Tbf Last is only an interim coach thankfully.

Hopefully we'll see the season out with him and work over the off season to bring someone of calibre in.

Last looked like a beaten man last night it can't be pleasant for him trying to change the playing style, lift player morale and galvanise the team but yet we still turn out the same dross we witnessed under Radford.

Yes because Cas, under Powell, have won the LLS once and one CC final defeat, Radford achieved more...

Powell wouldn't be top of my list, but I'd have him over the current set up. Saying that I'd have just about any qualified coach who have some SL, Championship or NRL experience right now.

Imho: I think Powel has great player development skills but I think he seems to lack a little in team and game plan skills. They (Cas) can play some really good stuff at times, but other times they can leave you scratching you head.

In an ideal world, where finances aren’t precarious, I’d have gone for Wane (to get a grip on the culture of the club) or Fitzgibbon (already said he won’t break his contract, and will end up head coach in the NRL anyway).

I think if there is a change, it will need to be someone who is available, and in the country already (like Tony Smith at the Dobbins).



I wonder if the challenges facing the game will kill off APs energy and enthusiasm for the game. Wouldn’t surprise me.

Is Smith 'available' (wouldn't want him if he was though)

Not Smith specifically, but someone like that. Available and in the country.

It amazes me that people still expect that a new coach would jump at the chance of joining us.

Even if such a coach existed, the chances of it happening are nil.

It’s one of the bigger jobs in Super League. Many coaches would relish the chance in a normal situation. Covid has changed everything though financially.

Please explain why they wouldn't?



You know apart from; career progression, the challenge, the quality in the squad we have and potentially increase in earnings, why would anyone want to join us, you're right

Here you go again, there's a pandemic if you haven't noticed, the club is close to bankruptcy and the the future of the whole game is in doubt, who in their right mind would give up a job, move over to Hull and potentially risk everything?



Hope that's clear enough for you.

Think Last has been given an impossible situation.



He’s been handed someone else’s squad, and no matter what people say it was Radford who had the say in signings and how they played.

Ask Last if he’d have signed a luxury player (Fonua) or another forward
