I don't want to be a dark horse I am looking for a good season and good open rugby,
players backing up, a good sliding defense, the team playing for one an other .
And not giving daft penalties away.Plus I am waiting for the ref's decisions to even themselves out
I keep on hearing that is suppose to happen Don't want a lot. Players showing pride
in wearing the Hull FC shirt .Then I will be happy

you are forgetting one major factor at warrington! daddy warbucks moran! he will just keep getting his cheque book out to bankroll success for the next decade imo

moran has put the structures and finance in place to ensure that wire have plenty of quality youngsters coming through. i hope pearson invests as wisely in the future of our club

same here, we need to bring our development in line with warringtons', like us not all of wires' youngsters will make it, so he will still open his cheque book when needed

Recent record of new coaches at Hull FC

Kear - Cup win in first season
Sharp - Grand Final appearance in first season
Agar - Cup Final appearance in first season

With this in mind I think it's very reasonable to expect a minimum of a Grand Final win next season!!!

I like your logic.

I like the other kids way of thinking. yours is far too sensible.

Too early to say if we can be 'dark horses' next season. We are still signing players and I would not be surprised if we want rid of others but as they still have contracts it is not the simplest thing to do. Next season I will be happy if we can go into games against the big 4/5 with a real hope of beating them rather than grabbing the odd lucky win.
My expectations are not too high as Gentle has a lot of things to sort out, 3.5 seasons of Agars mismanagement needs putting right and it wont be an overnight fix.

Why? When Tony Smith took over at Wire they were in the bottom 3 having had years of under achieving, in that season without making a signing he took them to top 4 or 5 and won the challenge cup, good coaches get the best out of players and can make an instant impression!!

Well spotted.

I just want to win every game at the KC - Have exciting times like we did under McCrae - Steve Prescott - Richie Barnett- Colin Best - We had some great times. Just entertain please cos I will not take the Agar Boredom ever again.

They were exciting times because we played exciting stuff that looked like it could win something and if not for that horrible run of injuries at the back end of the 2004 season I honestly believe we would have.
