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.

Sometimes sport cruel. That failure was hard earned by no other than the bulls board and club themselves. Despite the funding to maintain a team that was not viable the bulls squad failed to make the playoffs despite been in the driving seat still with 3 games to go.
The table says wakey earned the 8th spot and that will remain in the history books. Enjoy your rugby league... We do .

| Richard Agar has improved Wakey this season and frankly I don't really care what Hull do, we have had a good run this season and having watched them all my life I am proud of what Agar has achieved and hopefully we can build on this next season. You see it benefits the game if more clubs can compete at the highest level and it would be nice to see Hull get there as well.

Finishing in the top 2/3rds of the table then getting thrashed in the playoffs doesn not constitute competing at the highest level, but then I guess that's the best clubs like wakefield can hope for.

| I don't recall seeing Wakey being thrashed, in fact it was the lowest losing margin of the weekend matches.

Listen to yourself. Wakefield (who lost by 20 points) did not get thrashed because it was the lowest losing margin of the playoffs so far.
What. The. Fuck.
Does that not illustrate how terrible our playoffs are, and how woefully out of their depth 50% of the teams who compete are?

He didn't get much stick for Hull's performances during the weekly rounds of the season, it was his complete inability to get a win in a 'must win' tie such as a crucial game against the Top4, a CC game or a playoff that brought much criticism.
He has had a good season with a makeshift Wakefield side, but he is still yet to prove he can win a big game under pressure.
