What are your thoughts on Richard Agar after 9 rounds.

The same as they where at the start of the year, Should have never been near the job im afraid, i will let him at least see the season out before asking for the boot.

I voted:

This thread is ridiculous, premature, I'll informed, potentially damaging, misguided and a bit stupid!

He just needs time to get his own team together and work with them. Then watch him go *

good selection of loaded questions. Dont see the point.

I would like to vote for:

Didn't want him and can't believe he was given a 3 year deal but, he was and to be having this conversation after a few games is daft.

There's that ill informed comment again. Maybe if people were informed they'd be cutting a bit more slack, but without that info he's going to cop it i'm afraid!

FWIW we are stuck with him this year come what may but we need to see improvements on the last two pathetic performances. He's got til the magic weekend to pull it round because if we keep losing and then get touched up by Cas again then it will get very uncomfortable for him.

Agree with this. I didn't want him to get the job in the first place (although it seems there weren't many other viable alternatives based on Sandal Cats post on another thread), and his apparent failure to address some basic flaws in our game leave me convinced that we are not going to get the best out of this group of players with him in charge. That said, I think we have to be realistic in that as a minimum he will be given a year by the BOD.

My only concern is whether attendances both for this year and next year will be dramatically affected by his continued employment. Unfortunately, I think they will, with a double whammy for next season, as I think they will need to raise the season ticket prices. Consequently, we will have less people buying season tickets; others who won't want to pay extra for them; and other types of member and walk up fans not bothering, all due to results and performances.

The saving grace maybe a positive decision on NM. However, if NM doesn't get the green light, all the benefits of the positive strides off the field are likely to quickly be undone, with the clubs SL franchise seemingly dead in the water.

Spot on in my book

I've tried to get this message across and i fully agree, unless fans get some info it won't stop rightly or wrongly.

I don't think it would do any harm, infact it could do nothing but good for AG to speak to the fans on this.

Not voting.

Mate you do realise that more Hull fans will vote on this than Wakey fans.

dont worry there to busy booking grand final tickets

The bitter ones won't, they can't get over it, oh and good luck in the final.

Should add Jimmy to the list of GET RID OF !!!!

Not sure why it's ill informed. I'm not claiming to know much about RL and never have done but most people can see how and what Agar did at Hull and they can see the way things are going under him at Wakey. Yes it's early to start getting on his case but there was massive evidence at Hull that the guy wasn't up to it and I've seen nothing yet at Wakey that suggests he is doing any better. Maybe you could inform those of us not informed enough exactly why we should be feeling positive about Mr Agar?

To be fair, whether you like this poll or not and think it's stupid. Everyone's allowed to debate and put their thoughts forward on a fans forum.

Agar is on a 3 year contract. WTW have played some good rugby until recently.

He should be given another 6 games to turn it around and show what coaching ability he has got regardless of Hull FC fans input, that was a different set up.

If the poor performances (not necessarily wins) continue after the end of this period then he must go.

ah here you are again with your FC obsession, and NOT ONE FC fan has mentioned the grand final, its you dobbins with that obsession.

I just want to know what has happened in the dressing room/training pitch since the Catalan game - whether Agar is the problem or whether it's someone/something else. Up until then I was going home happy even when the team had lost because they were all trying to win (and yes, there are serious issues with defence and kicking, but the players were up for it). London and Cas games the players heads were down and they didn't seem to want the win - it was like last season all over again. something or someone has caused that and it needs to be fixed - and it might not be Agar.

One thing to remember, a lot of this seasons squad are Elstons signings, not the coaches. I'm pretty certain that Agar would have swapped one or two of Jimmys signings for a couple of big nasty props, look at the size of the pack Hull had under him, O'Meley, Fitzgibbon, Radford, Moa, Lauaki, Manu etc. Amor, Raleigh and Wilkes have done a half decent job but none of them are really aggressive players. Because of this we have to try and adapt a different approach to games and work towards what we think are our strengths, OK it's not worked out very well the last two games but to be calling for the coaches head is a complete knee jerk reaction. Theplayers are behind Richard Agar and hopefully tomorrow we should see some renewed energy and enthusiasm, I for one am looking forward to seeing Liam Kaye tomorrow, baptism of fire and all that but what a way to make your debut!

You could have the worst coach going, but if the players respect him and play for him and try their best then you will do ok. At 1st this happened and we were competitive in games, 2 games down the line and its turned on its head or it appears so.Tommorows game can be written off imo and even if we lost by 70 then i dont think id personally be too unhappy considering the situation. But in a months time if things dont change for the better on the field then the club will be heading back to square one. Even if we got a new stadium all this talk about people wanting to sign for us is a complete myth if the team on the field isnt competitive.

I know it's nothing to do with me, but I find the posts by theboyem and bigal ver, very intriguing. To suggest that there is something that would make fans more understanding of agars appointment/position etc is something I would Love to see either or both elaborate on. Any chance you two?

I have no idea, i was replying to a post from the clan who stated that it was ill informed to criticise performances, so you best ask him. I'm just a mere fan and too far away from the top table to be privvy to that kind of privileged info. So they'll just have to put up with me calling it crap because thats what it looks like to me!

Agar total garbage at hull hes been given brass kear never had and after 8 rounds done jack all for us . Agar out.The clan uses the typical excuse time to gel ; how many london players are new this year ? = many ! They beat us 36-0! Come on hes had 5 month to make us gel. Hes not good enough !

How many more games do we have to listen to mr agar keep saying we need time to gel. The guy picks the same team week in week out because they are his favourites its not about that he needs to change the team around more to find the correct squad not stick with something that is clearly not working. He has no option but to mix it for todays game. And try not to play the lads out of position
