Talks a great game. Can't wait to see him play.

He certainly does and seems to have a desire to do well and prove both here and back in the NRL that he is still a very good player. So far both he and BH have made all the right noises.

JR certainly seems to be the real deal on the evidence so far and I don't think it is too far wrong or early to say even at this stage he could well be one of if not the best signings the club has made for decades.

There just seems to be something about him that leads me to believe that neither his team mates or us as fans are going to be disappointed.

Looking at Johnstone's last tweet hes got Covid.

He sounds a right romantic, doesn't he just.......

Prince William tweeted the same thing when he had it.

An unlikely pairing but must be a couple of right ladykillers with that level of charm and sophistication, innit.

Wonder if Wills used the same wooing techniques his dad did with his mistress



Best stick to "Pre Season" as we may end up in the Tower

As long as it wasn't the same [imodus operandi[/i as his uncle.





It was alright for an hour back in the day.

For a man who claims he doesn't sweat I bet he is doing so now

If what Hodgson is saying regards improvements everywhere including attitude, wanting to work hard for your team (mates) then hopefully that bodes well. We do have the basis of an excellent squad but need to knuckle down in the areas that we seem to be lacking in for some time.
He's bang on regards the detail, the small things when added up make a significant difference in how things play out, with Reynolds as a catalyst that brings a bit of what Kelly did as well as some aggression plus improvements across the squad, if we can stay healthy and get our fitness as good as it can be we have a shout at being at the pointy end.
Can't wait.

Really liking the stuff Reynolds puts out on social media and looks as though he is embracing the British winter weather. He did a video this morning at 7am in the pitch black of him looking for the sun! Looks like he is living in the Glasshouse overlooking Queens Gardens with a top floor spot - nice! Miles better than his digs in Sydney

He’s living the dream!

It was an Instagram story so was only on for a day

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... rd-4870804 Good to hear that defence is a priority. Way too many points conceded last year so hoping we can get some systems working on the edges and tryline.

Indeed and its also interesting to read the he is also implementing structures both in attack and defence and working on systems. I honesty cant remember when this was really mentioned during the Radford tenure and is something that the majority of us have noticed seemed to have been been lacking.

I always thought Radfords biggest problem was that he looked at the game too simplistically. He would talk alot about errors and effort and of course those are important but if you are poorly organised and not communicating well then no amount of effort will make up for that. Yet he rarely if ever talked about that. As a player he was a hard as nails workhorse and that was reflected in his style of coaching, but it meant the more nuanced parts of the game often got forgotten about. Hodgson seems to have a real eye for detail and a good understanding of different styles and systems. That's the biggest improvement I'm expecting to see this year.

Hopefully we get rid of the system of having a winger shoot in at the 2nd man in and leave the winger as the covering fullbacks responsibility when we are defending 10-30 yards from our own line.

Reynolds trained with the team today - still no sign of Connor https://twitter.com/hullfcofficial/stat ... 9600802816

Has he had an injury or a bit of surgery in the off season that means he might be working on his own on rehab rather than running about with the team? It seems unlikely that he would be in full training and not be seen in any pictures.

Connor definitely in preseason judging by Josh Reynolds comments ‘ “Adam Swift has been tearing shreds off me about my clothes – him and Jake Connor have been a dynamic duo ganging up on me, but the new guy has to cop it here and there!’

That's good news, was a little concerned he has in no pictures.

Interesting to see Wynne has been training as a winger, could be a really smart short term move.

Agree as Wynne has speed to burn and could prove a huge asset on the edges. Sounds like Hodgson is getting everyone to buy in to his plan too.

Can’t wait to see them get going even if only on tv
