Its only because its the reporters last match covering Hull FC.He wouldnt have dared do that if he was staying on.
The new guy Dan Tomlinson knows a lot more about R/L than this one so lets hope he says it as it is rather than suck up to the club and not criticise players or the performance on the field when its deserved.

The reporters are virtually embedded at the club, so no journalist will compromise the relationship.
Looks like a scorched earth policy from a journalist who’s free to say how it is in his final match.

Because they were successful here, both transformed Wigan & Saints
and both have won a GF in Australia & UK..
Now Maguire has gone, I wonder if Wests will try to lure Hodgson, somehow I doubt it..

Speak to Souths fans. Madge should've won more than one GF. Wests are a basket case and he's played his part in that.
Brown has been horrid at the knights and Warriors.
2 has beens.

We've still got tonnes of deadwood at the club. We could have Bellamy in charge and still get similar results. I'm confident BH can get rid of most of them this off season.

I'd say we currently have 4 players who are deadwood, unfortunately they all play in key positions.

Reading Brett's comments in the halfbacks it doesn't sound like he will drop them, ok yesterday we had more problems than these two, however these two have been awful all season.

If they play in the next game then he isn't the coach to take us forward IMO.

I think we've got a few more than 4.

He usually keeps his cards close, so I wouldn't expect him to bag anyone in public. I take your point on the halves, I wouldn't play Reynolds again. McNamara injuring his back has probably bought Gale more time than he deserves.

4 main issues,

Happy with centres and wingers and Connor.

Pack is decent enough and we have to potentially two good hookers.

If we signed French, Trueman and a decent 7 I think we would challenge the top 4.

Unfortunately don't think this will happen.

Plus still not convinced by the coach.

He gets one last recruitment cycle for me. I'm in the French is happening camp, I've been told by the same people who mentioned the Trueman thing.

The 7 would cap it off. I've been told that Gale won't be staying either, but not sure how a reserve grade 7 could come across without international appearances

I really hope French is true, but just don't see it particularly with Shaws and Peets comments.

On another note, just seen Touloses team, IMO they currently have a better 1, 6, 7 and 9 than we had yesterday.

100% take Connor out for Shaul and we've got the weakest spine in the league

Currently there isn't a first choice halfback worst than our 6 and 7, both have been diasters and two of our highest paid players too.

if Hodgson doesn't fancy Hookem, I'd be tempted to try and sign Riley Dean until the end of the season.

I think we will see some signing news soon, there are Magic shirts and tickets to shift and we need cheering up!

French would be an incredible signing, his pace is exactly what we need and it'd be a big sign that finances arent as bad as has been claimed
