |
