Wanna swap coaches?

As a Hull fan watching you tonight was very much like watching us when Agar was involved with us as assistant and head coach. You look as though you lack any leadership on the field and have no real game plan.
Get rid of Agar and you will be much better for it.

How can you confidently say that? He is an assistant and is untested as a Head Coach. The situation in Perpignan hasn't been good the past couple of years.

We need a clean break, not someone who has played with the current set of players or under Smith.

Surely as basic continuity-planning, the club is always in touch with various coaches and those in the business will know the options available. I'm sure several more CVs will land on the door step this morning!

Tim Sheens?

Fully agree about a clean break - too many jobs for the boys in the club at the moment.

the slide of this side has been there for all to see for years.... It's been obvious and there for all to see. Unfortunately 1 skewed season on the back of scooting down the pitch (and no trophy's), got a few good results and Smith a new contract.

This poor side hasn't just come out of nowhere. It's been years in the making.

And it will take years to unpick the mess.

It's interesting that, because for all Smith has banged on about "Performance not results" for years, the club seems to have been completely blinded by last years results and ignored the fact the squad was overperforming based on the personnel they had.

The spiral downwards seemed to start with Agar coming in true. It has been reported previously that Agar now runs much of the day-to-day training. If so who's responsible there. If one goes , I don't see the other staying either way.

Very true.. Never understood why he got rid of Poaching & Marshall then replaced with Agar

Well yeah. Everyone (except Eddie Hemmings) laughed when Brown's signing was announced, especially those from Wigan, Huddersfield and Widnes who know him best.

When was the last time we aimed high. ...Our last aim was at the standard of Savelio Blythe Cox Bailey Wheeler etc

The last time we aimed high was for probably for Darryl Clark before that I shudder to think. ...We don't aim high t that's why Castleford will win superleague before we do ...
Let that sink in.....

At the end of the half time break Angela Powers said Tony Smith had told his players to 'stick to the game plan.' So basically Smith asked them to play flat & predictable rugby with a slow play of the ball. To constantly drive the ball up with scoots from dummy half & have a very slow defensive line that allowed Leigh to offload at every opportunity ???

I've always been very pro-Smith, but I'm getting worried. How can we go from a Grand final to bottom of the league within 5 games ?

I'm beginning to see parallels with our 2006 season, under Millward. When Noble took over we had won 2 lost 9, with what on paper was a much better team than results showed. A change of coach, and the addition of Dobson and Fielden, saw us turn things around. Maybe a similar tactic would work for you guys...?

Perhaps but it's not easy to get away with cheating unless your Wigan.

Good shout, Dobson would be great for us and Fielden although nearly 40 and short of match fitness he would instantly add some much needed grunt.....

in all seriousness though there aren't the players available and the penalties are simply too much to even consider breaking the salary cap as Wigan did back in 06. We have to ride this one out and hope for some odd results in the middle 8's and try and avoid the million pound game.
