| Quote ="ICECREAMMAN"Just got sat by the bar in the hotel and wanted to put a few things right on this thread
yeah yeah i know the usual suspects will turn it into drivel but for the rest of us i know you will agree in part if not all..
Rich and the club have took a lot of grief recently and I cannot say how pleased i am that he can drive home with a huge grin on his face knowing that finally what we have precticed has finally started to work and we looked by FAR the better side today and worthy of another 10 points on top today !!!
Will Sharp... that useless waste of money (as some said) had a awesome show and today we saw just why the club were so keen to get him, well played will!!
Kirk yeaman... many had said last year he was finished and is nothing other than a small 2nd row... eat your words and bow your heads in shame!!
Hame... had his best showing of the season today and looked a class act attracting 3/4 tacklers everytime and quick play the balls opened them up a number of times.
Ewan Dowes.... what a plodder he has been called, numpties who called him that can watch the VT and see today the yeardage and work he put in constantly putting his hand up and didnt take a yard backwards.
but I leave my last comment for Danny washbrook who today was in many opinions the MOTM, his runnig caused them nightmare after nightmare, great passing, great feet and massive tackle count i would guess, proved again today why he is still FC!!
Like i said some time ago, Pro sport is a funny thing that throws up many curve balls and shocks yet today the lads were confident they would turn them over and they certainly did, Rich got the whole thing right from team selection to bench rotation and deserves the plaudits from all concerned, oh and may i say those whom constantly take the rip out of his regional dialect can kiss "us" asses tonight!!!'"
Far too early for this thread, yes its been a great easter for FC, and big applause to the players AND Agar, but the team need to be putting in this kind performance week in/week out
Will Sharp-great prospect
Kirk Yeaman-back to his best (or very near, but he has had a couple of poor seasons)
Ewan Dowes-had a great easter period, but has been below average for the a long time, and can he back his easter performance up, with the same for the rest of the season? (unlikely)
Hame-by all accounts had his best game of the season? but for me a guy his size should be striking fear in the opposition, and he hasnt done this, not worth a quota spot (IMO)
Great easter, and all we can hope for is more of the same, but as much as i admire your loyalty to Agar, i still am yet to be convinced hes the man for the job!

i can see your ppoint, the next game will tell if we have or not, even if we loose it the performance right now is more important because we have started playing good footie and the defence is better by the week

Think the Saints match will be the pointer to the rest of our season.

i agree, but as i said winning isnt as important right now as team spirit and the performance, if we can keep both of those going as shown at present we will take the spoils

No it won't!
The next ten or more games will show whether we have it or not, anyone thinking we've turned a corner is simply deluded.
As a lifelong fan of this club, I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong but I have this nagging feeling that I will be frustrated yet again and the saddest part is, there will be clueless idiots like you, telling us how close we got to the dream.

No need to be insulting.
If we beat Wire and Saints,we have turned a corner as far as I am concerned.The trick is to kick on from there.

Who is saying we have got the dream if we beat saints ??
What is being said is that we will start a bit of consistency and that will set us up to challenge for the play offs and the CC
Phew !!!

| Been a great easter, but there is still a long way to go before he convinces me as a coach.
we want/need Hull to play with the passion shown in this weekends games every week, not just turn up for 20mins here and there when they feel like it.
much more optimistic about our season though, these 2 results have put us back in with a shout of top4 (can't afford any more slip-ups though)

| Still in a state of disbelief over today's result.....a tremendous win.
Well done to Agar and the players for two terrific results over easter.
Have we turned the corner???well,not quite sure...but were playing a lot bloody better than we was a short while ago.Let's see if it lasts......

| Pretty much agrea with most of the original post. Even though I never wanted rid of Agar I also accept that one swallow (or even two!) dosent make a summer. With the team we now have on the park we really should now be able to push on. What Agar is now reaping the benefit of is actually having 2 (sometimes 3) true half backs in the team which due to injury he has missed out on most of the time while being at the club. The Obst deal is looking a better descision all the time.bb What is also interesting is Warrington and Tony Smith, because of the squad they had with Cullen etc. in charge, where the benchmarks a lot of people where pointing at as how we should follow. Great then that Agar has proved today he isnt an "idiot" like some people said and can obviously coach a team. Lets hope we can remain somewhat injury free and long may it now continue.

| I must admit to not being full of confidence ( I always hope tho!) about the last 2 games, but am highly delighted to be proved wrong.
Well done to everyone, lets hope we have finally turned the corner at last

I said at the start of the season I thought Sharp would prove to be a very good signing and I stand by that, he has made the odd mistake but not as bad as some have made out. Pleased for him today.
Yeaman is probably my favourite player along with Ogre and I have fought his corner on here plenty of times, I thought he played well last season, hence the International call up but this season he is on fire and it's probably helping he is getting more ball as we are moving the ball better.
Hame I like but he is very inconsistent, time will tell if we keep him, depends on who else is available.
Dowes has been underperforming for over a year now and two good games does not change that, not taking away from his performances as he has played very well but he needs to keep this going. Pleased he has found this desire from somewhere.
Washy is another player I like, mainly as when he plays 13 he has always done very well for us. Don't think he is a bench hooker or a half but as a backrower/looseman he is a very valuable player to have in the squad, glad he came in and did well, good young player who I would like to see stay.
We have done really well at easter to win these two games and Agar deserves credit but, this does not change things overnight. We still have a lot to do and Agar still needs to deliver, should we lose our next two then this will be seen as nothing but a flash in the pan. I hope we do continue to win though, would be happy to eat my words on Agar if he can turn things around.
