Lot to prove next season, I reckon he will be like a new player and surprise a lot of people now that he has a quality HB partner alongside him! He wasn't the type of player we needed last season creativity wise and that became blatently obvious to the fans and oposing coaches, Holdsworth has the opposite qualities of BS so they should compliment each?

I was a big critic last season but it's a new season and he'll get my support like the rest of the squad.

It sounds like Pearson will be meeting with him to clarify comments made toward the end of the season and clear the air. Hopefully with Holdsworth taking some of the pressure of him Seymour will improve.

Think seymour will have a point to prove but not sure either him or DH are that player who will order players were they want them. Also neither has great pace but definitely best pairing for a while

Without sounding disrespectful to Richard Horne, our halves are better for next year mainly because he isn't in them. As he proved against Leeds, Seymour certainly has the ability and I'm hoping his dismal consistency last term was down to 'settling in' (although Pearsons comments won't have helped).

New season, new slate.

Surely his dismal consistency(your words) came first before AP,s comments,other wise he would be in no position to make such remarks

His lack of consistency coincided with injuries being picked up but still playing on.

Brett's a Hull player, so should get our full support and encouragement.



It's a new season, hopefully the treatement and rest has cleared up his injury and the arrival of Holdsworth provides an opportunity for him to create a new partnership.

Going either of two ways. he says bollox to it and spits his dummy or says to himself right I'll show him.
my guess its the latter. Didnt think he was too bad last year anyway, had a decent game at manchester but got remembered only for being done by Hodgson. The other way round, we would have expected Dobson to get done!

The 'faithful' will be on his back the first time he makes a mistake next season.

Well, yeah. Thanks for that.

But the fact he's publicly acknowledged what he said wasn't helpful shouldn't be lost either, should it?

As another poster has pointed out, Seymour played injured too.

Didn't see much evidence of it this season tbh. Well, apart from on here.

He'll be better than last season I'm sure of that, by how much I'm unsure but he hasn't played to his best for us yet. A lot worse 7's about.

Mostly nice sentiments but ...... If he performs like he did in the majority of games last season, PG has to get shut.
Give him a month to see if there is anything noticeably different.

Don't you think they've already tried that one?

Could be worse, and have Shannon McDonnell type abuse

is he even fit? didnt pass a medical at the giants when we tried to sign him

I reckon he will play six next year with Holdsworth as the main organizer.

Fickle!

The main thing that goes against Seymour is that he really doesn't look bothered or that he is even trying most of the time which is what everybody seems to pick up on. If he at least looked like he was having a dig I doubt he would get the amount of criticism he does.

Respect your opinion, but this one suprises me. My impression was that Seymour has had very little barracking from fans because people perceive that he [iis[/i trying. The criticism has not been at all personal but more analysis of his basic playing ability as a half-back e.g. he is not leading/dominating, he is slow, his kicking is awful etc.

Similarly there seem to have been no murmerings from the club, despite his chequered history, that his attitude and commitment with us haven't been good. The murmerings seem to be much more about him struggling to do the job we need.

My perception FWIW is that he is an Australian who, despite his limitations, is trying do well for Hull.

Agree. He appeared simply not good enough certainly to fulfil the role required. With Holdsworth alongside and perhaps now free of his injury issues his confidence may improve which would in turn see his game get back to where he would want it. He looked frustrated last year because what he was trying wasn't coming off and as his confidence went so too did the rest of his game , his defence started out pretty sound but faded as the season went on. He could be like a new player for us and have an impact. If he doesn't I think it'll be because he's not good enough not because he doesn't care.

To be fair, he could have said 'I'm injured boss and can't play' could he not? He didn't and had a go, playing with an injury and injections to keep going. That to me doesn't sound like a player who's not bothered. I think what the fans should do is get behind the guy and give him some encouragment, that's what he needs. We all may get a very pleasing suprise injury free, remember all the comments about McGoldrick when he came and he really put a shift in

Started off fairly well and got more average as the season went on, to the point where I didn't actually see what impact he was having in matches. However, I have hope he can improve with a better half and some experience/familiarity with the team.

New season and new start, for every player. Hope other fans think the same, but I can see the smallest error being well over reacted to, at every opportunity.

New season's about to start and people are already slagging off Seymour.

As posts have previously said, he played majority of last season injured and often like always struggled to defend of the right hand side because turner kept coming out the line..

So tbh, just let him play next season and see what happens
