Eggsbloodyzactly.

2010-2012 he had the best budget and resources in the league. From 3 Grand Finals and 3 NRC Comps, he won one from six and has form for blowing the big one.... repeated again three years ago in SL. Ridding himself of the "nearly man" tag will always be the monkey on his shoulder....

That said, at both Fev and Cas he took both teams to the top of the table to perform consistently, got a good team spirit going and played entertaining rugby. A nice bloke n'all.

If he can do that for us, I wouldn't complain at all. I honestly think he could completely transform us if he comes. 

That means it won't happen.

Guttered if true.  Seems an odd time for Orr to have left to further his coaching career elsewhere.  

Would like to see Cas make a play for Danny Ward if so.

Well you have a point there.

Didn’t you recently get rid of a coach that not only get you to finals but actually won some of them ?

In 2 of the 6.5 years he was here. In the other 4.5 years, we didn't even make the playoffs and got stuffed along the way.

It's the league form that needs addressing first.

Oh to be a successful nearly man... to get to finals but still deemed not good enough by some non nearly men...

To be fair I do feel some of the disquiet from Hull fans. There is no club contending for honours that have been whacked as many times as Hull over the last 3-5 years. Some of the huge beatings at home have been pretty shameful.

Exactly. The manner of our defeats under Radford were shameful. How can teams just give up the way we have over the years yet still win some big games?

Huge culture change needed. That begins with a new coaching team, not new playing team.

Who is out of contract at Cas, and might be in the crosshairs for Hull?  Any?

No-one good. Mcmeeken has already signed for Catalan.  Think it leaves:

Junior Moors, Callum Turner, maybe Claire and Holmes too (although I think he has signed a new deal).

Hasn't he signed for Newcastle?

I thought he had a lot of promise in that loan spell at fev, but it soon went a funny colour. Maybe a change will give him fresh impetus

[muckymunksy]

Don’t see it happening if I’m honest but I wouldn’t be so bothered as I would of been a year ago.

Think we need fresh ideas not many decent coaches out there tho.

Being a coach can make anyone lose their sense of humour and their faculties. And you only have to look what it does to fans to see the end results.

Don’t understand why the club are looking past Andy Last,seems to have turned the team around,playing some exciting rugby,Powell overated and his constant need to attach blame to someone else to disguise his shortcomings is tiresome,

 

And he's got us into the play-offs in his first season.

indeed just how popular it would be for them to get into the grand final.

bet tickets would be hard to come by

[voteronniegibbs]

So, he didn't take the Hull job after all

Powell overrated?? Interesting comment.

 

He's lucky Salford are a Zombie Cat!

[spanishknight]

Danny Orr has gone to Salford as assistant coach.

[Wigan Riversider]

What happened way back when he moved up at Leeds from Head Coach to Director of Rugby

Vaguely remember he was to make a return as Leeds' Head Coach after a period of time.

Don't think it happened.

Can anyone enlighten me please
