He also arguably set the foundations for the cup win/grand final apperance with his team.

Wouldn't it be the icing on the cake if Rovers appointed Agar

BUZZIN!



Bye to Mr. Agar, you put everything you had into the club but unfortunatley it wasn't good enough.

Welcome back Mr. Pringle! Really happy about this appointment. He has tripped up everywhere since being with us, I get the feeling he really loves the club and is one of the good guys of RL. His contacts in Oz will do us a world of good, he will be the link between AP and the club/new head coach in actual rugby matters and I can only see this is a que for Gentle to join the club. Perfect opportunity for a current assistant coach to become a head coach, with guidance from a bloke who has bags of experience in NRL and SL.

The future looks bright!

Bomber is highly respected in the game..AP needs a man like that has he does not have the contacts or experience Bomber will have..

The more I think about it the better news it is....very clever move well done AP

like I say, we shall see, it's all about the Head Coach appointment, and binning Last and Webster in the process.

Totally my thoughts! - I am happy to have bomber back as DOR i would of been very upset if it was as head coach. Not sure on Gentle moving in though. We could do with Morgan.. but i've been told on good authority that its DEFINITELY not happening!

as Shaun said at Horney's superleague forum, at Salford they expect champagne rugby on a lemonade budget and if he had the chance he would jump at the chance to come back to FC. So fast foward 1.5 yrs and he's back couldnt be happier to see bomber back, great guy and has great tatical and man management skills.

Hudge has cancelled his flight to Oz and booked a taxi to West Hull instead

What as Andy Last done that is so bad? The U20s are having another good season.

I would agree with that. I'm glad to see bomber back (sat behind a desk). Gentle could easily be announced soon and a full sweep of the coaching set-up to follow.

The future is bright, the future is Black & White !!

shrewd move by pearson to bring in bomber, pearson admit he knows very little about the game and he maybe here to advise and help pearson, if gentle comes in as coach, i would suspect he would have no interferance from mcrae

Bomber was at Hull FC for the week when AP took over so this was underway from the off.

I just hope AP has given the DOR and Head Coach clear and defined job descriptions. Happy that Bomber is back but only provided he has nothing to do with the coaching, those days are gone and his health isn't upto it.

If used as a proper DOR then his knowledge or SL/NRL aswell as the fact he knows the club very well and commands huge respect means it will be an excellent appointment.

Peter Gentle or Justin Morgan...? It won't be Noble as he would have come as the DOR.

Andy Last as the no.2?

I initially thought it was and I too was upset....but great move to have him as AP right hand man..

Not sure about Gentle, sounds a good pedigree but still only an assistant and unproven.

Nobby ?

Agree with that. We need a whole new set up.

Nobby still wants to coach.

still banned from driving then

So was Maguire.

can see andy last staying, it was mcrae who advised him to go into coaching as he thought he was a great prospect, even leeds wanted him a couple of years ago

OMG After 3 nearly 50ish points on the baord? Is Morgan on his way? The Guardian got it right how long ago?

oh dear, its not gone down too well on the wakey board

Not many of them make it to the first team though.

Fair comment, like I said earlier I would not be unhappy with the appointment.

He rather emphatically stated that his coaching days were over just recently - in fact was it on Saturday? I don't think he'll go anywhere near the coaching role myself.

I'm very glad Agar is gone but I would like to thank him for his efforts over the last 4 seasons. He's had to deal with some crap e.g. No half backs for the majority of his games, Crocker and Hame gate, Tansey and Berro gate. But there's no doubting he's leaving us in much better shape than what he received us.

Good luck Mr Agar.

McRae need to be "Director of Rugby Operations" or something like that, as you say, clear distinction between him and the head coach of the first team.

Wouldn't want to see Last as number 2, he's had his shot over many years.

McRae
Gentle/Morgan
Fitzgibbon as number 2
New U20's coach (Radford??)
New Conditioner (s)
New Physio(s)
New Nutritionist
Sports Psychologist

the whole club playing similar systems across the piece.
