No entry fee was charged for Hull City open day training session Mrs Barista. You seem to have me confused with another poster, no problem though, i think, perhaps mwindass may vouch for me.

Exactly, so if it's so beneficial you'll be recommending it for all clubs cocker.

Indeed.I would most certainly hope all clubs in Rugby League, not just Super League, would consider the likes of this and indeed every other form of interaction with their supporters. Fan forums, social nights, meet the players etc, etc. Everything clubs can do make supporters feel part of the club in this great game of ours Beneficial all round.

Beautiful sentiment. Tony Smith delivered amazingly on this sort of galvanising impact at Rovers (until PL unravelled it all of course) so fingers crossed it's replicated at FC.

Looks like Satae been putting some hard work in during the off season. Has certainly slimmed down.

City are doing a much improved job on fan engagement and it seems to start at the top as the new owner just gets it. We are told relations with FC are much improved so hopefully we can schedule some similar events.

Think I saw some footage of the Fiji squad training on the MKM pitch?

I think NZ trained on there as well

Be good to see a return to the clubs fan forums. Especially given the changes at the club since the end of last season.

Liam Sutcliffe for club captain?

Last one I went to was before the 2016 season with Sika and Mahe.

Good shout.

Be quite happy with that personally.

Great shout that.

With pre season starting a week today, hopefully there might be some announcements this week with regards to the new back room staff.

A HDM article last week mentioned Stanley Gene being part of the backroom staff

He was spotted at Hull uni with TS and Gaz Ellis a few weeks ago. Not sure why he hasn't been announced before now.

All starts tomorrow. Noticed that Lovodua is back from Australia as he was at the Fiji game last night.
Dwyer and Sutcliffe In Dubai so probably have another week off and hopefully won’t be too long before Hoy and Clifford arrive.

Hoping we get plenty of insights from the club throughout the course of pre season and be great to see the return of the At all costs videos they we’re putting on FC live a couple of years ago.

Saw Big Chris at the Fiji game and thought he looked in good condition but the videos from the 1st day of preseason really show off how hard he must have worked this offseason. Looks like he has lost a load of 'bad weight'.

Looking good isn't he. Seen he's been doing a lot of boxing with Fonua during the off season and doing some hill work at Brantingham too.

Fonua looks in good shape too tbh

Probably in his best shape since coming back here in 2020. Think he'll go well next season.

Some good content from the club on day one. Good to see Swift and Cator doing some field work too.

Saw Swift in town on Saturday morning with his little lad, he seemed to be walking well so fingers crossed he’s not far away from full recovery from his injury and back in full training soon.

Heard that Lewis Martin blew everyone away with the condition he turned up in, know the step up is huge but he has always really impressed me and think he could have a real shot at SL level.

I've just put something about him on another thread, was really impressed with him last season, reminds me of Tom Briscoe, but with more height.
