Is that rhyming slang?

Can you give it until about half an hour in at this year's forum before you ask your 2 minutes of fame questions ? I'll be in the kitchen putting kettle on around then - no radio in there.

Why should either of you stand up and say something you don't believe?

It's such a mature suggestion my 6 year old could have come up with it

Can I just clear some-thing up...We have a dishwasher

'Clear something up'

I like what you did there!!

It's better than saying something stupid like 'anything to see you £100 lighter'

we still have one of each ! saddos or what ?

McGuire, Smith and Brown fair enough.

Potter - did nothing at Saints, Morgan - what has he ever won in the top level?, McRae - Had a superb squad at Hull and could not deliver success.

Mcguire - definately

Morgan - definately

Smith - definately

Brown - definately

McRae - definately

Potter - definately


It would be a lot easier and quicker to list the SL coaches that WOULDN'T do a better job !

you don't fancy moving down to france by any chance ?

I think the problem with certain threads is not the fact that people are happy with the improvement Hull showed last season, (I wouldnt use the word success), if not happy with the overall picture, but the constant insinuation that 2010 was an abject failure by some which is totally unreasonable IMO.

Your breaking down of into tiers is probably fair but I would class consistant challengers as the top tier and not just trophy winning. Saints havent won a trophy since beating us at Wembley in 2008 but I would not class them as failures. Just as I think the Giants will be pleased with their progress despite remaining trophy less because they are now in the mix and genuine contenders for the major prizes.

If you want to amend my 5 tier model into a 6 tier model thats ok. Tier 5 is consistently challenging. Tier 6 has to be winning silverware then. Consistently challenging and winning nothing cannot be the ultimate level imo.

Potter - No
Matterson - Definately Not
Robinson - Going to say No
Powell - No
Brown - Not entirely sure, can take him or leave him
Morgan - No, don't think he can offer us anything
McDermott - No
McRae - Didn't do it before, won't do it again. No
Simmons - Not seen enough of him to pass judgement
Kear - No
Smith - Obvious answer would be Yes but not seen him work with a squad that isn't really the best in the league
McGuire - See Smith, obviously a great coach but so you should be with that squad of players
Harris - No

Just my opinion..!

Thats a fair point. The top level would have to be a limited club out of the reach of 12 of the 14 clubs any one year.

The squad he had last season was hardly amazing, he just got them playing very well. You're doing him an huge disservice there.

And the dishwasher is called Berrigans Bitch

That was good

Also Nathan Brown took Huddersfield from 10th in 2008
to 3rd in 2009,with the following signings, these signings are hardly the calibre of Long,Fitzgibbon,and O'Meley.

Brett Hodgson Wests Tigers August 2008
Scott Moore Castleford Tigers August 2008
Simon Finnigan Bradford Bulls September 2008
Josh Griffin Wakefield Trinity Wildcats October 2008
Michael Korkidas Castleford Tigers November 2008
Greg McNally Whitehaven RLFC November 2008
Larne Patrick Free agent December 2008
Shaun Lunt Workington Town December 2008
Joe Walsh Harlequins RL November 2008
Keale Carlile Bradford Bulls December 2008

So, in your opinion, we have the 3rd best coach in Super League?

If we finished top 4 and battered a few teams along the way, I would be ecstatic after the dross we have seen over the last years. If we don't get to old trafford so be it.
Tier 2 as you put it is where we are, and as the Brother has said, it is not good enough by a long long way.

We were at old trafford and where are we now?
Why are we where we are now?

I cannot believe that people slag of negativity when they are people that want the club to succeed. If we don't and end up at Costello, I will still be there. I bet you Jake and the Brother would still be there as well. Fact is, we have a hell of a lot of issues as a club. It needs sorting. Agar for me, is on the last season unless we get to Tier 2. And we ain't gonna.

I'd argue that Brett Hodgson was one of Huddersfield's best signings for a very long time.

He also took them back down to 5th after shelling out record money for Brough and also having arguably the best combination of half back in the superleague.....

They finished 6th, 4th and 6th in the previous 3 season, reaching the semi final on all three occasions.... Like i said, he's a great coach to acheive the walking of the league competition but they've been borderline winning a grand final for years!!

Not at all.. I'm just saying that i wouldn't swap Agar for those coaches at this given time. I'm still hoping Agar can win his doubters over and prove people wrong and i'm happy to support him in his challenge. If it doesn't work out at the end of his contract then i'll hope for a great replacement.

Contrary to what people believe, a new coach doesn't ALWAYS bring success, it can destabilise a team!!

As i have said, bad management of the past is something we are working to fix over time. Look at Liverpool, No coach in the world can sort that mess out. They need to hit rock bottom before they can be a success!!

We are on the way back up from our rock bottom!!
