wat you on about adult education :s

I think since stepping up to the top job Agar has done well (overall, with just the odd exception) in assembling an improved squad. Utilising it has been a bit more uneven - but even there I think a 16-11 record is a sign of green shoots. It may not have been a sparkling spectacle but perhaps you have to walk before you can run.
The issue of negativity that Standee raised I suspect reflects the way the season ended on a bit of a downer, but I think running-down Agar is a habit for some of you. Complaining when you're losing - fair enough. But then when you start winning, you complain about how you are winning - that is 'hard to please' IMO. He annoyed me twice last season - that has got to represent progress!

Reardon was a poor signing from a PR POV, didn't really matter in Rugby terms, did it?

Bit confused by this as you say we are negative because the season ended badly (3 straight defeats including the playoff) but then go on to say we are negative even when we are winning... it can't be both?

Re Reardon no it didn't matter on the playing side but making a signing that you know is going to cause a storm and then realising the guy wasn't even able to play is hardly the work of a master recruiter

It can be both.

I think Hull FC fans' perceptions of 2010 have been, perhaps understandably but probably excessively, coloured by a disappointing end to the campaign.
One of the ways in which that manifests is in de-emphasising or devaluing earlier successes.

That is a simplification of course and it wasn't like there weren't complaints earlier in the year. Some of them justified - I can do gloom, but you make it difficult by being so miserable already.

Spot on. Fully agree with the above.

stop been negative, get behind the team and im very confident that 2011 will be better then last. recruitment been good and with still room to sign someone else were going into the new season with a better squad then last and with better luck with injuries espcially to key players then who knows what can happen. i dont think agar is the man to take us to the top and challenge for honours year in year out but i will certainly get behind the club and hope agar proves me wrong lets just see how the season goes before we start moaning ffs.
