That statement seems to assume that we could go further with someone else. But could we?
Not in years to come you understand. I mean NOW.
In years to come with a conveyor belt of young talent in full production, with previous years kids now established as first teamers, the club better established in Super League, with the (necessarily) overpaid players of the early years long gone........yes then we can go further.
TBH Hull FC have all that in place NOW, have nearly double our gates and yet still they are struggling.
So can we go further right now simply by changing the coach? With our youth policy still only showing green shoots, with the ground improvements still incomplete, with the club still spending more than it earns? With the break even figure of 10,000 still a distant dream?
Do you think the way to go forward is a new coach? A coach who is probably the 2nd or 3rd most successful we have had in our history.
The big picture is a large canvass. I ask you to step back and look at it.

Top post. Rovers fans have adopted a sort of "entitlement" outlook, expecting season on season improvement (perhaps not surprisingly given Morgan's "we can win the Grand Final" statement in January), despite the obvious signs that bigger clubs who finished lower last season were making clear and strong improvements in the off season (Wigan, Warrington, Bradford) and Huddersfield were consolidating well under Brown. In that context, to be 9th, joint 8th with Wakefield, isn't too bad. When you consider you've lost Cooke as well, and Galea's struggled with injury, it's not surprising you've toiled a bit to unlock defences.
Both Hull sides need to recognise that we're miles off Warrington, Wigan and Saints. Miles off. Both out of the cup, both will contest a lower play-off position at best, and therefore the only thing left to play for is the 2nd derby. Another season of mediocrity, I'm afraid.

The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car? a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little.
