Elite sport has a special exemption from having to quarantine. However, the government is full of Old Etonian's who wouldn't class Rugby League as an elite sport in fact most of them have probably never heard of it.

No - Australia and Japan are on the UK government's travel corridor list.

I know i was a bit grumpy when we first announced our new coach but im firmly in the pro Hodgson camp now - he sounds like the coach weve needed for a very long time! https://hullfc.mysportsonline.uk/?fbcli ... qRpbH9V6mA

Hodgson might be inexperienced as a head coach but he ticks a lot of boxes and the more I've seen and heard of him the more impressed I am by him. I think this could turn out to be an excellent appointment.

I was just going to post on this thread, and read this. My thoughts, exactly.

He certainly comes across as very assured

The more I see, the more I like

He's certainly coming across as bright, articulate and hungry. Looking forward to seeing what he can do with this group. It will clearly be a different dynamic to the Radford/Last era

I pick up a no-nonsense vibe as well.

With his NRL experience, and who he’s worked under, I think it’s looking a better appointment as times goes on, and the more we hear of his philosophy.

Plus he brought Reynolds with him!

good to see he looks at the camera when being interviewed,not like radford,anywhere but at the camera.

Heard AL starts his new job soon just down the M62

Confirmed new assistant at Wakefield

Good for Andy and Wakey, pleased that there seems to be no bad blood between him and the club.

Got to thank him for all his efforts over the past 20 plus years.

Interview with Gwilym Lloyd

Brett is on 'The Coaching Manual' tonight. sky sports arena tonight at 8.

Caught the first two with Woolf and Smith.

It was difficult listening to Smith talk about Moses injury, you can see how much it rocked the full club.

Be interesting to see if LR gets the gig at Cas, and how he’d get on there.

Really like BH and his demeanour. Things won’t always go smoothly this season , but think he’ll do well for us in the long run.

Some real negative comments about BH first being appointed on this thread!

Bit like when there was moaning about signing Connor cos he was a bang average utility player who wouldn't get a game. Not even joking.

Thanks for letting us know.

Watching it now. Hugely impressive. Excellent questions from Carney as well.

Really good questions like do you let Jake Connor get away with trying stuff others would get a bollocking for, do you tolerate bad behaviour short term to the detriment of team culture. Really sharp interviewing from Carney and interesting replies. Highly recommend.

Just watched it all the way through.
Love BH’s philosophy, both on and off the pitch. A good guy.

Like others have said, great questions from Carney. Very astute and intelligent.

I thought it was a fascinating interview regarding the club 'culture', and the new defensive system which Brett stated was used by Ivan Cleary.. Also Brett alluded to Hull FC using Damian Hughes a leading Sports Psychologist as a Consultant.. liquidthinker.com/

With Scott Taylor and Andre Savelio making it in to the latest SL team of the week we have now had players in this for the first 4 rounds which got me wondering when or if there had been a time that as a club we'd had more than one player in the team of the week on 4 or more consecutive occasions?

I think this just shows the impact and importance that changing the coaching set up at the club has had along with the new ethos and idea thats Brett Hodgson has brought in.

I think its also shows that the players have also bought in to what BH, KP & GE want and that they believe in what is being asked of them.

Whilst its still early in the season and there will no doubt be some games that don't go to plan I certainly don't think effort, determination or application will be in question this season.

BH whilst being an inexperienced head coach certainly seems to have very good people skills/man management and the ability to be able to get that extra 1% from his staff/players so far.

Players certainly seem to want to play for him, and buy into the culture he is creating.

I think BH has said it won’t happen at once & he’s building for the years to come.
There’ll be speed bumps along the way, but I’m massively impressed by what he’s said, and how he goes about saying it.
