hull fc have held talks with with fomer bradford att coach basil richards about joining their coaching staff for 2010 season


in tomorrows hulll daily mail

Are we realy scrapping that low ffs

Inface lee we might as well go for Basil Fawlty, him and Agar will make a right pair

Basil brush as well as DOR

Isn't he something to do with the GB academy ?.

So was Lee Crooks and he's clueless

Yes , And they found that out pretty swiftly if i remember correctly.

Basil Reckitt will be getting exhumed at this rate.

At least he might be useful. He''l be able to drop his own name and get us some cheap drugs to numb the pain of next season's inevitable mediocrity!

Please tell me this is some sort of joke. Perhaps the board didn't get enough feedback from the fans about the calibre of coaching staff in the recent "Tell us" campaign. Surely he brings far less to the club than Jon Sharp?

Yes, Bradford have shown some real attacking flair over the years haven't they? I thought their idea of attack was give it to the big fella to run power through, and then to the little fella to kick 'em to death? And then when that failed, so did they!

ha ha ha cant beleive it.....

I seem to remember he had a misunderstanding with Andy Danattt a few years ago - don't remember anything outtanding regarding his rugby ability

Some of the RFL's appointments have had more to do with formers stars rehabilitation than management and coaching skills .

A hearty welcome Basil from the best supporters in Rugby League.

after 2 seasons of shiite we deserve better, not another reject

Seems that way

Richards is absolutely clueless, he just stands there with headphones as and looks up at macca clueless and waits for him to tell him what to do, how he got in gb setup i will never know.
Hes done ok with the kids but he wasnt even good enough to coach an amateur set up.

With him and lsh gone and hopefully lowes coming in our backroom coaching knowledge will improve dramatically.

They never learn do they.

Agar must have had some input for the appointment.

Surely the Board will not have employed him without some consultation with the coaching staff.

Board and consultation?

never

When did we employ him?

Heard a rumour that James Webster is to join the coaching staff as Agars assistant. Would not surprise me if he did as they seemed to strike up a good relationship acting as his assistant whilst he was waiting for his clearence last season!

Wouldnt be too disappointed with Webster as an assistant or with Richards as an attacking coach.

Agar doesnt have an assistant and for 2 or 3 seasons we've been clueless in attack. Surely this is a statement that the club are trying to do something about it? (without everyone getting on their backs again!)
