Let's just get behind him. I've got a feeling he's got a lot to prove now unlike some candidates, Hull seem to be gaining momentum on the field and as a club we are moving forward too. From the off Hull fans were determined he'd never succeed, I think that filtered down to the staff and I don't want that to happen here.

"Show us the way Rich!"

...unless Poching takes over.

I should start following those two really to find out the latest news from the club. (Great to see the spelling errors on an official club tweet yesterday. Sort it out 'Details Man' will you.)

you'll be going to games next with that level of enthusiasm.

I'd be playing if Kear had his way!

Disaster....now nearly losing your club earlier in the year was a disaster.....
Employing a coach who has gained a invaluable experience clearing out deadwood, bringing through some exciting players Briscoe, Houghton, attracting top international Australians, setting good standards, and ethics and being highly respected by his players...that is not a disaster that is a positive plan towards ensuring your club survives and succeeds in SL!

Think we need to lay off Agar if so and BACK HIM! let him be judged on his tenure here.

I think we as wakey fans are just not happy without something to moan about. Let's just back the man. He has had an invaluable learning process at hull and he should get that clean slate.

Also can we merge these agar threads into one?

Stop moaning

Just glad we now seem to have got a coach after all the apparent b*ggering about.

Richard Agar wouldn't have been my first choice, but then again I don't suppose Wayne Bennet would have come for what we could offer him.
Richard gets a clean slate from me and I'll get behind him and the team. Whoever has been coach over the years has never stopped me from watching (eg. Len Casey, Mitch Brennan Great player Len, but no coach)).

Let's get the official announcement made and move on to preparing for a good season next year.

I'm ready to back him because without our support the players and whoever the coach is will never succeed as well as they would WITH our support. Remember Hull (particularly at Boothferry) was always an "intimidating" fixture and I'm sure it affected players of both sides, and probably the ref.

So let's get behind whoever it is ........ JUST LET US KNOW WHO IT IS!!!

Good post ,We should suport who ever gets the job for the good of the club we almost lost .Up the trin

As I've posted before will support AR if he is the choice. Article in today's Hull Daily Mail says Wakey approached Agar several weeks ago. If this is the case and they knew who they wanted why go through the rigmarole of interviewing several coaches if they knew who they wanted?

Fact... Poor season on field.

Fact... Poor start off field.

Fact.... Negative press aplenty.

We could have aimed for top coaches but it's unrealistic to expect them to come at the early stage of the clubs plan to become a professional outfit.

Agar will be affordable, and dare I say one of the best candidates on the list of who applied. We want a coach who wants to come to Wakefield.

Agar has alot to prove and although not quite achieved expectations at hull he has been ok, 2 x playoffs in last 2 seasons is nothing to be sniffed at. The hull fans want top 4...we want playoffs or there abouts.

Agar is a model charachter, and appears to instill a work ethic and professionalism in his playing staff. This is what we are trying to achieve and agar may be the best we can get for the money and what he offers.

We are just not in the Market for a micheal maguire or a Peter gentle but we could be in 2 years. that's why with the ST offer us fans need to take up the SUPER offer and back our club as best we can.

Let's give the guy a shot. New club, new staff, new surroundings.

The main priority in the successful candidate in my opinion should be developing youngsters and being able to bridge the gap/divide between academy to first team. People talk about attracting top quality imports, however, I think clubs with bigger reputations and salary caps will struggle given the rise in salaries in the NRL.

I won't pretend Agar was my 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th choice of coach but that said he'll get my full backing if he is announced. I interviewed him as a young coach just starting out and i remember coming away rather impressed with his knowledge and understanding of the game. So, I say give the guy a chance.

If true, he's mate's with Elston then JE is taking a big risk employing him.

theres only one thing that happens when two mates work together and the pressure is on its disaster 9 times out of 10
