The feel good factor comes from having two guys in charge who have money and its money the club need to turn this around.
A few big up player reports in the HDM may excite the optimistic and deluded on here but reality is the squad is poor quality put together by a novice whos first major mistake is now seen signing a crocked Abdul on a lucrative three year deal.
You only have to look at our backline of Barron,Hardaker,Chamberlain and Briscoe to see how poor most of Ritchies recruitment has been and if Cross is signed its hardly a major step up.We should be aiming higher and showing R/L that we have ambition and the financial backing of two wealthy owners.
Quality not quantity.He didnt have to sign a player just because he thinks there is no one else around.Get off your backside and find what we need
Lets face it would he be the DOR of Hull Fc if his father in Law was not the part owner of the club.NO
My feeling is we have wasted a building opportunity for 2025 which because of the length of contracts will undoubtably effect what we can do in 2026 when that year should have been the real step up year with three quality possibly marquee players accquired.
Thats highly unlikely now unless we have another large player movement out and that means paying off several contracted players to make room which again costs the club money.
As for me being a Rovers fan thats way off the mark and anyone can see that by simply checking my profile but what i will say is that they have a well laid out strategy for the future a very good coach,lots of ambition and have put together a very good squad for 2025.
Will we get anywhere near defeating them on the pitch i very much doubt it


Honestly I’m not a rovers fan :roll:

This is just the biggest non issue for me. If the owners had appointed Myler as the head coach or even a player you’d maybe have a point, but there’s no real blueprint that makes a successful DOR, I’m not sure every club even has one. Look at Radlinksi at Wigan, he didn’t work his way up to the Wigan job by being a DOR at smaller clubs or having previous experience in the role, he’s just a guy that the Wigan hierarchy obviously know and trust who has rugby experience who wanted to progress into a business role rather then coaching. Myler obviously has the trust of his father in law, and it’s essentially an off field business role, people in business appoint people they know and trust. It happens everywhere. Myler has the benefit of a very successful RL career, something that James Clark in a similar role lacked and what we all cried out for years, there’s no reason why he couldn’t be a great fit for the role.

That’s not to say he’s going to be success and get everything right, as I said in far from convinced with recruitment but it’s been explained over and over again that there has to be some realistic expectations with players willing to sign and how we’ll have to build to being a play off side. We went for Lam, Sailor, Sullivan, Whitehead and likely countless others who didn’t want to come here. You mention Rovers, it’s cliche but they didn’t get there overnight. Players like Milnes, Wood, Ryan, Hadley, King etc all helped them build a solid squad in recent years, there’s no reason why players like Chamberlain, Holmes, Hardaker can’t do a similar job for us. It’s at best a 2-3 year project. Cross has lots of pace and has a proven record for a top 6 side over 3 seasons now. If we pull it off it’s the absolute best realistic signing we could hope for. We are not going to poach the best players from the likes of Rovers, Wigan, Wire, Saints etc it’s just not going to happen and we are unlikely to ever jump from 3 wins in season to contender's in less then 2-3 years without a miracle.

Wasting your time, had it in for Myler from the start and won't give him a chance.

Had the chance to say hid views to Myler at the forum, but didn't go and chooses to moan amd complain but offers no solutions, ideas or anything of value to this forum.

I don't like how coaches talk in riddles at times about injuries, think it would be best if Abdul just gets the operation now and then can get a good run of games for the club later in the season.

Wonder if Salford would let us loan Sneyd whilst they sort their finances out...

This argument is poor for me because the whole situation on recruitment is summed up in one sentence. If you were an up and coming or even an established success in Super League at the end of last season when talent was in short supply and every team was looking, would you have come to Hull FC? Because of the salary cap you can't pay phenomenal amounts to several players, so across the board I think we have probably compared with this time last season, got the best we could get!! For me, its certainly a lot better squad.

Hull really needed a clean slate after last year. With new ownership, a new coach and a squad that has been rebuilt very quickly, you have got that.

The fresh start is definitely a positive but it does mean that this year and probably next year, to a lesser degree, will have to be about getting foundations in place.

Myler’s job, so far, could be seen as easy or difficult depending on how you look at it - because what else could he do?

Money can accelerate a rebuild but in fairness the new owners have already put in quite a bit, by RL standards, just to stop the club from going under. It’s easy to think ‘what’s a few million here or there, when you’re that wealthy?’, especially when it is somebody else’s money. It’s worth remembering that a lot of that wealth will be in businesses, investments and property that they won’t want to liquidate, rather than sat in current accounts waiting to be spent on transfer fees or big marquee wages. They won’t want to be embarrassed and I’m sure there’s plenty enough to make a difference over time. But the ‘no money out for 3 years’ thing feels like it was included in Pearson’s statement to temper expectations. Possibly, optimistically. :)

Is he having the procedure? If so that’s not too bad considering the SL season starts in 6 weeks?
