He's made it quicker to get away from home fixtures.

Although TBF he had a fair bit of rebuilding to do when he first started, in comparison to Sharp inheriting an already very good squad who had won a trophy the year before. Looking at the league table McRae was around 68% for his last season, I can't remember how we did in the cup that year off hand.

Faulty reasoning. Why kick to a talented youngster who may or may not be able to handle the pressure (given that he's a full back and pretty nippy, there's a good chance he could take the bomb and be off to the races) when you can kick to Meli who has arguably the worst hands (under the high ball) in SL?

IIRC, Hull kicked to Meli ... twice? He dropped it once.

Poor. Very poor.

Agar has his failings but you do realise that if Agar goes then Sharp takes over.

We would all like a complete change with the Head coach but it's just not going to happen so if you want Agar sacked then good luck with Sharp.

I'll stick with Agar for now.

If I was coach of Hull FC, I too would care and be desperate to get it right. Doesn't mean I'd be any good though.

True, like I said he needs to learn from his misatkes, he does seem to have a vision of what he wants from the team and with the players coming in and those leaving hopefully he can achieve that vision. I don't want this season to be written off in the meantime though and do want to see him getting better with things like interchanges and motivation.

Me too.

I also want a sound spanking off Rosie Webster, but I don't imagine I'll get it.

Hmmm, more chance than getting the other things out of Agar though!

i would quit. The club is in crisis and Rule ant got a clue!

Good Point Paul but how long do we persist with the threat of sharp taking over. I say get it done now sharp will get to the end of the year and both are gone. The option is Agar stays till next year and Sharp gets a contract extension we would be down the pan for several years then? Something I have been pondering for a while

Good point, just how determined are the board and Sharp that he will get a go at being head coach at some point, regardless?

If relegation was an issue, would your opinion be different?

I agree with Kosh, in that I have never slated a coach (well not since Walsh), but I fail to see any signs from Agar, that gives me any hope for next season or beyond.

I am quite happy if the club are taking advantage of the 'no relegation' period, as an opportunity to rebuild, develope and restructure the team, rather then knee jerk reaction and panic buying.

Next year will be the time, if Agar fails. He will have no excuses whatsoever next year and both him and Sharp are out of contract, if it's not working then they can get rid of both without it costing anything.

1. The kit lady has 2 less shirts to wash per game - surely Lee's and Maloney's will be clean enough to wear next game.

2. HDM has to use less ink listing the interchanges for our games.

3. I thought post game interviews couldn't get any worse after Peter Sharp, but Agar's are just hilarious!

With regards to interchanges, earlier in the season Agar was being blasted for just making interchanges for the sake of it, often ones which people felt where decided before the match. Now he makes them, but not many of them and people are lambarding him for that? If he doesn't feel the players on the bench will add anything more to our game then there is no point him bringing them on for the sake of it and jeprodising results (i know, what results right

) for the sake of it.

If he doesn't feel the players on the bench can add to the game, then he needs to CHANGE HIS BENCH selections.

He's following a policy set by Wayne Bennett.

There isn't exactly much more choice though is there?

Who else could have being on the bench against Saints?

Moa, Hall, Broughton, Hodgson

Hardly game changes either are they.

I could accept that aslong as they both come as a package and are treated as THE coaching team.

Its interesting to see Wilkin mentioning that in his opinion Long would make one of the best future British coaches in the game

I dont think he will in all honesty, the fact he i would assume wanted Radford to get a new deal was a shocking decision. It would be different if we needed to release players to get under the salary cap but we dont. From our current squad i can only see Tony and Moa not been here next season.

That bench would have been better!

There could 6/7 coming in so we will have to get rid of a few. Everyone has an opinion about who they would like to see go so Agar's choices won't be fine with all fans but he will be getting shut of players, I am certain of it.

How so?

Broughton/Hall would have been brought on to play where? Hodgson is unproven as yet and is really a hooker.

With 2mins left......

Exactly!

Hall at Centre, Whitihg to 13 and try something new!
