Not arguing with his qualifications, which are clearly impressive. Would just have preferred an NRL experienced conditioner. Not sure what experience he's actually got apart from in RU and at Doncaster. |

I'm sure he wont take offence from message board comment 
I assume that contacts within the game rate him and that McRae knows about his work record. Important appointment for sure. |

I hear what you are saying and I do not necessarily disagree, however hopefully Bomber & Co have got it right. |

Possibly, but all he has to do is get his brother-in-law, who is a Hull fan who posts on here, to confirm he accidently posted under Willow Red. Until then I'd like to assume he's a "Doyle". I think that's how you referred to him originally. |

Weren't there rumours that pearson had offered someone the job and then retracted it as the new coach wanted to appoint his own man?

Mcrae offered Mallinson the job. There is still a role there for him if he wants it. |

Agreed. Very underwhelming choice, I don't understand it. Hope they have got it right. |

| Pearson offered it to someone then retracted on Mcrae's advice.
That guy now has a pick of three SL clubs and Hull have ended up with JT's mate
I hope Pearson putting all his faith in Bomber does not come back to bite him. He was advised by people from Hull City and a top player/now agent to go for someone fully qualified and with vast experience, he has gone for someone who is neither.
That does not mean the bloke will do a bad job though and he may well prove to be a good signing. |

Who is JT?
It appears Gentle,Mcrae and Devlin have one thing in common, David Howes!!
Personally underwhelmed about Devlin, Carl Jennings wouldve beem superb!! |

Recently linked up with David Howes - this will be his first full-time role.'"
As long as he is a good conditioner I couldn't give a flying one if he was Billy Slater or Hutch Maiava. |

Exactly.
But more importantly that Doncaster under-performed and he is a Howes man.
He is also only half qualified in comparison to every other Conditioner in SL except perhaps Billy Mallison who's qualifications I do not know anything about. |

Exactly! Which is why, I think, as long as he is good enough I don't care if he was a poor rate rugby player.
Bomber is also a 'Howes man'. As is Gareth Ellis . |
