3 wins (going back into last season) in 17 league games isn't the sign of a good SL coach... Kear got more with a worse squad...

But you can't ignore the slaughter of events prior to the season starting, it's 3 wins from 17 but the last 8 have been with an almost completely different squad. I'm not a fan of Agar but I won't use an unbalanced argument just to have a pop at him.

Same if not worse applied to Kear.

I'd say worse, had to rely on more kids (and maybe loans?)

Yep, think a raw boned Amor was one.

Well don't expect to see Joe Arundle and Jay Pitts because Radfords helped his old team out by allowing both to go to Bradford on a season long loan with no recall option.

I'd have liked us to bring Pitts back to Wakefield if possible.

To play where exactly? Fullback?

Second row or loose forward, we've got Kirmond carrying injury and we've lost Lauitiiti for a long time, then there's Washbrook who needs dropping. Pitts is home grown and would tick that box as well.

Pitts would be a better bet than Washbrook and Arundal than Lyne in the centre for me but given they are Richards favourites that would never happen anyway so would be a waste of money.

Greg Eden has just gone on loan to Salford as well, there could be an argument to say he would have been an option at fullback seeing how we seem to want more attcking threat there than Mathers offers and Sammut is probably our best option at stand off.

All about opinions though.

Richard Agar said we have a fit squad aside from Ali and Keinhorst.

Greg Eden gone to Salford on loan as well. Pitts could have done a job for you but i think Arudels confidence is shot since the serious shoulder job and he had a nightmare against Salford in defence. Has agar tried to loan any forwards? I know you've got Riley and Briscoe in the backs.

To be honest if we need any loan players its a couple of 3/4s

We already have two three quarters on loan that have offered nothing whatsoever to the team.
In fact we have plenty of our own crap, why borrow even more from other clubs ?

Because we don't have any funds, especially at this time in the season.

My 17 for Hull would be
20. Sammut
2. Fox
3. Collis
5. Lyne
31. Riley
29. Siejka
7. Godinet
8. Anderson
9. McShane
23. Smith
15. Ryan
12. Kirmond
26. Molloy
Subs
14. Wildie
22. Walshaw
17. Tautai
16. Moore

Scruton, Washbrook, Sykes, Raleigh and Mathers to miss out along with Annakin (toss up between him and Molloy for LF)
