Quote: Saddened! "They should just get some bottle and sack Agar. All this nonsense about British coaches being good for the game should be forgotten. The Australians do rugby league better than we do and we should try to copy their methods and learn from them. I think the RFL should set up a scheme where any young British coaches/retiring players who have the potential to be a head coach are sent to an NRL club for experience, paid for by the RFL.
Given their superb facilities, strong financial setup and strong youth production line, Hull should be perennial challengers at the top. After briefly threatening to become a top club with a couple of Cup Final appearances and a Grand Final, they have fallen well below their potential in recent seasons.
Give Maguire or Brown that squad and they would be in the top 2/3.'"
completely agree, stick a competent coach in charge and we are top 6 at least.
Agar has had 3 years, and has completely overhauled his squad, yet the players still play the same brand of drab lifeless rugby.
the scenes at the hooter at the KC last night were some of the oddest I had witnessed in rugby. Wakefield scored a good try right at the end, to which the Hull fans rose in their thousands and applauded, before launching into a crescendo of boos and 'Agar Out' chants. Gates have already fallen this season, and it won't take much more for him to go IMO.
