Came in and did a job for AP when he took over and will always be fondly rememberd by the fans from his time as coach and DOR and is a fitting end for him to go out with us being at Wembley.

This is not a surprise. He was going to leave last year but he and AP agreed he would stay another year.

AP knew nothing about RL when he bought the club so needed McRae. He's learned a lot since then and doesn't need him any more.

Looking forward, McRae has until now been the "public face" of the club. Does this mean we can expect AP to step forward and we will hear a lot more from him in public?

Also will it be AP or the coach who deals with recruitment, negotiating with agents etc?

Some people have criticised Bomber for some of his comments but overall I think he's had a positive effect. Good luck to him back home, lets hope we can send him off with a Wembley win.

Agreed, we might not have won anything under him as Head Coach but we had a very entertaining team with the likes of Smith, Barnett, Swain, Best, Prekkie as well as emerging local lads like Yeaman, Horne and Cooke.

Obviously highly thought of by Pearson and has helped him get to know how things work in rugby league compared to football.

Summed up perfectly.

What a squad that was and was only due to injuries that we didnt win the GF the season we was battering teams for fun.He also signed some unknown corkers in Maher and Mcmenemy and gave Brian Carney his debut as well and is the only member of the sky team who likes us.

the year we got knocked out of the play offs by saints at the boulevard controversially, i thought was our best chance of winning the GF. we played some great stuff that season and it was a pity jason smith got injured at the back end of the season. (unlucky to lose at wigan that year too)

He should lead us out at Wembley

No he shouldn't that'll be Adam Pearson (you know the man who pays the bills)

yeah, I'm aware of him thanks

That would be a nice touch. Sorry to see him go.

Good luck Bomber, you go with my best wishes.

All the best Bomber.

For some reason, had a handful of critics but I think he's been good for the club in many aspects.
The side he constructed was one of the Hull teams I most enjoyed watching.
He's been a good spokesman for the club and I wish him all the best in the future.
