Got to go for me. Last year Hodgeson said (I think) that you can tell what players think of their coach by how they defend. Well the lads said it all today.

Pearson is out to recoup some cash. Don’t think we’ll see any real change until relegation is a real threat, which it will be in the next few years if we don’t go back to licensing.



Can see them chanting “since 2017” at us in 30 more years.

I seriously can’t believe he substituted Hookem for Balmforth and put Houghton to scrum half. The young lads head must be in bits. The game had gone, he should have been given game time. If anyone should have made way, it should have been Johnstone. Hodgson’s lost the plot for me, time to go. A few around me kept saying, “what can he do with 10 out injured” but he had 21 fit players but seems unable to energise them. Same old same old, slow play the ball, zero line speed and stupid bloody mistakes. The Dobbins will annihilate this rubbish next week on this showing.

What was gained from bringing Hookem off?. Baffling. Keep him out there and he’ll be better for the experience.



Hodgsons decisions like this has put doubts in my mind he’s up to it.

if ever we needed a boost on the transfer front we need it now,even a signing for next season.just something positive amid the doom and gloom.whats happened to this club since 2017?.no real signs that we are going foreward.we ve had some appaling performances last few year,this was one of the worst.

Not defending Hodgson because he made some baffling decisions today but hookem took a heavy knock to the head first half and I did see him signal to the bench just before he came off so possibly forced to come off

I’m not sure anymore after that , ok we have a few injuries but on paper it didn’t look a bad team . Been saying it for years but we are still mentally weak , we look for excuses when things go against us . Big clear out needed , mainly the old guard, but easier said then done . There’s a good coach without a job for next season not to far away , probably our best chance of getting one for a long time instead of assistants . But can we afford to do it ! Or does Brett deserve more time .

BH said he had a head knock on humberside

Hodgson/Radford...or whoever comes in next, some of the players we have atm are mentally weak or know they wont get dropped no matter how bad they stink the place out!

I was going to add “unless he was injured” but thought better of it, seeing as how he didn’t go for concussion assessment. Hodgson’s bench decisions are bemusing at times. I stand by what I said, no line speed, slow play the ball and unfortunately no decision makers. Gale won’t make haypence of difference, if he recovers next week, his confidence is shot. Slow slide down the table and finish 9th but may well finish 10th. The season’s gone as I said on another thread, the day after Connor was injured. Unfortunately Hodgson’s one dimensional and we’re in another dimension now.

Would things seriously be any worse under Andy Last?

Who knows?



We needed a clean break from Radford/Last era.

It was the correct decision to not give the job full time to Last.



Yes we had that win at Warrington in the play off but a reminder of some other results



Salford L 18-54

Warrington L 12-37

Wigan L 4-36

Salford L 22-28

Leeds L 22-40

Wigan L 2-29



We needed a clean break. Last had been on the coaching staff 15 years. It just looks like we may have got the replacement wrong.

Reckon Tony Smith will be looking for work soon

Uber for Brett ! It was time after the loss at Rovers and times way beyond up now

Sack him now and save another season of the dreaded 'trasition' we have gone backwards

Sack him now and what happens to the recruitment?



Last time we didn't have a coach Shaul got a 3 year deal...



Stick with Hodgson and get rid of the players.

Think out of all the issues at the club at the moment, Hodgson isn’t the biggest one. But Jesus, he doesn’t help himself does he?



Sorry for player bashing, and I appreciate we have injuries, but what is Johnstone doing at 13? Simply not good enough and not big enough to be a 13.



Mcintosh, what does he actually offer other then poor defensive reads and poor conversions?



Danny houghton, I’m fed up of slating him. Senior player who should step up putting in another poor performance, and then gets rewarded with 30 minutes in the halves?! Do me a favour. Feel sorry for balmorth been chucked into that sh*t show.



Any glimmer of hope for this season has gone for me, another year of a squad max on the cap failing to deliver.

Good piece in HDM by Dan. Sums it up for me. Hodgson not going anywhere by sounds of it. Clear our started and gonna continue.

Don't think AP has the desire/money to pay off Shaul and Taylor but they should be replaced, along with the rest of the deadwood.



Sack Hodgson and they'll do the same for the new guy.

Dont need to pay them off, at the end of the season, put other clubs on notice that they are available, no fee, the likes of fev or Leigh will have slim pickings come November so may take a punt

Easier said than done, see Johnstone and Bowden end of last season.

Maybe that tells us that we really do have a lot of deadwood at the club

It was obvious last season.



Flip side is, why would they leave for a paycut?
