Shame he can't beat that into the Board, Shareholders, Rule and some of the players

I give Agar 6-8 games then I think Sharp will be the head man.

12 games, max.

Possibly, he defo wont last the season.

We shall see, hope we are wrong.

Think they will make a good team tbh

We shall see.

Yeah, absolutely.

Think it was a decent move bringing Sharp in ( one of few) just in case it goes t!ts up for Agar.

Jon Sharp said many things that I've been thinking for the past couple of seasons. Bringing some aggression back into the team will help, if he can actually do that as well as he talks about it. Overall an encouraging performance from him.

WE SHALL WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU EAT HUMBLE PIE

THANK YOU I THOUGHT THE SAME SOUNDED VERY ENCOURAGING

I will, have done on a few occasions n the past.

He highlighted some problems that need changing what have been obvious to many for ages now. I think it's a good appointment by the club and i hope he keeps his word with the changes im mind.

Spot on. Sounds like we'll have more physical presence as well. He's picked up on the fact that there are few "talkers" in the squad too and sees Thorman filling this gap - take it there's no halfback in the pipeline for 2009 then.

I think Sharp will do a good job for the club. I'm prepared to give him a chance to do so at least.

Couldn't get the show over here, but sound like he made a decent fist of it.

I'm undecided about Sharp TBH. I liked him when he played for us, he has passion in abundance, and he did manage reasonably with Huddersfield given limited resources. OTOH Hudds played a frankly bloody awful brand of RL for much of his time there, and I'd hate to see us replicate that style.

Time will tell I guess.

He talked with real emotion about his signature being chased by Leeds and other clubs as a player but choosing us, and his return to the Boulevard for training this season. He did talk about being a very technical coach, so the challenge for the Agar/Sharp combo IMO is going to be a more "hearts and minds" thing as they are both very analytical and thorough in planning but don't come across as inspirational, despite the obvious emotional connection they feel to the club. If they can crack that, could be a very interesting season.

Not sure if you have the players to be agressive and dominate other teams forwards. Obviously Crocker can do this but not sure the rest can follow.

I was referring to Sharp saying the players had generally worked hard to put on 3-5 kilos in the 4 weeks training so far. Although I can manage something similar over Christmas so not that impressive.

I did not hear the interview but I do have to agree with Pupkin on this. I would love to see some aggression in our side but know we dont have it presently.
Im sure he would love some aggression in our pack like us all but he may be fighting Agar over potential signings as I know for a fact that one of Agars priorities when looking at players is the ability to coach them hassle free and unfortunately a lot of the time hassle sometimes comes with the harder, more agrressive natured players.

Fair point.

But before you all jump on me im glad to have both on board.

2 x experienced men.
2 x sets of game ideas.
2 x sets of training ideas.
2 x people to blame when it all goes pete tong !

Must have missed that bit but his comments were pretty positive. It is pretty difficult to put size on when your training to improve your fitness level, suprised they have done so well in such a short time.

I call Agar!

I have also heard on good authority that although Crocker played a lot of game time in the NRL sometimes playing the full 80 minutes Hull will not be doing this and will be using him a lot more sparingly throughout periods of the game.
I know this is nothing new in his position but if you have been watching him and have seen that he can keep his work rate up for this long and be outstanding for the full 80 it seems a shame we will probably not let him do this.
I suppose the club need to look after their investment dont they.
