As long as that ?

Sorry, but I have never heard of this guy. Forgive me if I should have. Nor am I going to get the wan8 sock out and proclaim he is the best signing we have made.

I think we need to reserve judgement until he proves himself in some way.

Spot on.

You do realise though that if we look great Agar will get no credit for it now. It will be down to Long, Fitz and Moore.

Agar said '"Dennis has a vast experience in all levels of rugby league, and has been highly involved in the winning culture and recent successes at Manly

"He has an amazing passion for the sport and will provide a great compliment to our existing staff'

What it's really saying is that Dennis knows more about RL than I ever will, and need him to teach me how to be a coach.

Yup

By the time we have Long running the attacking plays, O'Meley and Fitz organising the defence and Moore sorting discipline Agar will be able to stick at what he's good at (hell, he'll even have time to find something he is good at, and then become GREAT at it!)

Nope.

Hell - if he had really meant that the article would have read
"Dennis knows more about RL than I ever will and I need him to teach me how to be a coach."

it's called reading between the lines on Agars words. Do you think Agar would admit that he's a carp coach?

Ever tried reading glasses ?

I doubt Agar shares your opinion of his abilities so how could he admit to something he doesn't think or believe ?

In your opinion which is fair enough.

But you implied that the reason Agar had selected Moore as assistant was really because he knew was cr@p himself ? I suggest it was probably because like any coach he wanted the best assistant he could get and after assessing the available options and listening to recommendations he chose Moore.

The one thing that all the players who have signed have mentioned is Agar's vision and enthusiasm as a key factor for wanting to sign for Hull. Maybe if he's got a good assistant with a seniority to match, he can take a little more of a backseat and think big picture about the vision for the season and communicate that to the players. Maybe it means agar will be the strategy man whereas moore will be in charge of tactics- doubt it though!

Yeah, can picture it now:

Reet lads, arve ad a vision and it's us winnin' t'cup and t'grand final. You get yoursens on wi it and I'll see you August bank holiday weekend in the hotel in London
