I can not for the life of me understand why anyone would appoint this loser as their coach. He has done the square root of nowt during his tenure with us. If things aren't bad enough for Wakey, their linked with our coach - gutted for em!

Easy mistake to make as windley looked about 53 even though he was only about 28.

June 88 - Jan 91: Brian Smith, the board's cunning plan pays dividends. Takes a side who where everyones favourites to go down and turned them into a top 4 side. Can't remember where he came from, but I don't seem to recall him arriving as an ARL head coach (though he was when he left).

Came to us from Illawarra IIRC

Its a relief to be right, thought black and whitey had unearthed a dark Windley family secret. Was gonna ask Phil some pretty searching questions when i next saw him at Wests.

Ah yes, think you could be right on that one, now you've jogged my memory.
What about Tony Gordon and Peter Walsh? Can anyone recall where they were plying their trade and in what capacity before we had the foresight to employ these two titans of the game.

Hadn't Walsh coached at Workington before us ? Or was it the other way round ?

Tony Gordon had been at London Crusaders. Peter Walsh was at Workington, IIRC. I think both came from those clubs to Hull.

Clearly sights were set high, eh?
