Fool , did you follow Hull at that time and saw where we came from and how he had us defending correctly.

I love a man who cant start a sentence without an insult



as for the man in question wow what a bag of sucess he brought like erm well .......

Brought as much sucess as Agar has and Agar has had more time in charge

you know i got more stalkers than pamela anderson



I recal his time well , you may well wish to look up the stats on season finishes etc!!

however all immeterial as he is not coming back thankfully so argue with yourself over that one!!

we have a decent coach thank you

They've hired him to help raise funds for the new stadium.

Didn't have the luxury of the best facilities in SL, plenty of cash to splash around and the support our current coach gets.



Doubt any coach since would have done what he did to raise funds for signings

Indeed, Royce would be the first to admit his shortcomings as coach when at FC, but he has learnt his trade and is now taking on one of the biggest jobs going.



good luck to him

which wont have a soccer team playing on it.....

Neither do we, they are a football team.

Won't have 25000 people watching games there either

i thought that was only rovers that had so many fans?.

Good luck to him. He always came across as a great bloke and the marathons - five in five days I think - showed his commitment to the club.



Didn't he once get thumped by a Hull fan at a game?

Wrong!



Bit nervous about Simmons, to be honest. Just looked at a fans site and they weren't exactly weeping for his departure! I'm just not sure that McManus/our board have got this one right. But time will tell.

You really are a halfwit! Royce inherited a bloody awful squad and worked his off to bring us Hasler and Doyle. Those signings alone turned what could have been an entirely painful time, into a really enjoyable time. He also used to come across to the 3d stand, talk to us and encourage us to sing, and hand out gear. We played some great rugby at times under Royce, and if he'd have had even a half decent squad to work with, he'd have been very successful.

Got to agree mate, Royce did FC proud.

Personaly, I don't think Expro ever saw Hull FC play when Royce was coach. I doubt he was there on that freezing day when Des Hasler suffered Hypothermia against Widnes.

im still thawing out from that night!!! didnt he start wearing a wet suit after that game? Always thought Royce was a top bloke, and did his best with what he had, which really was not a lot!!! like someone said previously, Royce never had the luxury of SL training or funds available to him, I know who i would rather have in charge at the club!

Don't think it was a wet suit, more a thermal insulation vest iirc.

expro was Still shiitting in nappies and suckling on his mothers breast when simmonds was in charge





Disgraceful for a 25 year old

Jimmy Grant aswell . I think we put 60/70 points on Leigh in his last game.

He got 5 tries I think. 74-0 possibly?

Doyle got 4 as well, I'm sure someone else waded in with a hat trick?

IIRC Tim Street and Chico Jackson ran riot at prop that day.



We still missed out on the top 8 Premiership Play Offs.

Raggy you've brought it all back!



Did he sign Sterling?
