Reading these comments I’m getting flashbacks to the posts from when we signed Isa.

Lack of size and pedigree and nobody was overly excited, some were bemused and none of us really saw where he fit in positionally.

I’m comfortable with him and his place in the squad at the moment.

He needs a bit of time and an opportunity to find his place.

He does remind me of a younger Isa playing with a smile on his face,full of energy and 100% commitment.

Inevitable's happened at Hull, Tony Smith gone. Wonder if Waney fancies another shot at club coaching

As a Hull FC fan I'd love Wane but I can't see it. Firstly I doubt the club can afford him and secondly, we seem such a basket case it's got to give any coach pause.

I think Wane would jump at the chance to completely rebuild the club. There's so much potential as a club, but needs a complete overhaul, starting with developing the right culture all the way through the organisation.

Hull can't afford to get the next coach wrong. They should essentially be saying to Wane, "what would it take for you to be the next coach?"

I think Wane would love the opportunity to build a club like Hull back up 'if' there was sufficient resources available to do the job properly but I'm not sure that is the case. I don't think Wane going to Hull would be good news for guys like Okunbor and Pele!

I wish somebody would come in to Hull FC and invest in the way the guys are doing at KR. The game needs Hull FC to be stronger than they are currently, that's for sure.

Didn't he price himself out of the Wire gig?

I'm personally just glad he's not gone to Leeds.

Wane comes across as a bit of a home bird and I cannot see him taking a job that would require him to relocate.

Unless they sort the ownership and ongoing financial issues it won't matter who goes there IMO

Haave to agree the club from the top down needs a huge rethink,Smith could have been the bloke to sort it out but no so back on the merry go round they go yet another coach will come and nothing will change.
