The quota issue only came into it because we signed Fitz & O'Meley, I think they are both great but a half was a bigger priority. And yes I love Sammy but if we could have let him go and got in a Witt/Sammut type signing then I'd have been happy with that. Agar doesn't use Moa anyway.

If you want to say Agar inherited such a big mess because of the poor squad planning of his predecessors, then there's an example of Agar planning just as badly.

Not really, the fans wanted a big name 7 after Thorman, they got possibly the biggest. Our fans wouldn't have been happy with a Hanbury or Sammut at the time.
All 3 were signed because of the squad needing leadership.

So Rich was selflessly giving the fans the big name signings that they supposedly craved at the expense of his chances of success?

or was it just that the board knew that Long would sell more season passes than Hanbury or Sammut?

Whichever way you look at it, while Agar may have had to spend time sorting out problems with the squad created by his predecessors, he's certainly created quite a few of his own.

You are extremely hard work East Hull but I'm starting to like you
