Limited options here it would have been nice to have a few more to chose from and productive to rest a few. On a positive note we will at least be able to see Ellis and if Wildie and co have developed.


1. Tony, - Waited patiently
2. Fox,
3. Sykes,- More time to get to know the squad
4. Walshaw, -Seen a bit and heard a lot more.
5. Cowling -

6. John,
7. Wood,

8 Wilkes,
9. Ellis, - Well overdue a shot
10. Amor,
11 Johnson
12. Mariano -
13. Washbrook,

14. Wildie,
15. Trout.
16. Spiers,
17. Southern,- Would have liked to rest him but



Mellars hasn't looked a patch of what he he did at Crusaders.
Kay - Another half back too many at the moment.

I'd keep mellars in centres even though he's done bugger all... That would leave Walshaw to replace the non - existant southen

I hope that Ellis, Tony & Mariano rip it up...well put in grand performances.

Saying that RA will choose his favourites again for next week even if they did rip it up!

Kay & Cowling to miss out for me.

Sorry Agar is a complete buffoon 6 kids in one squad first start for Ellis Tony first game back for Frankie its madness

3 of Wildie/Cowling/Kay/Walshaw/Spiers/Trout should have played last night with Ellis you do not throw all the kids into a game like Wigan away
I assume James is injured because Spiers is not ready for SL

please just do one Agar

You do if the only salvation possible is a game next week at Leeds, win that and its a season/job saver.

i can not see that being our sqaud (wigan), i think a young winger will play like king and eric will be put back in.

He is throwing this team to the lions so he can justify picking his 'favourite' team for the Leeds game. The bloke does not have a clue....

Exactly. If this team gets utterly spanked, what's that going to do for the confidence of the young 'uns?

I suppose it depends on why the other players have not been selected, are there any injuries other than Collis and Mathers or have they just been dropped? Throwing too many in at once is not the answer for me.

I very much think we're in for a hiding with this team, although changes were clearly needed after last nights total surrender. To make so many changes is an admission that your prepared to concede 50 0r 60 points while resting those who are obviously regarded as 'key players' - no doubt in the hope of them returning and snatching a win at the Rhinos - dream on. The actions of a desparate coach I'm afraid.
I hope I'm wrong but as far as Wigan goes, judging by the last two games the result would be the same no matter what team you sent!

he has not dropped anyone, he is trying to apiese the fans by playing some of the fringe players and in doing so knows that they will more than likely get whacked and then he can revert back to his 'mates'. If he kept the same team as last night he knows he would get critisised and he also knows they would probably get caned anyway. He is not kidding me with this and i doubt anyone else will fall for it either.
Team for Leeds irrespective of wigan score will be the side that he played v London and Cas minus any injuries.
Although I want to see some of the players in the 19 given a shot i think i will give it a miss this week, london was embarrasing and costly enough, and he is just feeding these guys to the lions so he can revert back to 'his' team for Leeds.

I think I'd rather go across to Wigan and support these fringe players then give the old guard a miss v Leeds. Probably go to the Fev V Cas game instead that weekend.

Agar has obviously written this one off to focus fully on next week. Pointless exercise i reckon, we'll get a touch up in both anyway.

I knew someone would throw that one out eventually

What if by a miracle we win with this squad or perhaps lose by a few points putting in a great show. Will Agar show faith for Leeds in the CC?

Is he prepared to give this one away as a sacrifice for the Leeds game or is he looking further ahead to giving Salford a bit of a game?

In all fairness to agar we know

Ali,Kirmond,Collis,Mathers,Cockayne are either injured or struggling.

Raleigh and Aiton have run their blood to water for the team and have carried our pack can't
keep asking them to do that ,give them a rest and let some others stand up.

That only leaves Smith and for all we know he may be carrying a knock.

So all in all I don't think this is a sacrifice job, the bloke is going with just about the best he has got.

I reckon it's a bit of everything you've mentioned; some have knocks, some need a rest and some have been dropped because they're not performing.

Looks like an exercise in squad management to me, much the same as other SL coaches are having to do over the Easter period.

Beat me too it, I 've just read through the topic and thought, did people not notice the amount of injuries we picked up last night. He probably wasn't going to make so many changes but his hand has been forced. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't it seems.

Enough is enough if we get spsnkrd today which looks like cos he has dropped the young ones right in the brown smelly stuff. Lambs to the slaughter. Hope im wrong. Mr agar show some testicular fortitude. And man up and explain to the fans who pay week in week out. Your actions of after all the games played so far you still stick with a team that do not appear to be What you call GELLING Try different combinations. Or is it jobs for mates.

I'm getting fed up with the anti Agar crowd. You are just blindly repeating what the Hull fans say.
He is our coach. Support him and the team.

They have proved they can play well. He needs to keep trying that general team to get them playing consistently.

fed up with the vast majority of the fan base then

nothing to do with what the Hull fans think Agar is a decent number 2 having said that we are stuck with him so that leaves backing the team I will many wont if results dont improve

Think some people are taking this Agar out too far.

I am not a happy fan at present but the performances have been good bar last 2 games. I think agar should be given some time yet.

The players are just as much to blame for the past 2 games too.

My view also. The manner of the defeats has been worrying but at this stage these comments are verging on hysteria!
