this is why a sports psychologist is massively important, I'll keep saying it and people will still call it bullcrap despite the evidence, go ask a world cup winning coach (that'll be Clive Woodward btw) how important mental preparation is and how players need sports psychologists to get the best out of them.

You'll keep saying it and you'll still be wrong because there is no evidence. Woodward's England team won because they had a hugely experienced pack of forwards who knew how to retain possession. Then it was just a matter of time before the opposition committed an infringement and up stepped Jonny who could boot it over from anywhere in the oppositions half. A different sport, boring as anything, but undoubtedly effective (until Jonny got injured and the pack got old) and knack all to do with a sports psychologists. Woodward's psychologists weren't much use when he went into football were they?

Please do some research into Woodward
You may not be so convinced when quoting him

Have you tapped your mate Bellamy up for the Hull job seeing as you want rid of our current coach?

Quite agree with you. Though given that it seems a very bad injury that he's picked up a plan B might be in order if he doesn't come back as good. I sincerely hope he does of course.

And? We can only play what the competition is, I don't see anyone complaining on the standard for the when we won at Wembley.

The top teams maybe aren't as good, but the competition is more even than either, unfortunately it seems o be dictated by injuries.

I really enjoyed the game last night.

It's great saying release them both, but is there better out there that we could sign?

That team is as good as any this season, apart from Saints and if the lose Barba next year it would seriously weaken them.

I'd love to sign a couple of top forwards but I'm not due great out there and available, has anyone signed any for next season?

The option is there to pay a fee, Murdoch Masila wasn’t available but they paid a fee, Wire knew it was needed to get back in the mix. Also with marquee player ruling, salary cap can be gotten around.

Jones, Greenwood, Whitley, Sene Lefao to name a few have all been names mentioned, all would be an improvement.

Bellamy would be a Legend above all Legends ever at Hull FC
We’d name a stadium after him
Obsessed with excellence
I can’t say that of Radford and Last that’s for sure
FC are far too inconsistent
A photo of Bellamy should be in the dictionary under persistent
We can only dream of Bellamy type or Bennett
Hasler would be great and by now I reckon Justin Morgan would be truly ready
But we have current coach who seems to have done an good job a fair bit of the time but just seems to allow garbage performances too many times. I say a good job because I believe the players were also instrumental ie Ellis
Anyways far too inconsistent and that’s the coaches legacy after 4.5 years
