Our defence has been improved immensely this year on the whole, there's been the odd blip but was impressed by the reaction Gentle got when the play-offs arrived.
Attack needs the biggest improvement and our most important piece of recruitment will be Holdsworth's partner.

Cracking coach and i have absolute faith in him and AP to take us forward. But i dont like keeping crookes on the bench till the last 10 when our forwards are tiring. 2013 is gonna be a good year i reckon though

I think Crooks been on the bench apart from been cover for the rest of the backs, is just to give the kid much needed game time and experience in the big games such as that.

well said

This season we've progressed by 1 place up the SL table, 5 more competition points, and a million miles as a a club.

THE FUTURE'S BRIGHT, THE FUTURE'S BLACK AND WHITE.

A good first season for mr gentle,be interesting to see how his signings next season shape up.!

I must admit that for some reason, the beer is tasting rather nicer than on your usual Saturday night.


Enjoy your off season.

+ we have brought through some good young talent.

C Green
L Kent
J Bowden
B Crooks
T Lineham (not on Paul M’s squad list?)

Can't wait for next season already..

With our new additions, a few more announcements (well hopefully)and a full pre-season the future looks really rosy..

Thanks Mr gentle...

Stand up and take a bow you have brought this club up off its knees and given the fans a bit of pride back !
We can only get better with you at the helm !

hear hear

A noticeable difference from agar's clueless coaching

Well summed up. Some dignity restored after years of apologism, crapitude and negligence of youth development under Agar. Big test next year to see whether we can kick on. Can't wait.

1st time in 4yrs that i actually enjoyed going on the last match as i did the 1st....thanks PG...you have restored my faith in Hull FC.

You know you remind me of Wire under Paul Cullen.

we was but,like you,changed our coach who achieved more than the previous git did....

Certainly go along with that, I had become very disillusioned with Hull FC in general in recent years and may well have declined a pass renewal this year if things had not changed when Pearson took over.
Gentle(as well as Pearson) has been a breath of fresh air to the club and when you consider the injuries we have had the players we have released etc this season it is a wonder we even made the playoffs. But we did and at times this season we have seen glimpses of how Gentle wants us to play. We may not get the big name players we all want to see for next season but I have every faith in Gentle to bring in the players we need to improve our team as a whole.

He reminds me of Cullen.

Good job your opinion counts for Sweet FA.

Well done to Hull this season. Speaking to people at the start of the playoffs, I was predicting a Wire V Hull final (28-10 to Wire in the final

). Just a shame the fixtures went and spoilt it. I would previously have said that in a team game one person doesnt make that much of a difference...............then TS arrived at our place and rejuvenated Lee Briers. Maybe one man CAN make that difference.

It's been a very encouraging start to the Pearson/Gentle era. I think most of us would have been very satisfied at the start of the season with sixth place, a play off win and a respectable exit from the competition.

I've enjoyed this season and looked forward to attending games more than any time since 2006.

We have to move forward though, of course. I'd be disappointed to miss the top four in 2013 and a decent Cup run is required (although a little luck with the draw is needed there).

Looking at it from my corner I have to say P.G. has restored faith in me.The last few seasons I ended up going to games more out of loyalty than hope of getting anything.
Yes,we have had the odd blip this season,but we have seen passing,offloads and determenation,not 5 drives and a kick.Young players have been given a chance ,those who have look good prospects.
The new players coming in are also cause for optimism.
All in all I am glad P.G. is here,roll on next season.

Strange that ,as if any of us give a monkeys.

Very happy with how this season has panned out. We've seen some entertaining rugby, managed a 40/20 and seen a cricket score.

Onwards and upwards.

wire remind me of Hull under john kear

Nah, Gentle's articulate, unlike Cullen and not a smug like Smith.

For the first time in years, I have a great feeling about next year. For the last few, I've bought season passes for the family purely out of habit and loyalty. This year I genuinely wanted that pass. We're getting back on track and leaving the shadow of Agar's craptitude and lack of responsibility for the bad performances.

I can't wait for 2013. BEL13VE.
