Quote: fc baldy "Who knows but he has........maybe didnt want to go to a club who got rid of him earlier in his career and maybe he didnt want to go there after 12yrs at Sts.'"


Point taken. ALl in all, a good signing for you. Can't see him giving you 2 good years but he will certainly do the business for you next season if the quality of the team improves around him.

If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...:



Quote: Bransholme Red "Not arguing that fact mate. What I am saying is that FC Baldy stated Wigan offered more money for Long so why would he opt for Hull instead?'"


According to Long he had made up his mind to sign for Hull on the back of what Agar had to say. Sounds like Agar sold him the club in some way?!?!

Wigans offer was clearly not as exciting to him as ours and Long is 'buzzing his t1ts off' to get to Hull. icon_biggrin.gif

Your dying to post that link to his book on here arent you? icon_lol.gif

Not at all mate. Just thought the book link was rather amusing. icon_biggrin.gif

IF you'd bothered reading my earlier post, think Long is a good signing for you.

Just a thought but this same group of players (well nearly) have got rid of our last two coaches by playing poor one up rugby.

Maybe its time to let the coach stay and get rid of the players.

I agree that the coaching doesn't seem to be up to standard i.e. moves and substitutions line speed etc. but if the players know their on there way out do you really feel that they are going to gladly do any of this, especially if they are on good wages.

Certain posters on here have been saying for years we need a clear out of personnel and it looks like it might be happening yet you want the coach to go again?

What I say is give him his chance next year with his team and a proven communicator in the side something we haven’t had in a while.

The last two times Agar took temporary charge we did play expansive rugby under his tenure (maybe this fact is lost though due to the constant doom and gloom on here.) but both times he had a communicator in the side.

Agar is on a steep learning curve but thanks to the salary cap there shouldn't need to be panic sackings every Sodding year.
Do you think Morgan was instantly a good coach or D Anderson or add at you leisure.
People talk about Kearney coming back but he had a hell of a lot of help from a certain Mr Bennet in the world Cup.

Agar maybe isn't the finished article and I’m sure he knows this but I’d rather have a bit of stability at the club and see what happens.

Lastly a certain Mr Whiteley recently said all the guile has been coached out of our players by a succession of oz coaches. I tend to agree with him.

If he was a good enough coach, he would be able to take just about any professional RL player and coach them to play his way icon_wink.gif

Fair point, anyone can coach good sides it's great coaches that get the best of players with limited ability and get them players to play for each other and with pride is the 1st step

Brian Smith did a great job with some very poor players

Why is he picking them then? Surely he'd be better with a loanee or one of the academy lads than a player who can't be ars'd

Spot on, how can a coach pick a player knowing he's not giving 100%

I'd go so far as to say that a great coach in harge of mediocre players (I belive our squad is much better than mediocre) would firstly look to wring every last ounce out of the players he has, improving every aspect of their games to maximise what skills they do have, plus he would be looking at the opposition for their weaknesses and expolit them. I haven't seen any of this from agar in his year in the job and for that he should be fired

The small badge on the front will always be bigger than the name on the back:icons66c2_files/5533-4407dorbian-msnicons.gif



All this he (Agar) will be/should be judged next year as it will be HIS team is just a load of e...sorry! Christ ALL coaches who take over teams are in the same situation....players who they haven't signed (Look at Smith and Nathen Brown), Hull might as well have given Agar a 3 1/2 year deal and said fook the first 1 1/2 as we won't judge you...we the fans still pay our money week in week out and deserve better than what we are getting....which in case anyone has forgotten is THEE WORST STYLE of rugby in SL and THEE WORST STLYE i have seen any hull side play for a long time....that is squarly at the front door of Agar!!!

I hope he does prove me wrong becuase if he doesn't i, like all of us, will be sat here this time next year stating the same thing with yet another years ed down the pan!!!

If he's still here next year I for one won't be getting a season pass. Not wasting good money watching boring one man rugby from inept coaching... The signing of two past it players in Long and Fitzgibbon isn't going to change things.
