Hull FC Est.1865... Surviving without a Head Coach since 2008 Downtheante said: "Firstly: Why shouldn't I compare him (Agar) to Fergie (Sir Alex Ferguson)?":46188.jpg



Yer good point I mean if we'd won both games that we lost nobody would be moaning about losing would we. Not a single Leeds fan would tolerate Agar as their coach so don't come on here and try and make out the guys a good coach.

Have you seen our backs? Not a top 4 quality back line IMO, although there are some exceptions in there. We're still struggling with our halves as well.

As soon as Hally went off it screwed us up. The whole weeks training and planning, with not even our 1st choice FB, went to pot. Can't blame Agar for that. If Hall played the whole match, we saw his true plans and coaching, and we lost, then there may be a point about Agar.

One point of 4th place, huge improvement on last season, just not quite there yet. Once this game loss, somehow, settles down, we will all see that.

No disrespect Kosh but it was Agar and FC who gave a player who was clearly knackered a nice big 2 year deal when his then current club were only willing to give him 1 year due to the risk.
You put that along side a player who due to health reasons looks a shadow of his former self and it doesn't take Bamber Gascoigne to work out that problems may well arrive.

Lost Radders after 10 mins last week that wouldn't have been in the game plan but we played with more passion, skill and determination with 12 men than we showed with 13 today ...a poor performance all round

" Worry is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but gets you nowhere " Wayne Bennett King Of Coaches:



I dont buy the Hall excuse for one minute, yes it was unfortunate but surely thats what coaching a rugby club is all about ?
Either way, my view is based on the whole of his tenancy and not just today although it went some way of personifying the former.

With our recruitment I expected much more, although going into a season with one proper winger proved to be his most glaring error in my view. That said young Reece showed a few good glimpses today.

Full Back is more of a pivotal role then a forward.

Its not an excuse! The better team won on the day! I'm saying it wasn't a true indication of Agar's coaching because his game plan wasn't truly shown!

We had few if any options except to go with Long, and none of the injuries he's been out with could have been 'predicted'. When fit he's looked far from 'knackered'.

Horne is on contract. I fully expect us to be looking for other options when that contract ends. Replacing one half back at a time is hard enough - we'd have had no chance of replacing both in one closed season.

Too much work needed doing for one season's recruitment and retention to fix.

It may have been an improvement on the last two years - it couldn't really have been much worse - but 7th means it has ultimately been a disappointing season.

Two derby wins and the double over Saints were great but some shocking performances and defeats by Salford, Crusaders, Wakefield and Harlequins cost us big time.

I'm still far from convinced by Richard Agar and I believe we as a big club should be aiming higher.

I actually predicted we'd finish in 7th place, so not too disappointed overall.

One thing that clearly hasn't been good enough though is our attack. We need to learn how to score points.

The point was that we couldn't see Agar's game plan to the full tonight, so do not call him a bad coach because of an injury which messed up his game plan!

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club. Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you. "Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby Union is a complex game played by wankers." L.Daley 2005:



Has improved our position but thats about it.....he is too rigid in his rotation and cant seem to get the best out of players........cant see him taking us to the next level.
