I do have a degree of sympathy here for Tex Hoy.

I've always had the feeling that he is one of those 'confidence' players, one who maybe needs an arm around the shoulder on a regular basis in order to get the best out of him.



I do wonder what he would look like in a better side, one which is on the front foot a little more and could therefore exploit his skills better than we have. It would be interesting to see how he went in a team like Leeds who tend to play a fairly open expansive game. Used correctly I still think he would be a worthy addition to most SL sides (but not us!).



I know some on here will say it should be up to him to 'knuckle down' and do the job he's paid for, but it's a two-way situation. Yes, the player has a responsibility to work hard, but the club (specifically the coaching staff) also have to create a working environment which will get the best out of the players, as in any workplace. I doubt whether going to work at Hull Fc is a particularly enjoyable or inspiring environment right now.



Wrong player at the wrong club at the wrong time would seem to be the epitaph to his time with us. Let's face it, if any of us (whatever our occupation is/was) were working for a company and the prospects for advancement were looking decidedly shaky, I think virtually all of us would cast around for better employment opportunities. Why should a professional sportsman be any different in that regard?



To me Hoy leaving the club is symptomatic of wider issues currently surrounding us. The way the club is being run, the direction of travel (downwards and backwards basically), an everyday work experience which is probably dull and uninspiring, an overall feeling that this is a club/company going nowhere.

Who, given those circumstances, wouldn't want to move on elsewhere?

seen that aswell, also going back and forth with fans in the comments

2 NRL signings and possible domestic recruits incoming according to the YP which suggests Carlos being released, or Okunbor. Or, it could be a British player coming from NRL

Take it with a pinch of salt Adam feeding journalists a load of rubbish who will listen and print it.

Seeing is believing and the proof is in the pudding as they say, it wouldn't be the first time that this sort news has been released by the Adam and the club giving fans (false) hope only for it to not transpire or even be a reality.

I would hope Adam and Clark don't think that words no matter how positive sounding will appease the fans without backing up the words with actions and delivering on the promises.

We already know. I'm surprised you didn't because you do spend an inordinate amount of time on here.

If he says they are both over 6ft 4 again then we know it's a pack of lies

Adam has apparently spat his dummy out with HDM because of Sky's cap piece, which they basically just repeated what they had said

Wonder if that was Tarquin’s mysterious email from the club

Not sure what would gained from lying. We have no season passes to sell, not even a home gane for three weeks, not saying its true, buy can't see the point in making this up at this time.

No it was the East Yorkshire business consortium's takeover that was the good news
