hull 31-30 leeds

1st try:- T.Briscoe

MOM: o'meley

Att:17,894

Away Att: 2,500

There'll be nowhere near 17,800.

fine 15,000 then

why wont they?

it's on TV
key squad members are injured
people are seeing the cracks forming again

I think there will be more like 18000 tbh

Are they, or just the predictable few

We've never had that for a non derby game in donkey's years though. I can't see Leeds bringing 2,500 (even with free tickets) and doubt there'll be a walk up of 5,000+.

Remember we had free entry for season ticket holders for last years cup tie versus Salford (admittedly a far less attractive tie) and the attendance was under 9,000.

I'll be delighted to be proved wrong, mind.

depends, if you take RLFans as your sole barometer, maybe, if you speak to pepole then it's fairly widespread.

By 'predictable few' do you mean the realistic Hull fans and the rest of SL?

I read an article which stated our tickets are selling well, the weather if forecast to be nice, I reckon Leeds may bring a fair few after Sundays result, I may be wrong I just expect a big gate, or maybe I am just hoping for one

it's the tie of the round involving 2 massive clubs so over 17,000 is a possibility but depends on leeds following

No just the ones who come on here every time we lose to start a Agar out etc threads...



The one's who even if we win feel the need to have a pop at Agar or some aspect of the club, and amazingly they hardly ever talk about rugby, because basically they no nothing about the game.

i think we will beat leeds next weekend

, it should be a cracker, as for the attendance i think we will get around the 12000 mark

Don't get me wrong Richard seems a great person and he's obviously a very good coach, just not a head coach. I played my rugby through the eighties and I've supported Hull for 30+ years, I feel I know enough about the game to have an informed opinion. The best coaches I've witnessed have comanded respect, being arrogant, shook things up and not given a if they offended anyone. Am I the only Hull fan that cringes when Richard is giving his post match comments?

No, but you've managed to meet one of the senior figures in the Agar support camp on here, they will not admit that a lot of fans are underwhelmed by decisions made.

In fact, if you comment, you know nothing about rugby, apparently.

I actually believe Agar is good with the media, he is a down to earth guy and I would sooner have him than the media whore Morgan is..

The players do actually hold Agar in high regard, I know this by speaking to several players, I am not sure of Agars capabilities as head coach yet, I will decide at the end of the season when the results will speak for themselves. As I look at it he is our coach no matter what we think, so I will get behind him as he is an important part of our team.

Is that the best you can do Standee, poor by your standards

not on saturday they wont be,tickle,fitz,horney will all be back in the team,and just maybe longy too

that is great news wolfie, I still think it being a TV game will have an effect, I know a fair few not going because it's on TV, we are in Chester so we're missing a game I'd normally have made a real effort to get to.

Another issue I keep hearing is the quality of the game as a whole and the refereeing, I know after the Warrington game that a few of the people I took said they wont go again as the wrestle etc. is killing it as a sepctacle.

Good news Wolfie, here`s hoping !

I don't want a 'down to earth guy' leading our team, I want someone with attitude. Doug Laughton, Phil Gould, Ian Millward, etc. all a-holes but bloody good coahes. IMO Richard looks looks out of place in front of the media. I've got no problem with him being at the club, he's obviously a very knowledgeable lad but he's no head coach.

I do not want some-one with attitude, it does not necessarily make them successful, I admire Nobby but he does not have attitude, nor does Nathan Brown who I also admire. We had Peter Sharpe the disciplinarian and he never cut the cloth..

Like I said time will tell if Agar is the right man or not, I am reasonable happy with our season so far and hope to finish at least in the top 6.

Thats you opionion

'Media whore' comes to mind, or is that only suitable for Rovers coaches?



slapped his players around the face in public, really 'down to earth'.



Yeah, pure entertainment that guy!



I haven't seen anything to suggest Agar is a good coach, even with a full compliment of (very capable) players. As you say, time will tell.
