well done Richard Agar. built a side from nothing, made the playoffs and did not look out of place there either. think wakey are only 2-3 good signings off being a regular playoff contender.
all those years of abuse from the Hull fans, really proved what a good coach he his.

I had my doubts about him when he was announced as our coach, but he has done a magnificent job this year. I think out of the other coaches there would only be two who would achieve what he has done with the squad he has.

Two points...

1. Agar didn't get years of abuse from Hull fans. He got some stick in his final season after years of underachievement.

2. He's proved nothing yet. Which isn't to say that he won't.

Get your facts right before you post....he took us to 2 play-offs,which we lost,just like Wakey and also took us to 2 bottom 3 finishes in the years before.I wasnt a Agar fan and didnt agre with him getting the job after Sharp went and like Kosh said,he got the "abuse" in his last season after years of underachieving.

He's very good at losing play-off games, I'll give him that.

He's done a great job at Wakefield over the course of the last few months. It's amazing what a bit of confidence and momentum can bring to a side. I felt they were desperately unlucky last night and had they been more clinical or got some of the calls their way (notably the 'forward' pass in the first half, followed by the Leeds non-forward pass for Burrow's try) then the result may have been completely different.

It's a platform to build upon but the question is whether they can do that again next season. I think London will be tough cookies next season and who knows what is going to happen with Bulls and Salford. With Cas, you never know what team you're going to get. They've got a good chance but need one or two key signings.

To be honest he's done a much better job with Wakey than what gentle has done at Hull. He's definitely given us a great platform to build on next season, we'll see how he does next year with full input into recruitment and preseason etc.

If we can get playoffs again next year, I'll be happy.

Total rubbish, gentle has achieved more in a year than agar did in three.

He has totally transformed hull from the shambles agar and the board left hull in in less than a year.

Agar has gone well, no one can argue with that, but to say he has done a better than gentle is rubbish.

I've never rated Agar, but he deserves credit for what he's done this year.

Wakefield were fantastic for 50 minutes last night before Leeds put them away.

I would just point out that without Bradford's financial meltdown, Wakefield wouldn't have made the play-offs.

And I would point out if you fielded a squad you could afford you would not have won the number of games you did.

Any old team that can go on a good run for a few games can be ''playoff contenders''. That's if by playoff contenders you mean, [ihas the ability to finish in the top 2/3rd's of the table.[/i.

But if you actually meant to compete in the playoffs...only a few teams can do that.

Even with wakefield playing out of their skin, they were easily beaten by 20+ points by the worst leeds team in over a decade.

Still, i'm pleased for richard agar, he had to suffer years of abuse from the rabid dogs over at hull and the only suprise to me is that he didn't leave that hell hole of a club earlier.

Doesn't change the fact that you're not in the play-offs on merit, you're there on the back of someone else's failure.

In your opinion.

My opinion is that player for player and budget for budget - Agar has achieved more with what he had at his disposal than Gentle has.

As for Wakey only finishing in playoffs because of Bradfords finances, if the Bulls had spent within their means, they wouldn't have had the playing staff capable of picking up so many points IMO.
