Fair enough but it’s perhaps not done out of spite but to help his club. Not everything is done to spite Hull FC -my team. I’m sure we’ve recalled players early because we’ve needed them. I think DBs comments re Asiata were unnecessary to air but I still like his enthusiasm for his team. He contributes to keeping/getting RL noticed. We need characters like soccer have Klopp, Gladioli etc. Like him or not we need folk like John Wilkin who care for the game. Look at snooker you could argue it’s a dull game but the controversial characters eg O’Sullivan and the great commentators just enhance/lift the game. Boy RL could do with Barry Hearn

Wasn’t Eddie Hearn sniffing around at some point

Re the Coach I’m not sure that we’ve looked at a number of the names that have been in media such as McDermott & Briers etc. I’m probably wrong but not sure we’ve heard the last of Rowley.

Whoever comes in has a real job on their hands and think due to the size of the club the media outlets will link us to just about anyone.

It's going to be Grix, isn't it?

Why is that so bad? People talking about bringing Briers in happily who's never been a head coach yet we've got someone here who knows the players and could be the next best thing but if he's not given a chance then how will we ever find out? He's now got a DOR above him sorting contracts and players issues and if given a decent backroom and coaching and conditioning team I believe he could be a success.

Rumour when Salford released that statement was they did it to quiten the media attention so they could negotiate without all the stuff in the media and on the quiet.

I agree, also we are now spending money so if Grix was to say get us up to even the dizzy heights of say 8th and in the playoff chase next year we should stand a better chance of getting the coach we want as we'd be seen as a club back on the up

Apparently we've spoken to Matt Adamson (whoever he is).

Saw that on SARL, just looks like another name plucked from thin air

More like he's given his name to press, had a Google and he linked himself to the Cas job last year. Apparently not had a big job since Fiji in 2018
