Could be Danny Orr as assistant coach, leaving Salford, despite them wanting to keep him.

Big club? He’s become delusional like the rest of you. Mr Lakin manages KR not TS. Maybe Mr Pearson will be better at massaging TS’s ego.

Why are you so bothered?
It really seems to bother you that TS is now at Hull FC with amount of time you’ve spent on the Hull FC pages and posts made. For me TS ticks all the required boxes needed to bring the best out the players, he is experienced & has a proven record of turning the fortunes round at Huddersfield, Wire, Leeds and HKR. I think the saltiness coming from the east side of the city be it fans or media just reinforces to me that AP has made the right decision for our club.
I don’t think I’ve ever known in my time following Hull FC so much said or reported about Hull FC by our rivals across the river when we’ve appointed a head coach.

It is genuinely exciting and interesting times for our club with the huge changes made in the back room and training facilities. Add to that the success of the youth development program, improvements since the Allams left the SMC the feel good factor is coming back. Yes it’s a long road and no guarantees but the probability is much greater with an experienced and proven coach at the helm at last.

I think the animosity is borne out of fear that TS might actually be the one to finally fulfill the potential at FC.

And they know how good he actually was when he was there.

100%

You know exactly what I meant so don't try to be clever, its beyond your capabilities.

Alright keef .See there upgrading the burger Vans with nice new pictures of the new menu . Hedgehog.Squirrel.Rats.Dogs.Cats.Bet your licking them lips Keef

Good post. That did make me giggle In the early hours of a Tuesday morning.

I will give you credit. You have Mikey Lewis on your team. I'll gloat when we get him off you.

James Ford leaving York

Possibly to Wakey?

What’s it like in cloud cuckoo land?

Great reply, only took three weeks to think of that.

I only saw the post when I received an email today about Ford. You let us have your emerging players. We don’t send ours to you thankfully.

You've had two decent ones in the last few years.

We had Kelly and Watts, who at Hull won more challenge cups than Rovers have.

What have the ex Hull players helped you win?

8th place??

Don't forget beat us with 16 men, a game which will now be remembered for getting Hodgson sacked

Not the same thing at all. Both left us because of issues with their behaviour. Watts eventually left you with similar issues. Kelly’s time with you was not all sweetness and light either.

You think the two hookers are only decent? It would have been better for you to keep both of them in preference to Houghton.

You forgot to answer the bit about what they helped you to win.

The original discussion was about the merit of individual players.

As FC are such a poor team at the moment, some of your supporters, including yourself, choose to raise the issue of trophies in a fruitless way of deflecting attention from the present situation. I hope it helps lift the gloom hovering over the MKM Stadium

And the supplementary discussion was about the young Hull FC players who joined Hull KR and what they have helped you to win. The answer is "nothing".

I do understand your reluctance to discuss winning trophies, though. If you are under forty you won't have seen any apart from on old video tapes.

Erm, you lot did that for 36 years with your stupid little song. As for gloom, I think the future’s bright, it’s black and white.

No there was no supplementary discussion. Only statements by FC fans.

We have not won anything recently but for the last two seasons have been the better of the two Hull sides getting to two semifinals. You can gloat as much as you like about the past but in the present you are definitely second best.

You hang on to that then Keith. You don't know what's going on within our club so anything you come out with is guesswork. As good old Bob Dylan used to say "The times, they are a changing!.

Margaret Thatcher hasn't won a General Election recently and Shakin' Stevens hasn't had a number one recently.

Only time will tell but for 2023 I would much prefer our squad to FC’s. We were stronger than you in 2021 and 2022 and I expect our signings will take us up a level. I cannot see that FC’s signings will have the same effect although surely there will be some improvement. We will only know as the season plays out.
