Now if that is who I think it is not someone to be messed with on or off the park? Good prop when he is on form.

| So all AP needs to do is drop down a division, or two and his projections of top 4 could well become reality.

Looking at that coaching team you may not be far off the mark.
We need to improve attack, how do we do it, I know get Radford to shout at them, that'll work.... Looking to me like we're not the only club finding finances hard to come by.

Paying off Gentle and appointing Tony would suggest otherwise.

Not really, paying gentle off although an outlay now will be cheaper than actioning his signings he would want going forward. Tony will be cheaper than the fat one and radford needs someone to do that cos he's too thick to do it on his own. Still if its looking dodgy he can always instill fear til it gets done. All gone very 1970s management style.

Aye and if we had sacked Sandercock and appointed Chester we would have had the club in administration and gone bust within minutes on the FC forum.

What signings? Our recruitment's nearly done and were spending full cap.

I think it definitely sees a step change in philosophy. He can harp on all he likes about challenging top 4 and winning trophies but appointing Radford suggests he’s going more for a consolidation approach with a view to the long game. Nothing wrong with this approach but it would suggest he’s past the phase of throwing money at the likes of an Ellis. This could be for numerous reasons but the likely ones are that he’s got fed up of throwing the cash around, whether he can afford it or not is another matter.
The tag line seems to have gone from ‘Season of Promise’ and ‘Believe’ to one that is more ‘patience’
Nice idea if it works but I do think it could be a serious rethink time mid season if it goes a bit pear shaped.

If your recruitment is almost complete and your at full cap you seriously need to have a look at value for money. Rovers allegedly are not at full cap again this year and according to certain individuals we still have 3 signings to announce.

I don't think our value for money was that bad overall. Looks like 2 props in for 2 props, 2 back rowers in for 2 back rowers, winger in for a winger and up grades to some of the brightest talent in SL.
Won't be the best recruitment in SL but the emphasis needs to change to youth.

| Wonder how many of the Hull Fans will now laugh at us for deciding to put emphasis on our home grown and value for money signings now. First they sign our players now they use our ideas.

Are you suggesting we weren't looking for value for money?

| You may have been looking but I don't think you got many this season. For example Galea and McDonnell. Or your club just has a different definition of value for money.

Theres plenty of players in the league that didn't offer value for money, but that's hindsight.

But you didn't need hindsight with those 2. You just had to look at their injury record.

Some times risks are taken, Jason Smith had horrendous injury problems with us but went back to the NRL and performed brilliantly.
Hkr have just signed 2 players with injury problems in the past, Wigan with Bowen. The list is long.

Alreadly discussed, I still have no problem with his signing. Feka's a bigger risk.
