The current doom and gloom on here is terrible. Granted, the apathy on here is down to over a decade of underachieving, we had some success under Gregory and Harrison, but that was far too short lived. Then all the goodwork Harrison did behind the scenes was undone by McRae. If press releases are to believed, we can thank Parish for raising McRae's poor standards! If nothing else.



So here we are, a new coach brought in to do a job, Matt Parish. Was he given assurances the club hasn't delivered on, promised new players? Parish might want new players, but last season the board invested heavily in the current squad. That current squad, plus Cashmere, seriously underachieved last season. Prehaps, our new conditioner can bring some of that Wasps know how with him, and turn our players into man mountains.



The new recruits form Aus both come with good reputations, Jordan James is a good defender and should be good signing for one or two seasons. I know Boyle improved on his first season, but my main worry is why we can get more out of a real 'Steady Eddie' type player than we can Sidlow. Sidlow has far better skills and more size than Boyle, but gets exposed far too often, whetther in defence or attack. Maybe one of the coaching staff should be pointing out, if he wants another contract and to stay in the professional game, he needs to pull his finger out. Unless he wants to go and get himself a proper job. Sidlow and James, together, could be a scary looking pair of starting props.



If you wnat to cheer yourselves up, go and look on the Hull FC forum. Not that I'm taking delight at FC's troubles, but McRae is once again proving just how inept he is. Since McRae arrived they have Aspinwall, convicted for driving offences, and Seymour, a recovering alcoholic. You can blame our board for signing him to such a long contract, but at least his continuance of failing, appears, to be carrying on at Hull. Demonstrating many of our problems were down to McRae.

"a recovering alcoholic"



surely this deserves applause and support?

Yes, apart from he's just been caught drink driving and his whole VISA could be in jeopardy?



Nothing against the man, just an indication of McRae working his magic in the transfer market, again!!!!

Seymour was signed by Agar and the old board.

Without using any direct quotes,an interesting last paragragh in [url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/manly-sea-eagles-big-call-on-world-club-challenge/story-e6frexnr-1226197195647this press report[/url

I stand corrected. Although, the new board, thus far, don't seem to be doing much better.

Although that adds nothing to the overall rumour as it's been written by the same guy who tweeted the rumour two days ago.

and it is tomorrows paper, just looking for tonights lottery numbers

just a rehash of his original tweet ..

Obviously Dean Ritchie is the Neil Barker of the Aus Telegraph .



anyway here's the tweat in all its gory glory , and a couple of homes truths in there ...

Would the LF in the ter feed above be the ring piece that is League Freak?

If this is true,but I sincerely hope it his not.Will it mean another encore for Steve.

Yep, with Twitter and phone tapping it's no wonder some RL jouno's steal a living



just another reason to loath the convicts and to pray for a myth busting result on Saturday ..
