I met Mal Maninga and chatted with him after a
England v Aus match in Melbourne
They were doing a warm down drill the next morning
with Adrian Lam running it.
They were catching funny shaped small objects in a circle.
Hand eye drill.

Anyways Mal said he’d heard of my work as a Youth
Coach and that I was in Aus.
He was surprised I had turned down the offer to run
hull kr Youth- which is true !!!

I chatted to Cam there as well and reminded him of our long chat
In Macca’s where I implored him to sign for FC.
Cam couldn’t remember- true !

I met Craig Bellamy twice and he’s an intense guy.
We sponsored Storm so he came to our work twice in the 4 years as I was HOSTPLUS.

Tim Glasby played SoO simply because he played for Storm
Otherwise a typical workhorse type of player.
He worked with me as a trainee financial adviser.

He said I was a ‘David Brent’ style of manager.

I’ve been to see Storm train a few times and last year
I had 2 meetings about looking to coach at Storm with
The U16s. I went down and watched match at Pakenham.

I decided family time and golf was more important after a
long think.

So there you have it.






I have lost interest

Thankfully JC has 3-4 months with him

You should arrange to meet Jake on your next UK visitation?
He will take you down to his golf club and you'll be able to add him to your already impressive, burgeoning, 'I've met the stars' line-up. :lol:

* Just a small inconsequential point I hope you don't mind me correcting you on.........it's M'e'ninga with an 'e'.
Say hello to the Barometer' from me. :HIGHFIVE:

I think the days when 1-13 has any relevance are now long gone.
Personally, they can run around with letters or drawings on their backs if it means we once more start winning games on a regular basis!! I'm more interested in how they perform rather than what number they are wearing.


True, with them seemingly being issued so early (before all players have even arrived) it’s obvious that squad numbers are not too relevant in what Cartwright wants to do and no real indicator of his idea 17. I do think rewarding or even taking away squad numbers can still be a useful tool for player management/motivation or confidence building. You could look at it the other way and say that maybe it could be a big confidence boost for Barron getting the 2 jersey and maybe some sort of challenge laid down for him to nail down a starting spot. I remember it being a big deal and raised eyebrows years ago when a young Maguire and Burrow got given the 6 and 7 shirts at Leeds above some more senior players. They absolutely smashed it.

I was in Hull for 2 weeks in October - it’s pre season so can go a little Off T
Went to City Hotel on a Sat at 7pm - it was like the
Viking times.
My Aussie mate who came for a beer trip said his
Pint of Old Peculiar in Ye Olde White Hart was better than any pint of Guiness we had in Ireland.
ps Belfast is a fantastic night out !!

What’s with all the freakin vaping or smoking ??

Seems every other person in the new town is on fire !

Prospect St reminded me of 1973 Hull - what a let down

Humber Fish and the street there could be any Euro town

Also how can a coffee be £3.75 ? How is that even
Possible ?
Inflation has gone crazy at the bottom end of prices

I got a load of cheap Merch at FC in St Stephens

I had 3 great Sunday afternoons in Willerby snooker club - what a place that is ! Mr Pete the Landlord is top drawer
Old School. My mate Lucksy came in and ordered
an Egg Nog

Someone needs to wash that new bridge over A63 on the Marina
It was white I assume when it was out up.

Anyways I’m loving the pre season videos on
Facebook for FC
Having the ball in hand from day 1 is common sense
as we made so many handling errors last year and beyond.

Get the team Uber fit and rock solid on handling the ball

With him being all but certain to play prop this year i wonder if he's been allowed to put some weight on during the off season.

Good to see a few of lads out together having a coffee yesterday on a day off. Seems like it's been a really positive start to pre season.

I've heard some positive comments from a friend of one of the younger players who has said there's a complete change in things across the board. The club has been allowed to decline in so many areas, let's hope this is the start of a big change






The poor man's bonaire
