Last, who has been put in temporary charge until the end of the season<\/a> after John Cartwright’s exit, has inherited a turbulent situation at the club.<\/p>\n

However, the 45-year-old hopes that despite the injuries and the coaching upheaval, he has a squad capable of making a mark on Super League this season.<\/p>\n

The club sits 10th in the table after winning three and losing five of their opening eight games.<\/p>\n

“I’ve fallen into this position and it’s a good position to fall into because the ingredients are there to have a really good, strong finish to the season,” Last said.<\/p>\n

“We have to focus on our jobs. The challenge to the playing group is putting everything that has happened to one side. We need to move forward as a club.<\/p>\n

“I’m really, really disappointed for John, he’s a good fella. We saw the reaction of the supporters towards John but we’ve made the decision and we need to move forward with it.<\/p>\n

“The things John has instilled in us, that grit and determination and that never-say-die attitude, will be evident on Friday night (against Castleford).<\/p>\n

“I’m going to make a couple of little tweaks to certain things but not make wholesale changes.<\/p>\n

“I just think the big thing for us is getting our best players back on the field. I think if we can do that we have a squad that is capable of challenging anyone.”<\/p>\n

Last will be holding the fort until Steve McNamara arrives next season.<\/p>\n

It is his second spell as caretaker coach at his hometown club, having also stood in when Lee Radford was sacked in 2020.<\/p>\n

“I’m familiar with the position,” he added. “I know what comes with the position. The players know how passionate I am about Hull FC and know how passionate I am about the job.<\/p>\n

“The opportunity to coach your hometown club doesn’t come for everybody. I’ve been a Hull FC supporter since the age of six. There’s nothing I want more than to get this team winning games and challenging for trophies again.<\/p>\n

“I’ll be driving those boys to play to their absolute best. If we can do that we are certainly a match for any team in this competition.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last, who has been put in temporary charge until the end of the season after John Cartwright’s exit,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":548364,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-549238","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/548364"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
