Just another quick post again. We won on our trip to La France. Thats 3 wins on the trot so things are looking up! Our next game is at home to Wigan, complete with new coach Brian Noble. It will be interesting how he goes at Wigan, without a big team to steamroller the opposition with.
Our new coach arrives on Thursday. so we'll see how we go over the next few weeks as we have some pretty tough games coming up.
On a personal note, I made a booboo, my new niece's name is spelt 'Kathryn' I did try and post a pic of her, but it wouldnt work. ah well, I'll have a go next time.

Vieux Fidele, nous avons traversé la prairie.......(Post #16)

Hello all.
Easter was a good time for the lads, we won both games. My brother and I couldnt think when we last did an Easter double. Its amazing how a new coach's arrival can concentrate minds.
Our next game will be in France playing the Catalan Dragons. It will be a hard game, they can play some very pretty stuff. That leads me to the title of this post. Old Faithful, we roam the range together, translated into French.
Dont anyone say my posts aren't educational!
Congrats to my brother and Julie on the arrival of Katherine.... yet another little Hull fan :)

Just a short post today. We have a new coach at Hull, an Aussie called Peter Sharp. He's one of our ex coaches, Brian Smith's, no 2 at Parramatta. Not well known but well reccomended. I know a lot of FC fans wanted a more high profile appointment, but I'm quite happy really. I liked the style of rugby we played when Smithy was in charge, and they must have a similar approach to things as he's had him as his no2 at 2 different clubs.
I'm for giving him a fair shot. Welcome to Hull Mr Sharp! :)

Well chaps! What a week it has been in the life of Hull FC. One thing you can never call them is Dull. (There is some person who frequents a certain forum I do that calls us the Dulls. God knows where he lives...Tibet??)
Well it started with defeat at Bradford, so our defence of the Challenge Cup lasted the pace didnt it?? To be fair our performance was much improved, but just wasnt good enough. Then rumours started to fly about our coach, John Kear's, position. It then leaked out that his contract would not be renewed at the end of this ongoing season. Anyway he came to an agreement with the board and has left the club. Now this hasnt really suprised me to be honest. Our results have just not been good enough this season. Although all teams go through bad patches, it was the manner of the defeats that worried me. Also rumours flying about pointed to the fact that John Kear had lost the dressing room. It does seem to me we need someone in the job who could sort out certain lads who like a 'good time' We have to wait and see what develops. Meanwhile we entertain the Leeds Rhinos on Friday. Crikey, cant say I'm looking forward to that. I am hoping the fans will rally round and turn up and support the lads. Folk come and go but Hull Fc stays. The club is the main.
