Never a good thing when a coach starts complaining about the opposition's fans.

That really is a sign that the pressure's getting to him.

A coach complaining about the ref and opposition fans after his team had just had 48 points put past them.
Good to see he's indentified the real problem for his squad!

Perhaps Hull should play behind closed doors

When Nathan Brown coached Hudds to do this last year, the media where united in praise for the new wrestling/delaying technique.

We start doing it this year and everyone moans about it.

Agar wants to shut his mouth. Wigans defence had nothing to do with Hull conceding nearly 50 points last night.

I wonder if the World Club Champions do it.

I think Agar has a sour taste in his mouth, anyway after last night he should look at his own team before before he bangs his gums.

FC fans are the nicest fans in the world, they never give away supporters problems or get on the back of officall's at their place either.

Black, Pot, Kettle, Calling.

Put these in the right order Agar.

Put them on the Agar and make a brew.

Nice

I suspect that Agar is yet another of these relatively inexperienced British coaches who is soon going to realise that he's out of his depth.

Everything's going fine and dandy for him. He's basically a nobody, but his club keeps signing decent players who he presumes will win trophies for him. And then the penny drops that some of these players know quite a lot more about the game than he does.

No wonder he's looking to divert people's attention.

If your read the full article he makes the point that his own fans do it every week aswell so fair play to him.

At the end of the day Hulls discipline was appalling last night and thats no fault of ours. I got the feeling Hull got a little bit too concerned with the talk of our delaying tactics and decided they'd try and match us. The fact is though Maguire is coaching us some clever and legal tecniques whereas Hull looked a total shambles trying to do it and it was blatantly obvious.

Spot on, how he has landed in a job as potentially big as the Hull one, is a mystery.

warrington were at it lat night , trying to turn bradford players onto their backs.
they got pinged for it a few times . chicken wing tackles and all

Dont worry, if we keep winning and actually look like winning something, the rules will change faster than you can
say "spirit of the cap!"

Whilst we were wrestling, I thought hull did just as much messing about at the play of the ball, the only difference was
we were a lot quicker at getting up.

Paul Cullen was bob on on Wednesdays boots'n'all.
If we have two second play the balls then all we will see is scooter hookers going from dummy half.

I don't have a problem with a quick play the ball, but what I do have a problem with is the quick play the ball when the ball is NOT touched with the foot. It gives far too much of an advantage to the attacking team.

There has to be some reward for good defence.
On a similar topic the swarm tackle with three men can be offset with good ball playing forwards (Brian McTigue etc) would have loved the tactic.
Tronc at Wakefield seems very adept at that facet of his game.

What ever next you cant even shout at a rugby game i say shout up and concertrate on your own team/fans

After all the time Craig Fitzgibbon was holding down at times on Friday I thought he was have a nap.

Now Agar is calling for 2 refs as they have in the NRL. Does he really think that would have turned the penalty count in their favour on Friday night? Stands to reason I suppose, when the opposition put nearly 50 points on you, it must be down to poor refereeing of the tackle

At his age,why not?
