Anyone read it, and if so what do you make of the chapter 'Hell at Hull'

Bought it today and got it signed. Good queue, got it for a present for someone so will have to read without bending the spine

There was a sizeable queue at one o clock - luckily for us, he started signing early and we got in quick. He was very willing to chat and is actually loving his rugby again, working with part-time players. He didn't have a good word to say about some of the pro's who just play for the money but don't love the game. He mentioned Yeamo as one of the old school players who'd play for free and the chance to wear the shirt.

Top bloke. I hope he shifts a lot of copies of that book. I look forward to reading it this week

And, if you're reading this Mr Pearson, he'd love to come back.

very interesting read, while the start of 2006 was poor do think we only had 1 bad game and a poor 2nd half against wire. his point that he had worked with Shaun to lay the foundations for what happened in 05, 06 is fair and true point, as is the point of letting Briscoe, Cooke and Brough go.

does shed some light on what happened, do think its interesting that Agar was given more time to build a team than Kear did and that one of Pearson's first decisions was to bring in a new coach.

great to meet him, true gent even signing my Cup final ticket, would be happy for him to come back

So we get rid of Gentle and bring Kear back

I meant it as in if down the line, hopefully not for a while though, we needed a new coach then would be happy for Kear to come back, very happy with Gentle

I don't know what Kear could add to the squad what Gentle isnt already doing imo . Great bloke and on his day a great tactician .

The only way John Kear should be allowed anywhere near our (or any other Superleague)team is as an assistant

Got a feeling you was a couple of people in front of me as i heard your conversation.

Anyway was a great turnout with what looks like hundreds sold and John was very friendly and chatty with everybody and very appreciative for people for buying his book and mentioned that it just shows what a city of rugby league Hull really is.

Enjoy your ban.

Ban was only for a week but ive still been reading

Not missed much

I bet he's come back a beacon of positivity?

What was you banned for?

He was suspected of being positive. Tests have proved otherwise.
