I enjoyed that interview. Its early days and I'm as sceptical as anyone as you all know but I have to say that we have heard new coaches coming in new players coming in and at one time got very regular updates from our owner but rarely have we heard 24 minutes of constructive talk which showed as much an understanding of the dynamics between the fans and the team the issues within the playing group and the need for everyone either 'shaping up or shipping out'. The idea of appointing a new Coach sooner rather than later even if he can't start till next season is a really sound one and shows a deal of joined up thinking, lets face it the last two coaches we had appointed arrived to be presented with someone else's signings and thus ideas. Its early days and this is Hull FC we are talking about so actions will speak a lot louder than words, but as good a start as we could have wished for.

Could we not have briers AND McDermott?
Look at other sides in the SL and you'll see blokes who have been head coaches at assistant level, with inexperienced head coaches... just a thought

Because neither are going to their current role as an NRL assistant to be an assistant at Hull.

Only chance we have of getting either if they get the head coaches job.

I've just read Blake Solly's comments on Demetriou's departure . Seems one of the reasons he got sacked was his refusal to play younger players . This should be a red flag for us with the club focusing on promoting our own players .

Think it's O'Meley...

Maybe we should use the same tactic. There's plenty to choose from.
