He will be doing the annual staff reviews too .

I Richie has now got full responsibility for re recruitment and the engagement of the new head coach I cant wait to see who he chooses. I'm very bemused by this business by Hull FC . Did Richie apply for this gig or was he " Headhunted" ? Yes I know!!!!but it's still very strange bit of business

Yes I worked at Leeds university they sang it for their ru sides and other sports I've heard them . Especially in their post game drinks in Original Oak in Headingley

Owner ?

Nepotism. Do they really need the investment from Thirkhill or did Richie get this gig on his own merit

What would your mate do if he heard students from university of Leeds singing " marching on together " when their teams are playing ? And not only football, because they do you know . By the way what is his connection the Giants and not Town and Leeds united ?

I did say I just noticed it as I was browsing .apologies for jumping the gun without reading in full . Wrists slapped

I've not read it all ,but elsewhere I've just seen something where Mr Pearson is talking about a relocation to a newly built stadium. All this speculation with new investors, new stadium etc . Does it sound a bit Evertonish?

New brooms Sweep clean we're all waiting with baited breath for your announcement

They're looking good just now just as they did with Powell

Good stuff wire and now I know my team are mediocre, but I dont feel as bad as last week

Warrington looking good

Although Leeds had Leeds united in the 50s and I would say 60s it was a Rugby League city. Leeds ,Hunslet and Bramley all flourished. Leeds played a cup round against Wigan 38000 whist although not on same day 8k . Leeds United did average crowds comparable to the 3 clubs together ,but they were unfashionable and the talking point was mainly about RL that made Leeds a RL town . All changed now it's now a football city

If Thirkhill is investing and the club are in need of it ,it sounds like if this is true by allowing nepotism this man could be taking control. Of course it could be here say at this point

Its awhile since Hull arguably the best .I think if they could go into another successful era they could fill their stadium

Well

His father in law Andrew Thirkill

I still admire and respect Tony Smith as a Leeds supporter I dont have to reason why .however getting 50 plus points scored against you week after week and no change ,no improvement. Are the players that bad that they couldn't keep the scores down ?

And the next one right in here please

Good point . We have seen similar before at Leeds during Wigan dominance in 80s early 90s signing so called stars and club goes bust

Take all the Smith in Smith out Smith in comments with pinch of salt very interesting to see how things are progressing with both teams . Result ? I dont know

I would like to say Bramley to resurrect the club ,but I realise that's not on since LCC destroyed the village and it lost its identity. Hunslet still going ,but similar happened to them . Halifax is still a RL town . I think Halifax

I'm not comfortable about losing our identity and " heritage " NRL? We gave them the game in 1908 .phew just saved my bacon with that correction

This . I dont like it at all

That must have been a rare Leeds good performance at boulevard in those day
