He's coming over for a stint in pre season. Not sure where this leaves Jason Davidson. Hopefully he'll be another to leave.

On paper looks a fantastic appointment, but I'd like to know more details from the club, think we all know it's not full time and in a consultancy capacity. Will he be here for pre season training as this is key fir me particularly this year, hopefully ve here at least in person in the middle of the year too.

This is something the club should have mentioned in there press release IMO.

Interesting article from Connor, stating Andy Last is the coach is the coach that got the most out of him, think Last is a really smart and under rated appointment.

I'd have liked us to take a gamble on Connor and played him Centre, but can understand the reason we haven't made a move.

This is another example of the club being disingenuous with the fans, not mentioning its very part time and mostly remote. Myler has already started taking pages out of Pearson's playbook.

Why can't they just be honest with us ? Its still a positive but they are just setting more massive expectations from what is a part time, remote appointment.

Totally agree, just say what it is, it's almost like they are trying to hide it and the fans have only found out through another journalist.

This would still be very positive news (especially if he is running pre season, does the NRL pre season start later than ours?), but its like they have tried to turn something positive into a negative with their cloak and dagger behavior.

Last season Manly started pre season on the 4th November, which must be similar time to us, you have to wonder how much time he will be here, surely Manly aren't going to give him 8 weeks off.

Wouldn't we be better just getting in a new S&C guy fulltime to work with the club face to face all year?

Even if Clarke comes across for a couple of weeks assesses the players needs and fitness requirements then designs plans to get the best out of them it's still a positive, as long as they stick to the S&C plans and advice while he's not there.

This my concern (and t maybe addressed by bringing in additional people or Ellis taking on a more hands on role). But this is currently our head of performance https://www.hullfc.com/team/first-team/ ... n-davidson And our head of our S&C https://www.hullfc.com/team/first-team/ ... om-bennett Doesn't really fill me with confidence, either of those in the positions they are and they seem to be there as one was a mate of smith and the other because he has been at the club a long time.
