They will because he will be able to play to his strengths (within the squad, like he is this year by playing it in the forwards), we have no half backs, how do you expect him to coach inventive attacking rugby when he hasn't got the personnel to do that.

exactly, you didn't see Wire messing about 'waiting for next year' they acted swiftly, and spent money where it was needed.

It's not just the 4 or 5 players thing though, he'll have a leader, organiser and inventor on the pitch next season and he'll have had 4 months (minimum) of him working with the squad. I've been one of Agars loudest critics but he's had nothing to work with.

Can people who have been tonight comment on this thread or is it just for the armchair fans ?

he's been heavily involved with the side since Kear's days, its hardly like he walked in last season and had to be introduced to everyone. The problems should have been obvious before he even got the head coach's job, its a whole year later and we're no better than we were then.

Mate, you're living in cloud cuckoo land. A lack of a half back doesn't stop us from getting quick PTB, dominating the opposition in defence, making effective interchanges, offloading the ball, backing up the man in posession, running dummy runners, kicking the ball effectively, chasing down kicks as though we're actually interested. It's all down to pish poor coaching. You can tell yourself all you want that sean long will make everything OK again but take it from me, he won't

He couldn't do anything as assistant coach, our main problem lies with the personnel on the pitch, something he could do nothing about until now because of contracts etc.

They saw it needed changing, & did it.
Very pro-active & it's paid off.
No chance of Hull ever doing it though!
