We all know and want him to produce a trophy winning formula and entertaining rugby.
But, how? What does he do? and what does he say?'"
I don't understand what you're getting at? Are you literally asking me to say what he should be telling the players?
Besides, knowing what you want the players to be doing is only a small part of it... the real skill is in translating that into on the field performances.
I think this might be a big part of why he's hung around so long, maybe he talks a really good game to Rule and the board and he obviously impressed you last night, but when it comes down to it he can't put it into practice.

| Quote: FC Wembley 08 "I don't buy into that nonsense i'm afraid.
We run 3 competitions;
The Superleague
The Grand Final Series
The Challenge Cup
The way i understand it is this;
The league plays out as with any other league. League positions 1 to 14. The league winners receive the League Leaders shield.
The top 8 qualify for the Grand Final playoff series. Prize money is pooled and paid out depending on the effective placement in that competition. So you can come 7th in the playoffs but you still finished 6th in the superleague. It is to do with prize money and a way of distributing it.
Unless i see evidence otherwise, obviously.'"
The evidence is that there is no such competition as 'The Grand Final Series'.... when have you ever heard that mentioned?!

Your points, though lovely put across, count for nothing with the anti Hull FC undertone you create. It's the polar opposite to EXPRO, who is very pro Hull FC, his views are also laughed off.
You are the anti-EXPRO and I claim my £5.

This doesn't imply that any league positions are 'amended', but does imply that there is a 'minor premiership' and a 'grand final'....
Maybe the RFL don't know themselves but i know that the Superleague 2010 table says we finished 6th AFTER the playoffs..

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind. I can only aspire that one day my posts can have the same high level of intrinsic value and widespread appreciation that yours do.

To be fair I've got to hand it to you, I've never seen someone try to rewrite the rules of a competition in order to prove a point
Nobody said anything about 'league positions being amended' but there are league positions and there are final standings after the playoffs. All the league leader's shield is is a trophy which recognises the team that finished top of the league, it doesn't mean it is a separate competition from the playoffs!

That's exactly what i'm asking, no simplifying, no exaggerations, just simply what you want a coach to do to achieve what you want, how he gets that through to the players and what another coach does differently.
We all agree that Rich is a nice guy and i get on with him well. I'm not saying he's the best coach in the world or that he'll ever achieve the things we all want, but i'm giving him the chance he deserves. Yes he impressed me last night because his attention to detail on things like his prematch prep and training is amazing. He's been given the chance to rebuild the club, get rid of the deadwood and give us a foundation to build on. I think we will start to see these benefits and year on year improve, that's all i ask for!!

| So anyway, 2000 passes down on last year, sack the board, sack Agar, bring back David Latham and Phil Windley
Sign Andy Mighty to replace Calderwood and we'll all be happy

You are asking me about coaching techniques and I don't know the answers, but then I'm not paid a six-figure salary to know. I'm sure his intentions are magnificent but all I can do is judge the team on performances and results and over the 2 1/2 years he's been here he's consistently come up short.
Beyond that, you clearly have something of a relationship with the guy so it's pointless discussing his failings much further.

| Quote: FC Wembley 08 "I honestly don't see where is 'it's obvious he's not good enough' talk comes from!! Our problems run deeper than just the coach. I've said before, it will take time to correct the problems of previous bad management, and sometimes you need to hit rock bottom to come back up to the top. This is where the fans come in to support the club as much as possible. We are on the up, the players (ie Joe Westerman last night) know it's a massive club (and came because it's a massive club), but know there has been bad management before, they know we have the ability to win things but it's a longer process then saying 'go out there lads, play amazing rugby and sweep up the competition'.
As i said, alot more detail goes into the game than i imagined and i think Rich does an excellent job. We are yet to be proved right or wrong until his long term plan starts to come to fruition but i'll back him until we go backwards under his management!!'"
I've seen virtually nothing in agar's near 3 year tenure to suggest he is a good coach and a huge amount to suggest he isn't. In 35 years of watching and playing the game I've seen very few coaches with as much money and resource produce so little on the pitch.
If you can provide me with some evidence that he is doing an "excellent job" then I'll happily consider it

| Quote: FC Wembley 08 "I agree with you but the highlight is for prize money purposes only. The league does run seperately, maybe not an entirely different comp, but it runs seperate. So prize money wise, we finished 7th. But in the Superleague table we finished 6th. Interpret it however you like, i have
But according to your argument: imagine the grand final was contested between Wigan and Crusaders and Crusaders won... are you saying that Wigan would still have received more prize money?
