I suspect it will be Smith assisted by Davidson.

I'd like to see a good championship coach given a shot to be honest, like Watson was at Salford, he didn't turn out too shabby.
I know Hodgson has been the master of his own demise but his descent was certainly helped by the senior players influence and for that I feel sorry for him.

I wouldn't want Wane here, strict disciplinarian but the not the style of rugby I'd like to watch.

There isn't any stand out coaches in the championship, maybe Lingard at Batley, not sure we could afford to take a risk on an unproven top level coach.

Tony Smith took Rovers to 11th in his first season and then 11th in his second season. Do you have the patience to wait 2 years to see improvement? I doubt it, you'll have sacked him by then.

Honestly I strongly advise you to stay clear. When he first joined Rovers it really felt like he was doing us a favour and he loved that. He is great while everyone is giving him love and affection but he really doesn't take criticism well at all. He ended up refusing to speak firstly to the CEO and then to Danny McGuire the very man who was instrumental in bringing him to Craven Park.

As for Stanley Gene if you are going to give him a big pay rise which no doubt you are, I'd say good luck Stanley you deserve it.

Yes, I'm sure Adam Pearson will take note of your advice.

Would Davidson not replace Hatton?

Smith with Gene and Ellis as assistants?

Thanks for your concern, but we are in a much better position with our squad and youth set up than when Smith joined Rovers.

Wonder how your NRL assistant will do, better hope he is no Sandercock.

A few do, although some are still celebrating the famous 16 win, great to think it might have done us a massive favour.

Who was the last person that came to Hull after getting sacked by Rovers?

I was thinking about this earlier, can't be many who've coached both clubs?

I was talking about Kelly

Re: Hodgson : Mon Sep 05, 2022 5:07 pm  

Also have we ever been coached by members of the same family? Brian and Tony Smith? Any more...
