Howdo Budgie. Hope you are well? Bit ironic Ellis gave us his best performance last game for him v Saints. Hes a steady away half back who will do a job behind a decent pack but you know this from last stint. One of those players who maybe is a bit underrated?Thinking of his time at Hull Cas and us. Bit like Tommy Lee. He must be doing something right to get contracts playing our glorious game. I wont lament him going but wish him the best.

jamie ellis will be very good next year in the championship, hes been one of them borderline superleague/ top half championship players, would be happy if was a leigh supporter

Agreed, just after that the club announced we had also signed Blake Wallace from Toronto, so we will have a superb championship 'half back' pairing for 2021.

No, it was created via direct quotes from your Chairman pre-season. He either believes it’s going to happen or he was playing season pass salesman again. Could be both I suppose.

I know plenty of FC fans who bought into the hype (again).

He spent enough

How long will Andy last ?

Club Chairman in “my team has a chance of doing well shocker”! Maybe if Hudgell had created the same hype at any point during his tenure, he might have made enough cash to stay or even increased your fan base and season pass sales.

All Hull fans that I know are well aware of our deficiencies including: Shaul, Bowden, Fash, Houghton, Masi, Lane, Houghton, Fash, Houghton and our captain...
A large crop of players are just not good enough.

Apparently until Tony Smith jumps ship? Dont know Last but he comes across as a good fella just think that job needs a real disciplinarian and weed out the lazy half assed rotten apples. This Woolfe fella looks the real deal.Dont think players would take liberty with likes of him.Not my problem but if Last wants to keep his job then its probably time to get a bit nasty with ringleader/s.
As for us it seems our policy of young mobile predominantly UK forwards Smith has put together may suit the new rules? One good win doesn't mean much in isolation but you can see what Smith is trying to do.

It is clearly his preference to move the ball about and try things. However, he has talked about having to play this way as well. Obviously, with Mose Masoe’s very serious injury and Garbutt’s struggles to put a run of games together, we’ve lost a lot of the ability we did have to offer a challenge down the middle. There’s a lot of uncertainty going into next season, but I still hope we can avoid talk of a mobile pack. If you can threaten down the middle [uas well[/u, that’s going to be much more effective.

For me the biggest improvement from Warrington, through Saints to Wigan was in defence. If we can defend effectively and consistently while playing small ball, then maybe mobile can work. It has failed so many times that it is taking me time to get my head around it. A few more wins, and I might be persuaded.

Reading Albert Kelly may join Leigh also? This doesn't surprise me after giving Leigh our 17 and tactics few year back. The fact Blair and the others refused to play alongside this man says enough. Wonderful player mind.Just get the impression hes a disruptive type and doesn't take many of them to kill a team from the inside?

To be honest I think we have a team that should be challenging, we just need the right coaching team, someone who isn't afraid to change our style and drop underperforming players. Covid came at a really bad time for us, as if it hadn't happened then we would have a new coach by now. It seems to have the opposite effect for Rovers (Ignoring the financial impact and NH leaving) and the threat of relegation taken away they can play younger players and play with more freedom. It's something I hope we can do, play younger players and see what they can do and take some positive away from this awful season. I think we will have a new coach in place next year, I just hope it is the right man for the job.
