Can agar really be blamed for the 5 drives drives and kick though ??

Its just funny when Kear apparently lost the dressing room the players went into this 5 drives and a kick gameplan - The same with peter sharp and now we are seeing the same problems now Under Agar. You cant tell me that 3 coaches all play 5 drives and kick. Both Peter Sharp and Agar promoted attacking rugby and under both coaches we have ending up playing identical rugby. You cant say its Agars style of play because when he was at york there was no sign of 5 drives and a kick to the fullback.

Carvell wanted to go, he would still be a Hull player if he didnt. To get any kind of fee for a player in the modern game that has spent more of his FC career on the sideline than in the team is pretty sound business imo

Did you watch his half time team talks on Rugby League Raw though? Uninspiring at best, he seemed the worst coach featured in the series.

The one consistent from kear, through sharp and agar is agar himself. He wasn't around when mcrae had us playing an exciting brand of attacking rugby

For whatever reason, I agree he wanted to leave. In terms of compensation, 50k was woefully short of the mark. The Wire fans I've spoke to think they should have paid double. Carvell would start in any SL side.

I think when Longy turns up next season he will put Agar into a steep learning curve, Longy, Cunningham and Sculthorpe very much operated in some coaching capacity in the way the game is played, attacking options, set plays, opposition weakness etc.
Longy will have a big impact more on the training pitch and will gel the side into a tighter unit to suit his match play.
The prospect of a Longy/Horne partnership looks a promising one and with Tickle doing the goal kicks, I can see Longy performing in the same transition as Steve Prescott.

Agree he would start for any SL team when fit. However 50k for a guy thats at the back end of his career and has missed a chunk of the season for Wire too this season is still pretty good im, especially when we pay 30k for someone who is one of the brightest prospects in the game.

Since we were paying him double that in wages a season and had him signed up for 2 years I disagree.

Carvell was certainly worth more than £50k. The problem was that we were backed into a corner because the contract issue happened so late on and we needed to resolve it ASAP. If we'd had the luxury of more time maybe we'd have been able to hold out for a bigger fee.

Totally Agree - But another i would say is Lee Radford - The guy thinks hes a coach and im sure hes having a big say in what happens coaching wise at this club.

That's agar's fault as well then if it's happening
