"It’s fair to say we will have new attacking, defensive and [ukicking structures[/u in place, with different structures for each part of the field, too."

Dude, this is Hull FC. Our kicking structure is set in stone - Richard Horne straight to the opposition fullback on the last.

Not much new here, but sounds very upbeat - makes a nice change.

Be interesting to see if horne is more effective with some decent coaching. Looking back at old dvd's, his kicking was much better around 2005/6. I also think our kickers have suffered due to poor ball from acting half since swain retired

Maybe big sam fancies his go at kicking on the last

he couldn't do much worse than our kickers have in recent years

Im really liking the sound of our new coach. Seems to be going about his job in a quiet but very organised mannor.

He keeps saying this


I really hope he sticks to it as it will help us in the long run.

With you 100% on that one

Completely agree on all points - was a criticism of the lack of ideas rather than Horne himself. Also, with Danny Nicklas reportedly the standout in training, and Ellis in the mix, it will be interesting to see whether the competition for places notches him up a gear.

Looking forward to seeing what Seymour has to offer.

Position I'm probably most concerned about in terms of cover is fullback. McKinnon's not got a perfect injury record and AFAIK and from what Gentle's said, presumably the cover is Jack Briscoe? Hopefully it won't happen (obviously), but if the halves are all going well, wonder whether he would use Horne at FB were Mckinnon injured.

he said it at the forum,i think he will stick to it aswel,roll on start of the season.

What I like from all interviews I've seen of him is the enthusiasm he shows for the job and his down to earth attitude.

The game at York may give us more clues.I wonder if players like Nicklas will play against rovers or the previous day at york?

Depends on how many subs your allowed?

I would prefer Nicklas to play at york considering he hasn't played for a year.

Played the reserve game at castleford and then the two play off games if a remember correctly at the end of the season.

Spot on. We watched our CC run from 2005 over Christmas and it comes as a surprise just how good his kicking was back then compared to recent seasons. As well as missing Swain I think that the pressure of being the only kicking option may have got to him. Back then he had Cooke and Brough to share the load and keep the opposition guessing.

sure i read somewhere that gentle is looking at 19/20 for rovers game

Yes it was in the article this thread is about.

IT DOESNT MATTER HOW MANY PLAYERS YOU PUT ON THE FIELD AT ONCE, THE RED MASSES WILL BE THERE AND OUR HEROES WILL COME OUT VICTORIOUS. WE WILL TURN THE KC INTO A PYRAMID

Go and put yourself down Sandercocks underpants you sad crab.

We had a kicking game under Agar??

Hmmm Crabby you joined in 2009 and have only made 33 post so far, nice to see you come out of retirement. You must be thinking of going to the first few games of the season again, no don't tell me you have been a season pass holder for the last 150 yeaars.

Red Masses, hahahahaha that is a good one.

Yes and it worked brilliantly........[size=50 in training.[/size
