Ooooh, you bitch!

Quality contribution. You should stick to moderating because your banter is horrendous.

Everyone's a critic.

Personally I’d keep the shackles on, put him in a crate and send him as far away as possible!

He appears weak to me, not strong enough with his team/tactics selections, a poor motivator and terrible communicator (with the press). Having said that I don’t think he’s been helped by the players. It would appear there is no respect, no team morale and far too much complacency within the squad, but he’s just not strong enough to deal with it IMO.

A couple of weeks ago, I would have agreed with those sentiments 100%, but the glass half full buzzer has started ringing again in my head, so I now 95% agree.

Don’t get me wrong, Agar has a monumental job on to now convince me, and many other fans that he has got what it takes to be a good super league coach. But with the suspensions of Lee and Burnett, and the recent rumours that King and Thaks have pretty much already been shown the door, I have to wonder if performances would have been different had these actions been taken a year ago.

If the board were unable or unwilling to back his clear out plans last season, then maybe just a little of the blame can be removed from Agar for this shambles of a season. Also for me, it goes a long way to explaining the unprecedented support that Agar has received this year.

Agar will start next season with his own players and hopefully without Jon Sharp. He'll have 6 maybe 8 games to prove he's up to the job and if he fails he'll be gone by late April/early May.

Which will be to late and another season will go down the drain a head coach has to command respect from his players something he clearly does not have.

The club really are taking the pi$$ in keeping him

I don't disagree with you Coach but the decision has been made and nothing said on here will change it.

Maybe now the bad apples are going and new players are coming in the team will respect him?

i know i hope im wrong but i doubt it

I think it will be more the fact that he is sending a message out by paying off our longest serving player for not having a professional attitude, also suspending 2 players who would be in the squad for wigan is showing who's boss.
Hope he keeps this up as it's 1 of only 2 things he has going for him at the moment.

has he got a nice car?

If this was the case, Agar should have resigned and stated the board will not back him. Any decent coach couldn't work with those constraints, so I doubt this was the case.

The problem is that he doesn't have the respect of the players

Yes any decent coach would but.....

Or the majority of the fans

By the time next season starts he will have been in the job 21 months with a 30% win ratio, there or thereabouts. The club say he needs to wait for players' contracts to expire and get new players in before he can do anything. Frankly that's shocking, as it effectively admits he has lost a sizeable proportion of the dressing room (if he had it to start with).


Maybe they are right, but there is not a single shred of evidence to suggest we will have a gameplan and galvanise the quality we have in the squad to deliver its best next year. The only reasons for optimism next year are that we have a better pack who may take it upon themselves to get us going forward, and a decent scrum half. Don't forget that Fitz and O'Meley have yet to get visas, Yeaman has a serious injury and Berro may miss the start of the season. Chuck in our normal selection of injuries picked up in pre season training and a "if you see it, play it" gameplan manual and I can't see grounds for much optimism. And I'm very much a "glass half full" fan.

You mean it's as full as that? I'm suprised Fitzy didn't say to the Hull board, I'll come, on the grounds you get a coach who knows what he's doing. He must have been told the goings on and the ability of our so called 'coach' from the other australian players, so either he's got got the IQ of Forrest Gump and believed everything that Agar said, or he's getting paid far too much to care. My bet would be the latter.

I have not even got a glass tbh!!

I have a feeling.....In fact.....I JUST KNOW....We will be singing 'Richard Agars Barmy Army' next season......Even all of you that have been calling for his head on a spike......LET THE BACK-PEDALING BEGIN








I've got faith in the guy.......always did....Can't bleedin' wait to say 'Told ya so'

We all pray you are right..and we will let you tell us we 'Told ya so' every day of the week as long as we manage to get the show back on the road

What we are saying is that a club that has the potential to be Top 4 deserves a proven coach. Agar has proven nothing yet, other than, with a 30% win ratio, he's struggling big-time, unfortunately.

Sorry Darren, you're going to be disappointed mate, the guy is a dyed in the wool loser.

Blind faith it is then

One strange decision though is that he kept Thackray one of the main booze crew and well known slacker at training and let Wheeldon go to the dark side, who is a top trainer and now with a good coach is starting to fly, last season at the KC he was the best prop on the field against Rovers which is why Morgan signed him. Any one remember his hit on Morley who got up and shook his hand.

We all have to start somewhere mate......Agar is at the 'best college' there is.....Hull FC. His 'mock' exams were a bit dodgy.......But I believe he has now got a sharp pencil and a 'Mont Blanc' (look that up

) pen!!!!
