Add to them the most exciting batch of u19's in a generation, with the likes of Logan, Abdull & Lancaster ready for first team already with the emergence of Downs, Fash and Turgut, even Matongo and it'll make for a cracking season.
And I don't disagree...but its still Radford pulling the strings, the same small number of backroom staff (who's only coaching experience is playing and coaching at HullFC) coaching the basic skills, the set piece moves etc.
Quality players like Pritchard & Manu should perform regardless of the coach, and I agree that Fonua & Tuimavave may add something unexpected to the mix. But its the remaining squad/backup players who need someone to help lift their game and get them out of the mediocre displays they are used to. We need someone to turn players like Green & Bowden who have been in the team a few years and done ok but not set the world alight, and push them on to the next level.
