If this was the case, Agar should have resigned and stated the board will not back him. Any decent coach couldn't work with those constraints, so I doubt this was the case.

The problem is that he doesn't have the respect of the players

Yes any decent coach would but.....

Or the majority of the fans

By the time next season starts he will have been in the job 21 months with a 30% win ratio, there or thereabouts. The club say he needs to wait for players' contracts to expire and get new players in before he can do anything. Frankly that's shocking, as it effectively admits he has lost a sizeable proportion of the dressing room (if he had it to start with).


Maybe they are right, but there is not a single shred of evidence to suggest we will have a gameplan and galvanise the quality we have in the squad to deliver its best next year. The only reasons for optimism next year are that we have a better pack who may take it upon themselves to get us going forward, and a decent scrum half. Don't forget that Fitz and O'Meley have yet to get visas, Yeaman has a serious injury and Berro may miss the start of the season. Chuck in our normal selection of injuries picked up in pre season training and a "if you see it, play it" gameplan manual and I can't see grounds for much optimism. And I'm very much a "glass half full" fan.

You mean it's as full as that? I'm suprised Fitzy didn't say to the Hull board, I'll come, on the grounds you get a coach who knows what he's doing. He must have been told the goings on and the ability of our so called 'coach' from the other australian players, so either he's got got the IQ of Forrest Gump and believed everything that Agar said, or he's getting paid far too much to care. My bet would be the latter.

I have not even got a glass tbh!!

I have a feeling.....In fact.....I JUST KNOW....We will be singing 'Richard Agars Barmy Army' next season......Even all of you that have been calling for his head on a spike......LET THE BACK-PEDALING BEGIN


I've got faith in the guy.......always did....Can't bleedin' wait to say 'Told ya so'

One strange decision though is that he kept Thackray one of the main booze crew and well known slacker at training and let Wheeldon go to the dark side, who is a top trainer and now with a good coach is starting to fly, last season at the KC he was the best prop on the field against Rovers which is why Morgan signed him. Any one remember his hit on Morley who got up and shook his hand.

We all have to start somewhere mate......Agar is at the 'best college' there is.....Hull FC. His 'mock' exams were a bit dodgy.......But I believe he has now got a sharp pencil and a 'Mont Blanc' (look that up ) pen!!!!
