Now that we know what we have all suspected was going to happen has happened in the appointment of Richard Agar lets get behind the man and see how he fares.

Who does he make captain?
Who does he bring in?
Who does he promote?
Who does he get in to condition and assist as part of his set up?
Does he go for a recognised playmaker British or otherwise?

Who does he ditch???

All these could change peoples view of his appointment and see where he is intending to see us next year on what he has as a team and what he can add/bring to the set up.

Interesting times me thinks as signings are still to come and shape the team.

He'll bring Chester as no 2?

More likely to be his current assistant Webster

I'd quite like to see Big Frankie developed in a leadership role - if he could coax the same levels of commitment and enthusiasm out of others as he demonstrates himself when he plays the game, he could do ok.

I also think that Bluey Southern might be in with a pop, given his experience at the top level and his reputation for putting it on the line.

Agree with your other sentiments by the way - onwards and upwards!

Agar's first task is re sign Morrison - that should be his number one priority as it would show that he means buisness and wants to buckle down from day one

If Glenn was going to get a contract he'd have one by now. Who do you think has been advising Elston on comings and goings all along? Don't believe the AG spin on this one, Agar was the number one choice all along. Not Millward, not Gentle but Agar.

Good luck to him, he's going to need it. Hope Glover is thick skinned if it doesn't work out though.

Do you have any evidence for that claim?

No, sadly I don't have a photograph of the meeting they had about it back in June. Up to you if you believe it or not, but it happened. Tends to get what he wants does Jimmy.

Anyway he's here now lets hope it works out.

Quite a defensive reply to a straightforward question.

one good thing about agar, he ditched tommy lee

You see I've heard and believe that Agar wasn't first choice or even second, the club wanted Gentle but he's gone else where and then Millward was lined up but Cas offered him more cash, so that left Agar. But you believe what you want mate.

To be fair,there was a tweet from a journalist at the Hull Daily Mail quoting James Rule as saying Wakefield did in fact approach Hull FC about the availability of Richard Agar. This enquiry was made a week before the fans forum. The fact we were actively seeking his services does suggest Agar was very much the first choice.

That aside it matters not, Agar has the job, he has money available, and to be honest, even if Les Dawson was in charge next season, I still don't think we would have as bad a year as this.

Let's hope he does so again.

It would be a good start if he made it public and said " Don't worry Wakefield fans Tommy Lee will not feature in any of my team selections. EVER !! ". Would certainly win me over.

and me

It would be even better if he said "I've changed mi mind!"

Look forward to having impact wingers on the bench and players playing out of position ahead of youngsters.

All this Agar is a youth coach is nonsense believe me !

ASt least Agar will be allowed to coach now without interference from the board room by wannabe coaches KH et al

McRae , Kear and Sharp all managed to get on fine and finish above Agar.

Infact Agar got more support then anybody, transfer fees and numerous poor seasons "forgotten" about.

Thanks for your input, point taken; you've got what you wanted however, so why don't you bog off and party on the Hull board?

I like your team and I want you to have a good play-off run; I don't like some of your gloating fans though - it lets the decent ones down.

Whose gloating exactly ?

We had 7 years of this clown, we are entitled more then anybody to offer an opinion on him.

The change of scene nary may spark a resurgence in him but I highly doubt that.

Then go and offer it on the Hull board, where you'll no doubt get a more receptive audience.

The day you tell me what to do fella is the day I don't have a hole in my .

Nobody is gloating here so I dont know where you get that idea from. Its not as if we are in a much better off position.

On a plus note for Agar he has currently just lead Hull to a club SL record for the amount of times we have scored more then 50 points in a season. He has also just gotten us playing our best rugby in 5 years so he is not a an awful coach just that Hull FC we feel we are in a position to deserve a top class coach as opposed to one still learning his trade.

Some of this sounds familiar
