I don't often post on here but I have been a reader of the forums for many years, but I just feel I need to make this post, I will probably get shot down for it, but here goes.

Last night as we all know was Richard Horne's testimonial Super League forum at Walton Club attended by some brilliant people from Super League, (BIG Eorl Crabtree (and he is one big barsteward), Rob Burrow, Ben Thaler, Shaun McRae, Richard Horne and some Hull Players (Big Sam was present).

I for one and I am sure other people who were there who read this will agree it was very poorly attended so much so I really did feel for the players, etc who had to speak in front of such a small crowd.

I know we are having a bad season and I am annoyed as anybody about it, but I just think it was a disgrace that so few people turned up to see what was a great line up and those people had taken time out from there personal lives to come and speak to us as supporters. I know there is alot going on throughout the year for Rich's testimonial, plus other recent events and money issues but I honestly thought this would have been well attendedfor someone who has served the club so well, sadly I was wrong.

On a positive note, what a night, Rob Burrow and Eorl Crabtree where brilliant speakers, Eorl says that Nathan Brown has him playing in a way he has never played before and loves it, where as in previous seasons he was told to play one way and one way only which he didn't enjoy (draw your own conclusions from that).
Ben Thaler really is a great character, spoke really well about the referee system and the lack of support the referees receive from the rfl, Rich Horne was his usual self and Shaun McRae was outstanding, such a brilliant speaker you couldn't shut him up, even afterwards there was a crowd of people around him quizzing him. Two things he did say, one is Jordan Turner is definatly leaving at the end of the season, which club he is going to he doesn't know, also he would love to return to coach Hull FC again one day.

Anyway, all in all a good night, just a shame it was poorly attended.

Absolute tosh, bit of decent coaching and continued decent recruitment and we will be fine, if we start changing everything we will be waiting for another few years to get back were we was only 2 years ago.

Absolute tosh. We've fallen behind most of superleague with our coaching set up. If you think a quick fix will sort that out then you're wrong.

That's a very, very rare occurrence and, again, was 'invented' many, many years ago in wrestling/martial arts. And it doesn't involve 'pumping it up and down', it involves bending the arm back whilst putting pressure on the shoulder and/or elbow. That's something that's happened in the game, accidentally or otherwise, for many years.

Again I disagree. We have the infrastructure in place and what we need is someone to come in with a vision of how they want the first team to play and the youth to be developed. Someone like Murray would be gone with a year or possibly two and then we would have to start again. Someone young and hungry that is highly rated as a top prospect would be ideal for them to come and mould the club in their way.

Like Shaun McRae said at the forum at Salford he is asked to play champange rugby with lemonade and you just cant do it. He said FC have every right to be challenging as we are a big club and are in a false position. I would take Shaun back to help Agar 2morrow he knows his stuff.
