10603.jpg Is it true that Richard Agar's favorite movie of all time is Groundhog Day or does he just generally like the same boring s**t day after day, season after season?:10603.jpg |

| Quote: sandy "not doubting his abilities but surely the definition of doing a good job coaching the age groups is how many come through to the first team not if you win the u 20's cup then all the players move on or drift into amateur.
Not too many have come through on andy last's watch for whatever reason.'"
Andy Last has continually but out a competative side at U20's level. If the head coach of the club doesn't have the foresight or balls to give some of the youngsters a chance to progress to the first team squad then there isn't much Last can do, but he certainly shouldn't shoulder any of the blame for that.
Reading about what Gentle has had to say about developing youngsters and giving them a chance I think Last's record will speak volumes and hopefully allow him the oppertunity to work with a coach who is prepared to give youth a chance.

Not surprising when you have a coaching guru like agar at the helm now.
pleb thinks he's too old to get his 1st head coach job too

What if he's right though?
I want him to succeed like the rest of us but have a slight fear weve just employed another Peter Sharp.

He's in for a disappointment then:
Peter Gentle 42
Matt Cameron 42
Kevin Moore 45 (albeit he's had a head coaching job before and been sacked)
Kurt Wrigley 46

There's always a risk. I'd be more worried if we didn't have mcrae on board as I think there's too much work at Hull for one man currently

Sharp was actually a decent coach, just poor at recruitment. McRae will have a large role to play there and has been good with his recruitment in the past.
There's always a slight risk involved when you appoint a coach, even if they have a good track record previously. I'm not counting any chickens but at the same time I don't see a reason for any particular concern.

Sharp's Achilles heel was his mania for turning everyone into a utility player. Something that has been prolonged under Agar, with everyone being rotated into new positions every time someone gets injured, instead of bringing in a novice specialist to work amongst a team of experienced supportive specislists.
This is something that Gentle has already idntified as a major weakness, so I doubt he's a new Sharp.

Playing Washbrook out of position was, by-and-large, out of necessity due to injuries in the halves and at 9. This has definitely been to his detriment with some on here and in the stands calling for him to exit the club when a season earlier may of us saw him as a star of the future. However, I think his performances at 13 recently tell us where he should be playing. I really hope he stays and gets a shot under Gentle even though it would mean keeping Westerman in the 2nd row for a little longer. After all, it is unlikely that an Australian coach will play a ball-playing 13. Another thing to remember is that he has been learning his trade under Fitz and you can see it in the way he takes the ball up now and the way he tackles. What a waste to let that investment go without nurturing him further under the new coaching set up.

Sharp had little choice with turning people into utility players as he had an injury crisis that Agar could only have nightmares about. We lost so many players at the same time that it simply wasn't feasible to bring in a few 'novice specialists' and a lot of shuffling about was inevitable. His Achilles heel was recruitment.

Think Gentle has already identified Washy as a back rower, but looks like he's Wakey bound.
It's not just Washy, either, I'm really looking forward to seeing how our other positional flounderers shape up under Gentle and who ends up where in the team. Whiting? Turner? Westy? Will Briscoe even stay on the wing?

Sharp went on record as saying he preferred players to be able to undertake a utility role. The obvious example was the booting out of the specialist Briscoe for multi tasking Motu. Never understood why he tried to make Tony into a fullback. So unnecessary.
