Hull City will finally have a permanent manager at the helm when they travel to the south coast of England to face Bournemouth on Saturday.Mike Phelan has been in charge of Hull (2-1-4) on a caretaker basis for the opening seven games this season, but agreed to a full-time contract with the Humberside club on Thursday to end this managerial uncertainty.Its exciting to step over that threshold into management, and Im looking forward to working with this group of players that has done so well so far, Phelan said. It has taken time, but things have to be done correctly with these matters.What is important now is that we move forward and help this squad of players be successful for this football club. Im looking forward to what is to come now, so roll on the next few games.The deal is a just reward for a coach who sparked an unexpectedly bright start to the season for the Tigers, who beat both Leicester City and Swansea City in their opening two games.As surprising as that six-point opening was, it was also necessary given the daunting nature of the clubs following fixtures. A draw with Burnley is the only point Hull have picked up since matchday 2, with Phelans side being beaten in four of their last five -- albeit against big-hitters Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.Having ridden out that rough run of games and sunk back down to a much more expected 15th-place position in the table, Hull now have the opportunity to start racking up wins in this crucial busy period of the season before the relegation race really starts to heat up after ChristmasWeve got six or seven big games coming up against teams that are likely to be in and around us in the table, rather than the run we had recently when we were up against a lot of the big teams in this league, full-back Andy Robertson said.And he isnt wrong.Hulls upcoming run of games represents an important period of the season, and -- crucially -- this trip to Bournemouth (2-2-3) will feel like a fresh start for the players after their two-week break from club football due to the international fixtures.Im really looking forward to the weekend and its always good when the group gets back together after an international break, Scotland international Robertson added.It has felt like a long two weeks since we last played, so were all looking forward to traveling down to Bournemouth and we hope to come back with a positive result. We need to be at our best to take something from the game at Bournemouth and that is what we are aiming to do.In contrast, hosts Bournemouth have very few players with international commitments, which has given highly-rated young manager Eddie Howe a fortnight to continue developing his teams tactics and style after a run of positive displays that saw the Cherries lose just one of their five matches before the season interlude.I always view it as an opportunity, the Bournemouth manager admitted last week, when asked about the international break. Its a chance for us to really work with the players individually and collectively.This meeting will be the first ever between the teams in top-flight history.

There once was a time when James Tedesco wasnt the King of Campbelltown.Before the Camden product was burning NRL turf in the modern era, and after former Wests Magpie Jason Taylor was piloting conversions in a former one, there was a player from Minto that every kid wanted to be.That player, code-hopper Jarryd Hayne, on Saturday returns to his hometown for the first time in his NRL career when Gold Coast look to keep their season alive against Wests Tigers.Tigers winger David Nofoaluma remembers a time when every aspiring league junior in the area, including himself, had eyed Haynes every move, swerve, and even footwear.I remember going to get a pair of boots that he wore when I was only a youngster. You go to the store and you ask to get the Jarryd Hayne boots, Nofoaluma told AAP.Jarryds from Campbelltown, so he was one of the players you looked up to when I was a kid. To come in the NRL and even play against him was massive for me.Back in 2009, he was it. He was the man everyone wanted to be.Despite Haynes famous move to gridiron in 2014 that captured the imagination of the entire nation, his mantle as the most popular sportsperson in south-west Sydney was taken over by another local in Tedesco.Not only that, but some even consider the Tigers star the premier fullback in the league today, and wont simply hand back the NSW No.1 State of Origin jumper to its predecessor next year.Tedeescos effort this year is reminiscent of Haynes unforgettable campaign in 2009, when he single-handedly dragged Parramatta to a fairytale grand final appearance with an unprecedented run of form.dddddddddddd.In Tedescos 16 games to Haynes 26 seven years ago, Tedesco has matched, or almost matched, the former Parramatta star in tries (14 each) and line break assists (Tedescos 10 to Haynes 11).However Haynes 178 tackle busts (89), 37 offloads (6) and 175 metres per game (135) proved that there is still some way for the 23-year-old Tedesco to go.On Saturday at Campbelltown Sports Stadium, the local products face off in what is arguably the most anticipated individual showdown of the NRL season.Theres a lot of kids out here that want to be the kind of player that Teddy is, Nofoaluma said.Stats say a lot of things, but I reckon Teddys actually got more to give. Hes got a long way to go and we havent seen the best of him yet. If he keeps this up, theres no telling what he can do.HAYNE 2009 v TEDESCO 2016Games: 26 to 16Tries: 14 to 14Points: 57 to 56Avg possessions: 28 to 23Avg runs: 17 to 13Avg metres: 175 to 135Tackle busts: 178 to 89Line breaks: 34 to 16Line break assists: 11 to 10Try assists: 19 to 10Offloads: 37 to 6Errors: 33 to 16Penalties conceded: 15 to 4 ' ' '
