Not in favour of it, the club needs new ideas not more people who've already been at the club for years.

if he can add to the improving attacking side of our game, I'm all for it.

"Webster is seen as an ideal choice, given his previous experience of working at the Black and Whites alongside Richard Agar for two seasons"
Nothing further to add.

because it worked so well at Wakey?

A Little bit unfair?

I feel it could be an astute addition,as an assistant.

He could improve our last tackle plays, kicking game and more importantly our catch & pass.

nobody with that job will struggle. esp an inexperienced coach...but if we go by that basis, look at the job he did at HKR as player coach.

he wont have a head coach role at the club will he...it will be on attacking side if anything, id have thought

Your first post in a week and a negative one.
Nothing further to add.

Why is it negative?

Posted days ago by a poster on here.

Nobody #intheknow was on it.

We signed him for one game, it cost us £30k for a bit of oneupmanship on Rovers. Where oddly, he didnt really do all that, so do not wet your tena ladies

Compare his on the field record against Sean Long

Ignore her, shes full of it cos weve finally started to actually play decent rugby

Ah well. Atleast she didn't turn her back on the club.

Tell that to the other 5000 people who decided enough was enough

The crowing from some of you is laughable. This is Hull FC and as quick as its turned good it can quite easily turn bad. When the team starts showing genuine consistency over a period a lot longer than about eight games people may start coming back

As long as you're not one of them!!

Are you saying Agar was a positive force for good at "our" club?

Here come rain or shine, cockle. Sorry about that.

I think it's a decent move, watching Wakey they attack pretty well, but are poor defensively, he didn't stand much chance there, but made some silly comments about the middle 8's which really backfired.

I still think he has a decent coach in him, look at when he came to hull last time, before he came we finished outside the play offs, once he was appointed we saw improvements and finished in the play offs twice.

Could be a shrewd move.
Wakey came too early for him. That job would be hard enough for even the most experienced of coaches, hence why they've now had to go and hire Brian Smith.
Won't do our attacking structures any harm, and can only see it as a positive move.

If you look at my post I explicitly didn’t express any opinion, positive or negative. I simply quoted verbatim from the HDM. People can make up their own minds.

What you unwittingly did by jumping in with your “negative” comment was display your cognitive bias. You decided that my post was negative based on your own subjective view of the world.

How do you know that I don’t think that Agar was a good coach held back by bad management of the club (I’m not saying that’s my view but unless you can read my mind you wouldn’t know that). You just elected yourself judge of what’s “positive” or “negative” and came out all guns blazing.

I’m sure you don’t consciously mean it (and you’re by no means the only person on these boards who does it) but some of the intolerance on these boards verges on outright bullying.

The comment about “first post in a week” is another example. Where does it say in the AUP that there’s a minimum posting frequency? I have a highly demanding job that requires me to travel all over the USA, Europe and the Middle East, as well as having a wife and four young children. This means that posting on these boards is hardly a priority for me, but I’ll damn well defend my right to do so when I want to.

There is a debate necessary about how people treat each other on these boards. As long as posts don’t contravene the AUP no-one should be derided for posting their point of view. I often disagree with lots of different people on here, but if I do I post constructive counter arguments, not simply abuse and derision. A sense of balance is required.

The constant peer pressure to conform to what’s subjectively deemed as “positive” is unhealthy and will only lead to a self-reinforcing clique that renders any semblance of debate meaningless.

And when things turn bad, we see who the supporters are and aren't. You Seb, you've turned your back on FC many times. Without those fans in the bad times, there wouldn't be a club for the good time fans to watch.

Sport has ups and downs, deal with it. Success is cyclical. Sometimes that's due to factors of the clubs own doing, sometimes it's outside factors. Unfortunately, there will always be fair weather fans who abandon their club in the bad times, and hop back on the bandwagon when the good times come back around.

Without being disrespectful to Wakey but as the saying goes 'You can't polish a t urd'.

Webster and just about another other coach that took on the job at Wakey was on a hiding to nothing due to a number of reasons the main two being the funding available and the state the squad was in after Agar left.

For me if Webster comes in purely to assist with the aim of improving our attacking plays and last play options etc then I can not see any harm in it. He did a very good job at Rovers and thought he actually improved us when he came in even under Agar.

Can't see a problem with it, can really only improve us.

So is it a good or bad thing?

I daren't say.
