I guess this is when we find out how mentally tough he is. If he persists in playing Horne and going with tried and failed halfback pairings we will know the answer.
Tansey is the only one who can do out with ball in hand, so let him get the ball as much as possible. If we are to play a running stand off then lets have someone there with pace, ie. Turner.
The worrying thing about this defeat for me is Agar’s apparent lack of creativity once Long is out of the side.
Take any starting scrum half out of any RL side and they will struggle, but the fact is, we have had more practise with this scenario than any other side over recent seasons, yet we still get it wrong.
Agar had said over the close season that he now had more options and choices should Long get injured. The first time he gets an opportunity to utilise some of these so called options, he chooses Washy & Horne, a combination that has failed to deliver on several occasions.
I desperately want Agar to succeed as Hull coach, but he failed his first real coaching test of the season miserably imo.
