58 going on 59 and his only head coach appointment which was a long time ago ended in the wooden spoon.

What happened to the preference for an English coach or at least someone with experience of Super League? But of course that was last week's policy!

Nervous?

But I was talking about Hull FC and yet another terrible appointment. I warned you about Smith you wouldn't listen now I am warning you about Cartwright,

He has 'assistant' written all over him.

I am warning you this has Small club mentality written all over it, we won the Steve prescott trophy last year against the then world champions but its not a major trophy (no disrespect intended to Steve Prescott, Clive Sullivan et al) so we didn't really bother other than the 2 competition points. But I suppose if you haven't won anything for coming on 4 decades you'd cling to any little thing I guess.

I had a similar conversation with a rovers supporting mate the other week. He was telling me how great they are and how bad we are then I pointed out that despite him now having 3 grandkids, he was still at school and a spotty virgin the last time rovers won a real trophy
