Personally I saw it advertised a few times and was in Hull Dialy Wail last week. But as alot of people say a tenner is quite alot espeically at this time of year and with the current climate, which I can understand.
Just disappointed more were not there espeically with such a good lineup and what a cracking night it was.

Could have maybe done with posters up at the KC, direct marketing to a captive audience. I dont read the rag either.

And we've established you like young, untried coaches. If we hadn't just crapped out on the last 3 coaching appointments then I'd agree, however the last thing the club can afford is another poor coaching appointment so I'd say a proven coach who can come in and get the club going back in the right direction is a better alternative than an unproven coach who may be great but who may also be no better than agar. I'm guessing murray would take it on a 12 month contract whilst the club looked for someone more permanent

Maybe in a Director of Rugby role with a younger coach?
Shaun has already been the DOR at HFC and although he was here for a number of years, unfortunately we won nothing during his tenure at FC. He is now coaching at Salford and after leaving the Rabbittoes (again where he didn't see silverwear). I like Shaun, and agree he can talk a very good game.....but I would still prefer a coach who spends more time with the squad and a lot less on the tv.
As most who know me have a good idea of my thought on Eddie & Stevo and I think that Shaun would make an ideal replacement to retire both of them. He would boost sales of Sky using his knowledge of SL as well as the NRL with only Bill Arthur to act as the chap on the field with Phil et al.

You can not possibly say that, there is a big difference, Shaun McRae did a fantastic job for us, it took him a number of years to turn us into a competive team. He sold this club to many of the talented players that have put on the famous black and white in recent years like swaino and jason smith. He built the core of the squad that won the cup in 2005. Its not a coincidence for me that we won a trophy the first year after he left. He had some hand in our cup win of 2005 i dont care what anyone says. As for leaving for the souths he left for a club who had no chance of getting in the playoffs let alone winning the nrl. Regarding Salford, how many promoted clubs have you seen win at knowlsey road and headingley in the same year. So i think that somes it up pretty well.
Could McRae win us trophies?? We will stand in better stead than if Agar and Sharp are still at the helm.

we don't need an experienced coach to come in and get the club going again, the infastructure is there, it is only the playing side of the club that needs sorting, we need fresh, new and innovative ideas and an older coach will not bring this and super league shows it.
