Great player but I'm less convinced about the Captaincy. I think we are better off now in that department than we were and for that to happen he had to move. The mental resiliance of the team this season was so much better than recent years. Some of it no doubt down to Potter but also down to those doing the talking on the pitch. Certainly miss him in the forwards next year unless we sort something out soon.

To be honest i think the figures show how much SL clubs need a money man. Sport clubs don't make money, end of.

Hull are one of the best supported teams wand probably get good sponsorship money as well. The fact they have lost half a million shows how it is near impossible to run a sports club as a money making business if you want to be successful on the field.

RL needs more people like Pearson to help the sport compete against it's rivals.

We just had our best season on the field for years. Lynch would have improved the side I'm sure but we still did better than the past 3 years with him in it.

Catastrophic loss my backside.

Hull did win one more game than Bradford, so that conclusively proves Lynch is worth several trillion pounds, but why are you talking to this poster as if he was being serious?

I like to talk to fans of other clubs, no matter how many logins they have.

Well, I don't, I hate 'em all, and am actively arranging their extermination right now.


=#FF0000[size=85* Note to electronic communications police, and to fans of other clubs of an unduly nervous and worrisome disposition - the above comment is what is known as a "joke". I do not in reality hate the fans of any other club, indeed on the whole I quite like them, even Rhinos; and am not in fact arranging for any mass exterminations, or indeed any exterminations at all, nor do I advocate any such action. Nor indeed would I have any facility so to arrange, since Dr. Who has the Daleks well under control and I do not possess any weapons of mass destruction.[/size

Er, you've paid a fee for Joe Arundel from Cas?

I'm not convinced Pearson is in this for benevolent Davy/Moran/Hughes reasons so Hull fans need to be careful they don't end up disappointed. He's talked a good game so far but can he really be expecting to make a return from the sport? The previous Hull administration, unwilling or unable to fund the club themselves, did a good job in balancing the books but have got nothing but abuse. So Pearson's aim to make a profit is going to be a tricky ask.

I wonder what non Rugby League revenue Hull FC generate and how profitable it is operating out of a stadium they don't own.
