I agree. The HDM sports section has become like a fanzine. Not that the general standard of journalism for them is particularly high anyway.

Yeh I get your point completely but I'm told the issue is the lack of interviews information etc coming out of the club to the media. The reporters are in turn under pressure from their superiors to generate FC. centric stories of any type every day to keep the ball rolling and sell the paper or get hits on their web site (lets face it who doesn't check the mail each day to see what's happening, or not as the case might be) but I guess with a longer than usual closed season, players on holiday, little representation from FC players in the up and coming World Cup and the need for the club to maximise the impact of their season ticket push, timing as far as they are concerned is of the essence. However the Stanley Gene one after he resigned from Rovers weeks ago is an interesting one.

The immediacy and constant hum of modern media has created a sort of information addiction, hasn’t it?

Random ex-player backs Trueman to succeed. Jordan Lane’s new outlook for 2023. Stanley Gene keen to make a difference. Willie Peters focused on pre-season preparations. We need these meaningless, disposable tidbits and we need them now.

Notwithstanding the fan / cheerleader sentiment in the HDM the quality of writing by the Rovers chap in particular is terrible. The article today on Luckley has incomplete sentences, spelling/grammatical errors and commas thrown around like confetti.

He's off then. Just hope we've got a 7 lined up https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ng-7679643 As reported by Hull Live last month, there is a possibility that Connor could leave Hull this off-season with some interest arising from at least one other Super League club. Communication has been made, but nothing conclusive is set with any interested party having to meet Hull's offer demands. It's understood both Connor and Hull are open to the possibility.

We are continuously hindered by disjointed preseasons. This year Evans, Lovodua, Trueman, Connor and Savelio are all going to be missing a large chunk of preseason

With question marks over Sutcliffe, Swift, Carlos and the 1-2 players that will pick up injuries.

Let’s hope our new S&C team can work wonders, id really like the club to announce their plans/appointment. Who’s managing these Injuries now.

What’s wrong with Sutcliffe?
Savelio should be good to start pre season and Carlos is ready to resume running.
If it’s true about Connor then at least we don’t need to worry about him being fit for the start of the season.

Realistically what are you expecting in the off-season. There’s literally no news

Well that was a point I made a couple of days ago.

I meant the style rather than the substance.
