I've not forgotten, I was at every game.

I think we're playing more up the middle than last season, not pushing it out to the wings. We're slower too.

I blame the whole set up, but I don't think having Jon Sharp on the coaching staff will help us play fast, expansive, creative rugby. He did nothing for Hudds, and he'll do nothing for us. It was a sideways step, not a forward one.

I'm not sure about that. Five of our first choice backs are full internationals after all.

Daft as it may sound, I think much of the problem in the backs may be down to all apart from Tony being English. We, as a country, have struggled for quality backs for years, particularly at centre and half, which is where Hull are lacking. We saw the difference a top half could make when Head came over, and in the games Dykes played last year, but there isn't anyone here anywhere near that standard, least of all Thorman.

Not that long hopefully .

I thought I was too, but obviously I missed a shedload where we revelled in wide running and wing play.

SL is slower as a whole this year thanks to the 'wrestle' interpretations being altered. See Huddersfield for the prime example. We're just particularly poor at this area so it stands out more.

I too blame the whole coaching setup, but Agar is the man in charge so must receive the lion's share. Jon Sharp definitely won't help us play good rugby, as he's mainly here to take care of the defensive side.

As trys'r'us said, Agar has supposedly been focussed on our attack for the past couple of years and it has consistently looked woeful. Do we need a big flashing neon sign pointing out this coincidence?

Bring Matt Head back, when we released him i was gutted, he was class IMO, actually tried something different instead of wait till the last tackle then do a poor kick (Thorman)

If we get of Agar then Sharp will get the job and we will still play the same rugby, keep Agar unless someone absolutley superb(KEARNEY ) wants the job. Then at the end of the season get rid of 10 players and the coach get a new man in and a frsh start.

Once again, something that was mentioned at the time. But apparently Agar's natural attacking flair was being stifled by Peter Sharpe. Or something.

Looks like it might have been the other way around, doesn't it?

His 200K + wage demands were and would be in the future a stumbling block.
Hull wanted him . He wanted a massive deal.

what a whinging set ov bar stewards u hull fans are keep cheering them on ther doing well again this year ps keep agar hes doin well

John Sharp will be a better coach for hull

agar will be assistant again

now now danny boy u getting upset

You mean Matty Head who was on minimum wage 1 year deal last season with Wests ?
