We’ve appointed an Aussie coach, I think in the NRL they put a lot less emphasis on natural positions, outside backs especially seem a lot more interchangeable and clubs will sign say someone who’s playing on the wing but sign them to play centre or full back or vice versa because they think they’ve got the skill set. Also a lot of 6 or 7’s make the switch to what they call the ‘14 jersey’ as the interchange dummy half. I’m not saying the recruitment is particularly great or that they’ll all work out, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Cust, Sezer, Rapana and Cartwright Jrn have all played under Cartwright Srn. I’m sure he knows the skill set and trusts them to play the positions he has in mind. He could be just plain wrong of course but when you appoint a coach you have put a certain amount of trust in their judgement in players even if working under a DOR.

I think he was an assistant right back to 2005 under Kear.

He was in the staff but not sure he was the main assistant, we had Jon Sharp, James Webster was there for a spell, then Radders was with Gentle. There was also Andy Hay for a bit. Lost track of what happened when in all the mediocre disappointments

| Quote ="Jake the Peg"Dunno but he doesn't seem to have had much positive effect under macnamara either. If he can't influence the coach he shouldn't be in the position anyway.
I just think it' a lazy, uninspiring appointment when we could have really gone out of our way to find someone who can make a difference. it's the same as signing briscoe, chamberlain, hardaker, cust, sezer and rapana. In isolation they're not bad signings it's just the more of that ilk you sign the further from where you could have been that you get.
Next season we're probably going to be playing a full back in the centre, a winger at full back and a half back at hooker. Why not just sign players to play in their natural position?'"
too much sense there Jake
you will soon be the new whipping boy of the Hull FC forum
And never mention that HKR are a good team

And I guess because in Wane's absence he was England Coach this year against France

The word “assistant" gives it away, he won't be running things he'll be working under the direction of the head coach. I think it's generally accepted that the appointment of Coach Cartwright is a good one so his judgement should be trusted. He's appointed the current England assistant, who would you suggest as a better option?

Left in 2020 amd no one can argue we haven't got significantly worse since he left, even under Agar, things didn't seem as bad as this. The last two assistant were Gene and Purtill,one is unemployed, the other was managing Leighs women's team.

Yeah, but there are reasons for that, one was Radford and the other has been poor recruitment by McNamara this year, who I think is a massively overrated as a coach.

OK, so we've established that when things are going well it's down to lasty and when they're not it's down to the head coach. Good to know

Be great if you could read, instead making things up, I've not said that are all, he has been at Catalans for a year, not much longer at Cas vs years 20 at Hull, better to judge him on that toke, where they were ups and downs, but all those years were better than thos year.
Definitely the most negative person on here, you skill to find the negative for anything that happens at Hull, is actually impressive.

| Catalans lost Pearce and Tomkins last winter and as we are finding creative players who are leaders are very hard to find right now, so it's not surprise they have dropped off. They also have halfback who isn't playing much at the moment...

For what its worth I'll tell you what I know I'm told that its agreed and now the whole thing has moved into the hands of the solicitors (the background from whence my information comes) and that is a protracted business of 'toing and froing' and I'm not going to say its done and dusted but it is certainly really well advanced, of course until its announced it is embargoed and nothing is a dead cert till then. That's fact, but what I'm interested in is the belief that all the signs for me point to a new owner rather than an investor, but that's just me hypothesising and not based on any hard facts or anything I've been told. Just hearsay and putting two and two together. Plus it amazes me who would want to buy us right now!

I've heard something similar. Along the lines of AP is stepping down and Thirkill will be the new owner.
Be interesting to see how it plays out.
