[quote="bonaire":7pb7iltv] Lets face it would he be the DOR of Hull Fc if his father in Law was not the part owner of the club.NO [/quote:7pb7iltv] This is just the biggest non issue for me. If the owners had appointed Myler as the head coach or even a player you’d maybe have a point, but there’s no real blueprint that makes a successful DOR, I’m not sure every club even has one. Look at Radlinksi at Wigan, he didn’t work his way up to the Wigan job by being a DOR at smaller clubs or having previous experience in the role, he’s just a guy that the Wigan hierarchy obviously know and trust who has rugby experience who wanted to progress into a business role rather then coaching. Myler obviously has the trust of his father in law, and it’s essentially an off field business role, people in business appoint people they know and trust. It happens everywhere. Myler has the benefit of a very successful RL career, something that James Clark in a similar role lacked and what we all cried out for years, there’s no reason why he couldn’t be a great fit for the role. That’s not to say he’s going to be success and get everything right, as I said in far from convinced with recruitment but it’s been explained over and over again that there has to be some realistic expectations with players willing to sign and how we’ll have to build to being a play off side. We went for Lam, Sailor, Sullivan, Whitehead and likely countless others who didn’t want to come here. You mention Rovers, it’s cliche but they didn’t get there overnight. Players like Milnes, Wood, Ryan, Hadley, King etc all helped them build a solid squad in recent years, there’s no reason why players like Chamberlain, Holmes, Hardaker can’t do a similar job for us. It’s at best a 2-3 year project. Cross has lots of pace and has a proven record for a top 6 side over 3 seasons now. If we pull it off it’s the absolute best realistic signing we could hope for. We are not going to poach the best players from the likes of Rovers, Wigan, Wire, Saints etc it’s just not going to happen and we are unlikely to ever jump from 3 wins in season to contender's in less then 2-3 years without a miracle.

Saw Jordan Lane in the gym on Friday and he looks like he's put on some real size. Hopefully now he's got some competition for his place it will bring out the best in him.

Also hearing that Roman Dawson might have potentially done his ACL again. Absolutely devastating for the lad if true.

Hopefully makes him more effective taking the ball in.

Fantastic that he's so determined to get back on the pitch and also great news about the club and players rallying around for him. wish him all the best in his recovery.
