I personally think that Sharp was very unlucky during his time with Hull and that he was made a bit of a scapegoat in the end.

He certainly made a huge impression when he first came, especially with discipline, although granted, he may not have seen that through to the end of his tenure.

He also had a lot to deal with in a short space of time. He lost his two best players within six weeks of each other in Cooke and Swain. Say what you want about Cooke, but Sharp had built his attack around him and of course, his entire side around Swain. I personally think that losing Swain prompted the beginning of the end for him, although he should have been able to overcome that loss.

As for being poor with the media, I disagree. He had a dry manner, which I don't always think came across correctly, but he was certainly not poor with the media and if anything, was one of the more entertaining coaches. His greatest downfall in this respect was probably that he didn't say what the fans wanted to hear from time to time, especially in relation to Derby games. But I don't think it was intentional.

I'd start Whiting at stand off against Leeds.

Sorry guys couldn't help myself.

I`m sorry to say but Hull FC will not progress with Agar as Head Coach.
I hoped we would . He`s young and British but this season has proved he is out of his depth .
We all knew at the end of 2008 that we needed a General in the side . Agar gets Thorman .
His team selection is baffling . His interchanges by numbers is baffling.
He is not the calibre of Coach that will attract top class talent to the Club.
We should have gone for a "New Broom" when P Sharp was sacked.
Agar has been assistant to the 2 previous "sacked" Coaches of Hull FC.
Maybe he was part of the problem?

Anyone want to change their opinion?
