And when did PS arrive?

Its wrong.......Sharp was here for the Wigan match but let Agar continue with it.

well he did did contribute then, he managed it as he saw fit, wonder who picked the squad, the waterboy maybe:lol:

The squad was the same as when Kear was picking it.

I agree and disagree, the players attitude was poor under Kear and they obviously wanted to impress their new coach also...but I think Sharp deserves some credit for sorting the defense and intensity out, we started playing for 80mins every week whereas even under Kear we'd blow hot and cold and lose games we were dominating (managing to lose a 16 or 18-0 lead at half time to wigan at home in 2005 being a prime example)

unfortunately for Sharp and the club Sharp isn't a head coach (rubbish with the media, poor recruitment) but I still think he'd be a good coach or assistant for somebody

A lot of different accounts here
Sharpe arrived
Sharpe let Agar carry on
Kear picked the team, and then the team picked themselves








As much as it may pain some Agar did play a massive part in us reaching the G/final that year.

Doubt it but a couple of top signings would point us in the right direction.

In fact they dont have to even be top signings, if we had Brett Hodgson and Dobson in our side for next season we would be challenging IMO.

These two werent top signings just good ones in the correct positions.

I do believe Richard Swain had more influence in getting Hull to the GF than either Agar or Peter Sharp.

exactly, signing the big name isn't always the best option

Nobody said that the team picked themselves. The point you've missed is that Agar pretty much changed nothing after Kear left and yet we started winning. This was down to the change in the players attitude once Kear left.

Peter Sharp came in part way through that winning run, so Agar wasn't even acting coach for the whole of it nor our GF visit.


I'd be happy to consider any evidence you might have to back that up.

Not as simple as that though Kosh, Agar must have been doing something, even if it was giving the team more freedom. The fact was we started winning and playing decent rugby and whislt players attitudes will have contributed to it so will the little things that Agar did.

The players realised they had to start playng as they needed to impress the new gafar, they also knew Rich who they had a lot of time for.

You will find evidence on most threads (even I admit to questioning his ability whilst still sulking after a match)
