Could be worse, we could have Potter coaching and Platt in our squad!

Things to clear up at Hull I understand before an announcement could be made.

Just been infomed Chester may have an opportunity at Hull FC. If this is the case then I hope Agars first appointment is Glen Morrison as player/Assistant coach

Time to cut the crap and suport our new coach . Hold tight here we again .Up the trin

Ill give him a chance for sure and will be interested to see who he signs and how we play differently but this..



A guy who I believe hasn't given a SL debut to any young players this year IIRC ? hmm

Also I think to appease his signing Glenn Morrison has to be appointed assistant + player role.

Good to see your all getting behind him! He's a nice bloke and not a bad coach, think it's been said he did'nt have the best of luck at our place, but a change was definitely needed for us. I'm sure he will do better for you lot and won't let you down. Good Luck.

Tell you what though that article on the website is a load of bull! Of the four young players mentioned as having their careers 'launched' by Agar, two of them, Briscoe & Houghton, were given their debut by Peter Sharp and Jordan Turner played four seasons at Salford before Hull signed him! And the Westerman quote is a matter of opinion! I know we need to big this up but at least get it factually correct!

Great post. Whatever the circumstances of his appointment, we now need to get behind him and the team. Will be sorting out my STs this weekend. Lets judge the guy when he has got a season under his belt.

Hows Mick Potter getting on at Bradford?

Hahahaha.

and Peter Sharp was Hull Coach at Old Trafford.

Fingers crossed that is the case. Many clubs these days have more than one assistant coach anyway, look at Deacon acting as backup to Wane & McGuire at Wigan, Cummins and St Hilare at Bradford, Purtill & Anderson were assitants to Brown at Hudds for years etc, etc. There should be room for Morrison anyway.

Shocking but no surprise.
Nice attempt to polish a turd on the Official website though.
What a way to end an already poor season.

Press release peddles the myth of "successfully coaching the team to a Grand Final" which he didn't. Who writes this rubbish?

Thank god for that, Again not my choice but he is ours now and should all back him to the hilt.

One Richard Agar, There's only one Richard Agar!!!!!!

He is our coach now and as such I wish him every success. I hear good things from people who know a great deal more than me. I am told by people whose opinion I trust that RA is a great choice of coach for us.
I am sure that I am guilty of jumping to an opinion about RA from the persona that is portrayed on TV and by comments made by Hull fans who may well be just the vocal minority. It is obvious that RA does not court publicity, we never see him as a sky guest, he may just be the sort of chap who likes to quietly go about doing the best job he can possibly do. I am told that he will work well with our excellent youth rugby staff, that he has a fantastic work ethic, that he got rid of the drinking culture at Hull, that he got rid of problem players, that he is very well regarded by players loke O`Mealy, Fitsgibbon and Manu. Good luck to RA. I am pleased that I have taken the time to speak to people in the game, outside of Wakefield to find out more about the man.
