Here's one to ponder

Quote: Mugwump "When Saints took a punt on Millward (who was highly rated by Graham Murray) he revolutionised the game in Britain by turning the dummy half into a massive yardage maker, attacking through the ruck area using lighter and more mobile forwards and increasing the skill-set of players so that they could be employed in unusual positions to devastating effect. When Anderson arrived he revolutionised the game in terms of defence. In his first season he brought his NZ Warriors tactics with him - employing a massive (but highly mobile) set of forwards to smash the opposition at the gain line. At times it was almost impossible to make more than thirty yards per set of six vs Saints. Potter is another highly rated Australian coach who slowly turning Saints around to his own style of play.

Saints have consistently invested in QUALITY COACHING - with successive coaches building on the work of his predecessor - and it has consistently paid dividends. All of the above earned their spurs in the NRL where the best techniques and practice are continuously applied, so much so that it is viewed almost as a science.

Agar is a product of the British coaching system, which is renowned for failure after failure. Which goes a long way toward explaining Hull's current predicament.'"

I couldn't agree more, but therein lies the problem the board won't invest the required money for the right quality coach which has left us with Kear, Sharp and now Agar. Our whole system needs changing from the youth development upwards, the right coach could transform Hull into a top 4 side within a season I feel.
