Shhh, you're not allowed to doubt Agar as a coach, I can hear the natives rushing for their pitchforks!

Only for CC games mainly.

Hang on a minute - we made the final but lost (and he didn't play).
Proof if it were needed how important the organisation aspect is to any team.

I'm not criticising the releasing of Dykes - simply stating the importance of a player like him who tells others what they should be doing and where they should be doing it - see previous posts.

I think most of the sensible posters on here realise Agar has a lot to learn as a Head coach but are prepared to give him a season to see how he develops. By the end of next season we will all have a clearer idea of just what sort of coach he is. I was one of those underwhelmed when he was given the length of contract he got but I'm prepared to give him a full season to see how he goes.

Very sensible.

Anyone else sick of this situation on here where you either have surgically attached black and white glasses/blinkers or else you are the biggest anti FC moaning git of all time ?

Schoolboy stuff.

Problem is, if he turns out to be gash, he has a long contract. He's a nice guy, in fact too nice.

Just about every poster that has been around for a few years is in that situation Staffs, things have been a lot worse and a lot better for FC in the past.

Does he have another two years left to run, or was it longer?

[url=http://www.hullfc.com/hullfc/contents/?p=1318He signed a 2.5 year contract[/url

For some reason I thought it was three and a half?

Well I would hope he will get at least this full season and if the recruitment for next season is what we want then he should be given next season as well and so at least see out his contract. I'm not a fan of sacking coaches before they have had a chance to establish themselves anyway.

That's what I thought. Cheers Standee.

Totally agree. Its actually possible to be in both camps at the same time depending on which threads you are commenting on as well

yup

But that doesn't stop [isome[/i people from simply seeing who the poster is and deciding they don't agree, regardless of the contents of the post.

Yup.

Trying to express a balanced POV on here normally attracts flak from both camps as well.

Also, if things work out and he stays on, he will provide stability in the halves which we have also not had since PC. If his deal is extended based upon performances, then it is likely that he might end his career at Hull. In some respects, stability is more important than absolute talent. I would rather know that the club had a solid halfback pairing (if this particular pairing were to provide that) for four years to build around, than think that we might sign an Australian star next season who would gives us maybe two seasons. Its just too disruptive to the shape of the team, with all players having to re-adapt to a different style of playmaker every other season.

Has Thorman ever organised a side well ? Since his days at London.

Don't be fooled by some moronic Hudds fans, Thorman is a very good player and will do well for Hull.

He is way to much like Horne for me and will only bring a good kicking game.

Why did he get moved to FB ? Lack of organising ?

They had Kevin Brown to do a better job.

Don't know about everyone else but when you get replaced for Kevin Brown, alarm bells are ringing.

Exactly.

guess you dont know him then?

good post mate

Did i say it will be his choice, personally i think Paul Cullen would be the man for the job, but i wish Albo all the best i hope he proves me wrong
