I think Rovers will win but Cas will turn up to play on Sat, their playoffs start now.

Agar has created long term underachievement and apathy amongst the fan base. if you believe that's a positive and good for the club then you have a very different perspective on things than me. We've all backed wrong horses in the past but I doubt many of us have persevered with them as long as Hull have with agar. Thankfully, I doubt pearson will see poor performances as acceptable and will act at some point

You could well be right mate.

seems a big turnaround since pearson took over.

just dont get the need for all the agar threads,think everyone has voiced there opinions through out the season,all will be revealed in the coming weeks,then people can decide wether to buy a pass or not.

cas probably spend around £1/2m less on players than us each year and have suffered major injury problems with a paper thin squad. Personally, I'd rather compare us with the other teams who are spending full cap

rovers will score 50 points

I think Cas are shot, Chase is a great player but he can't perform behind a beaten pack.

I don't see them winning but its do or die now and they will be up for it.

Indeed, and should we lose on Friday we'll finish the regular season with five less competition points than last year.

I think if he believes in the fundamentals behind the previous board's approach - their approach must be why Agar is still here - and is prepared to give Agar another year then with the reserves to bring in quality players not at the end of their careers he might have that success. The spin coming from the club seems to be pretty pro-Agar at least for the time being. If he does not want to continue the same approach of investing in Agar then he probably will pay him off (unless we have success this year against all odds) and bring in a replacement. But even then we're not going to be guaranteed better results. Also, let's not forget the new coach will be constrained by the squad that Agar built for a couple of seasons. If we replace Agar and don't win anything for another couple of years will that be better than we are now? Would we then cry out for another new coach and go round and round and round again?

If wigan lose they will be 3 points worse than last season
If saints lose they will be 5 points worse
If Leeds lose they will be 6 points worse

Perhaps it's been a little more competitive this year.

They'll all finish above us for the fourth year in a row.

except Leeds (if they lose and we win)

If I didn't know better, I'd suspect you were a rovers fan having a laugh.

Maybe if we give agar enough time to assemble his own team we'll be better?

As ever Jake, our Agar discussion is going nowhere.

You want him out (just a suspicion I have) as quickly as possible and I want to see if we make the GF before I decide. If they get rid I'll still support the club and if they don't I'll continue to hope that he develops into the world class coach that he clearly is not at the moment. That probably puts it all in a nutshell.

Until the next time

Indeed. I've known from day one that he will never be a world class coach but I'd be happy for him to go and try somewhere else; east hull would be my preferred destination for him but I suspect even their chairman knows enough about the game not to fall for that one

Imagine if he went there and then proved his doubters wrong.

Ooh, yeah, like Craig Hall did. He's an international now, you know.

ner ner ni ner ner to you too

You need to learn to read I have not changed my mind at all, however I would love nothing more than him to prove me wrong, I doubt he will though

And no chance will kr put 50 on cas, it will be a close game

That sounds to me that agar is staying I bloody hope im wrong but the way Im reading it it seems that you know that Agar will be here next season

Imagine if I had a 3 in a bed with natalie portman and scarlett johanson

Wakefield fans seem to think Agar to be announced as their new Coach.

Being a very consistent strong rumour, if true I reckon we already have Nobby.....

Makes me wonder if Nobby is already involved behind the scenes, things have definitely improved

Agar and all in the coaching dept, have done remarkable in the last few weeks,

however..................

IF we want to be challenging Wigan, warrington or st helens,on a regular consistent basis.

He has to go,as in my opinion, he's taken us as far he can.

Yeah he's seems to be the popular choice
