It will be interesting to see how Lauaki plays elsewhere if he goes. Just hope that we don't have to wait until he's tearing it up for Wigan next year for AP to see that maybe the problem is our coach after all.

I think lauaki has been a big disapointment but i think if he moves on we will see a better player...which is a big shame..we all know he hasnt been used as he should have been.

Interesting, this. Lauaki is the obvious example, but I wonder what most of our players would like like playing for other teams under good coaches. Interesting that all three Hull players shone for the exiles, even though none have been the same since... oh, hang on...

I hope you're right and it would obviously make the most sense but we, as Hull fans, are often right to be a little pessimistic/overly concerned about all things B&W.

Especially where Agar is concerned!

How has he still got his job? Hopefully, AP will be the guy to see him for what he is and get rid at the first realistic opportunity. Even if that has to be after yet another poor season has finished.

I think there are two Richard Agars.

There's the one that we and all other fans of the game see, he's the one who coaches the players, decides on team tactics and interchanges.

Then there's the other one, he's the obviously knowledgeable, vibrant, young British coach, who convinces his employers that he is and always will be the right man for the job. He just needs a little more time to build 'his' team and then we will be perpetual treble winners

The thing that concerned me about the interview with Adam Pearson was when he said: "in rugby league it's all about players". If you speak to James Rule about how crap Agar is, he tells you the same thing (over and over) and he really believes it!!

Has Rule convinced Pearson that Agar is a great coach and it's down to player recruitment?? I think he has, BUT can't see Adam going along with it for too long, maybe one more season. Get rid of the coach and at least a thousand will come back overnight I'm sure.

One thing's for certain, if he isn't gone by the time they start selling season passes I won't be renewing mine

Pearson is nobody's fool,He'll know full well what needs doing before he handed over a penny. He'll have sat down and looked hard at the club,sought advice,and lots of it about were we as a club are lacking. Now anyone with an ounce of knowledge of the game will have told him our coach is out of his depth. He's hardly going to walk through the door,6 games before the end of the season and tell Agar to clear his desk,he'll see this season out and i think we'll see a strategic climb down by Agar and he'll walk. Anyone who thinks AP has just paid out a few million quid without seeking extensive advice is deluded and doing the man a great disservice.

I suppose the worry would be who he's taken advice from. As everybody barring the Hull fc supporters seems to believe Agar is some sort of RL guru. I see in Martin Sadlers column he's says much the same.

I think it's fairly safe to say that Martin Saddlebag won't have been on his list of advisors. Plenty of other people from other clubs can see Agar for what he is and regularly share them with us.

True, but still would be interesting to know (if anbody) who AP has taken advice from before going ahead with this purchase.

He WILL have taken advice,from who is another matter. Given the secrecy that the deal went through it must be someone he trusts.

And we wont be renewing ours, and i bet a fair few others will not be renewing theirs!
