Last then completely failed at Castleford before getting the boot. He wasn’t the answer.

He inherited Radders legacy of giving his mates big contracts at two different clubs. Not advocating a return of Last but of the recent coaches he has been treated the harshest. I'd take 2020's 6th place and CC and Playoff semi's right now.

He did but if we’re blaming Smith & Gene as a collective for Hull’s failings (rightly so) then Last has to take some blame for Radford’s failings as his assistant. Especially since it was at 2 clubs.

Anyone who thinks Andy Last is the answer or even was first time around then they are on crystal meth

It seems anyone who’s been near the Club is tainted goods

The only answer is a Head Coach who’s so ambitious he doesn’t need man managing by AP , as AP can’t manage a morning shoite never mind a Head Coach

Also a new Head Coach who’s hung around discipline and ambition to win , not ambition to try hard if you lose

Who’s the best number 2 at Storm for example
That’s what we need

Obviously it's not that simple, but essentially that is what we need. Someone who has worked under a Bellamy, Cleary, Robinson etc, is highly regarded, and is now ready to take that step to being a first team coach. I don't even mind if they come here for a couple of years and then go back home. We just need someone who can set us off on the right path. Much like McGuire and Holbrook did for Wigan and Saints.

Granted this job is probably far tougher than the jobs those two inherited.

The players he has brought in are diabolical.Three fat forwards who struggle to play 15 mins if they stay on the pitch,all 3 must be this years must the worst overseas signings of the season in the whole of superleague.I thought tex hoy was terrific and I believe he was dropped the previous week,correct me if im wrong..

The agent that sold Okunbor and Pele to us must not be able to believe their luck

Re: Leigh at home : Sat Mar 16, 2024 10:27 pm  

That was really bad.
Tony Smith has a history of turning round every club he's been at.
We might be the club who finally breaks him. It would prove what a basket case our club is.
Not sure what the answer is, or if there is one at all. There are so many weaknesses across the squad.

Think that's a bit harsh on EseEse a few times today he drew men in and looked for the offload but mostly there's noone there in support.

Okonbur was poor, made no impact at all and Pele just seems wild and unfortunately with the ref changes we don't need wild erratic players.

Ese'ese hasn't done too much wrong, and whilst Pele has had a disastrous start discipline wise I do think he looks a handful when he's on, so the jury is out there for me. Okunbor looks like a pudding though. I'd be interested to see what he's like on the wing. If he's no better then yeah he will go down as a terrible signing.

Okunbor just seems too chilled out, most of his drives seem to have minimal effort and his tackle stats are probably boosted by him just being the third man in sticking the odd arm in here and there. Pele reminds me of Dylan Napa at Catalan, too much of a hothead and Catalan eventually got rid after one season
