Mcrae has a job for life @ hull now he knows the ropes as ss has probably shown him.

The difference between the mcrae when he was at hull fc as head coach and then salford was the standard of players! At hull we had quality players like jason smith, richie barnett, swain, mcmenemy, unlike salford who had the odd individual who shone! we played the most entertaining rugby in years with bomber in charge, including a whipping of your own team

Mcrae will have nothing to do with the first tesm coaching, he will be pearsons advisor with his contacts in the game

My comments had disappeared
the only contacts McRae has are Baldy and Wiggy at Sky
he allowed Salford to become the most unfit team in SL, and drove out any up and coming good young players such as Jordan Turner (I wonder if he will move on again?)
Nothing to do with the players more about the coach, one game plan and no idea why it didn't work.

I am just speechless how like mentioned above there are 18 pages on the hull forum about him,it is as if the bloke is some sort of living legend/god type figure over there !!! did we miss out on something in the near 4 terrible/miserable/depressing/lack lusture/ etc etc years he was head coach of our beloved club or what??

Ironic how McRae walks into a job at Hull while our previous coach who on the whole did a very impressive job does not appear to have any chance of a super league return even though hes made a huge success of the Batley job.

Aye we love bomber over here, good guy and we played some real class rugby with him in charge, also it sounds like he won't have much involvement in coaching, he will be more involved with bringing youth through (which hasn't happened for a little while) and advising our owner and will be heavily involved in signing and resigning players that our new coach wants. Leaving our new coach to focus solely on playing matters.

If you are leaving him with your youth they will stagnate get bored and leave like our 1st generation.

As for attractive rugby it was Jason smith if I remember correctly pulling the strings so I'd thank him and mcrae assistant @ the time for your style of rugby because SM style makes watching paint dry exciting

McRae is a pompous, disingenuous buffoon.

Re: Shaun McRae to Hull : Thu Sep 08, 2011 7:44 am  

Are we talking about the same shaun mcrae,(the mighty fc), is that the same shaun mcrae who was with you for 5 years and never made the playoffs.Short memories.?

Re: Shaun McRae to Hull : Thu Sep 08, 2011 8:04 am  

Your spot on there "RSFT". I was thinking the exact same thing. Big Karl has done wonders at Batley, what a difference a decent coach can make.

I never mentioned a playoff spot, all I said was that we played some really good, entertaining rugby under Bomber.
