Just under 2 weeks until it all starts again.


Really looking forward to this pre season with the move to Hull Uni and our new coaching set up and new signings coming in.
Looking forward to who the club appoint on to the coaching staff and on the playing front, having a fully fit Joe Cator, Carlos and Savelio will be like having 3 new signings too.

Hopefully see a vast improvement in conditioning and lower limb injuries.

Me too, be nice to have soon announcements soon, not sure why Gene hasn't been announced, as well as the conditioning team and a couple of new signings.



Really need a bit of luck with injuries this year, last time we had some luck we won the Challenge cup twice.

Cator and savelio have been injury prone since 2020

Unless they've found a crystal ball I don't see how they change it especially savelio he's always been hampered by injury

I wouldn’t say Cator is injury prone. Been desperately unlucky.
To rupture an Achilles is quite rare so to come back and do the same thing in your first game back is pure rotten luck.

looking at the criticism of our former physio and conditioning staff maybe he was brought back too early.
Tuimavave also suffered from recurring hamstring injuries which i have always said were because they brought him back too early

But you are guessing that about Carlos aren't you, unless you ate part of the conditioning team, you would have no way of knowing that.

Be interesting to see who we have lined up in the friendlies during pre season. I'd guess maybe another against Bradford and maybe one against a Yorkshire based SL side.

The conditioning team have gone and they wouldnt admit they brought him back too early would they.
The club needed Carlos back on the field and i guess they were under pressure to get him back but that pressure shouldnt have had a bearing on their judgement that he was fit to play which i think happened.
I said months ago that the club should look at changing the physio and conditioning staff based on the number of injuries and recurring injuries the players had and now the club has acted so i think my guess as you say has some credence

I do know for certain that Carlos didn't rate the clubs physio and he even got his own physio once he started his rehab before he went back to New Zealand.

Savelio played 19 out of 24 games in 2021.

Depends on you definition of 'injury prone'. Cator has had two major injuries. To me 'injury prone' means picking up injuries regularly, i.e. in and out of the team.

It was always a worry with Savelio, given his knees were suspect after major previous injuries, but he did seem to have avoided anything serious, until this last devastating injury, for me the player's worth to the team was a risk worth taking. Let's hope he has a proper rehab and comes back to his best, which on his day, is as good as most in SL.

Cator out of contract next year

If he doesn't play much next season can you really give him another deal

Hes been carried literally last 2 years

It's 2022

No wonder your clueless you don't even know what year it is

It's "you're".

You said he'd been injury prone since 2020 which as I pointed out is wrong as is most of the tripe you post on here.

8 games in 2022

12 in 2020

7 in 2019

Tripe you say





That's definitely injury prone

That’s the definition of cherry picking statistics. Literally ignoring 2021 as it doesn’t suit your narrative.

12 out of 17 in 2020 isn’t bad considering he missed a few games due to Covid.

I am a bit worried about how he’ll come back from another ACL injury

Every season around that has been poor so backs my point he is injury prone

Even the "good season" he still missed 5 games

"Come on you hull" disappears when he knows he's wrong

Maybe the incoming staff are still contracted until 31st October??

Do you have a medical degree, as you seem to know more about it then trained professionals or did you go to training to access Carlos?

Just because the club has decided to change the conditioning team, doesn't mean that they advised the club to rush players back, you have no evidence of that, Carlos could have seen 10 different physios who all could have cleared him to play, but he could still get injured in such a Physical sport, the same with Cator

So are Trueman and all the other players we have signed.

Press reports stating Hull City had an open training session in front of their fans at the MKM yesterday, which apparently was a big success. I would have thought a similar event for Hull FC would prove popular and beneficial if it could be arranged. Thoughts.

It would, would be great to see the academy (maybe the derby) play there too.

Not sure it will happen, but more chance than with the Allams.

Why shouldn't it happen Dave. Are both clubs equal tenants. Good for the goose....as the saying goes.

Morning Andy. Sure, but something to suggest across all clubs if you think it's so "popular and beneficial". Although on that last point probably shouldn't charge for entry given the poor take up of the £5 to see Willie Mason train omnishambles.
