Seems a nice guy.

So your saying you hope we have a crap start and lose so Agar goes????

Whilst I agree with your sentiment, it's another season and another year of everyone's life piissed away so I think we'd all rather agar actually proved he could coach (which he can't, so he won't).

Didn't the club state at the last forum that finding some half back cover was the number one priority this off season? Seems strange that we've signed a winger and a back rower if that was the case

As someone said recently, brian noble signed 3 half backs for crusaders last year when operating on a shoestring that would all have done better than what we had last year

A little short term pain for a long term gain is how id put it. Or would you prefer a repeat of last season with no real progression and then have Agar in charge the season after too?

I have an increasing suspicion that is exactly the scenario that awaits us in 2011/12. Agar seems bulletproof. Whatever my own personal misgivings about his occupancy as our head coach, I'm increasingly resigned to him seeing out his contract and possibly even beyond

Well said . Other sides do it why can`t we? Hull FC seem to be adverse to signing quality in the halfback role.
Trying to throw cash around with a few weeks until the season starts is a joke. Crusaders are right to hold us to ransom. Hull have cash but it`s the worst kept secret in SL that we need a quality No7.
Berrigan should not have been released until a quality halfback was secured.
We can only pray that Long stays fit. Hornes fitness is a major concern . Both seem unable to string a sequence of games together.

I arent a Agar fan at all and the sooner the inept buffoon goes the better but i dont want us to lose.

You need to look up the definition of progression.

I think agar is one of the least at risk coaches in SL. If season pass sales had dropped significantly then the situation might have been different. As it is, unless we do disastrously, then he'll still be here in 12 months time

Why should he be at risk ? in the last three seasons we've progressively got more points and last year should have got 4th with no halfbacks for most of the season, he's building a decent young squad and signed some quality overseas players, he seems to be disliked by most people on this board, but imo has done a half decent job, if you put him up against say Mcnamara and what they've managed to achieve over the last few years, then he puts the current GB coach to shame, alot of people might not like his style of play, but he seems to have us on the right track if you judge seasons by performances and points.

You see it how you want. I see one of the biggest clubs in the game who are a million miles away from being genuine contenders, who bottled ever big game they played in last season and who win games by boring the other team into submission. I also saw a team who were spanked twice by wigan, lost 3 times to leeds, couldn't even beat warrington a week before wembley and who bent over and let themselves get bummed by rovers in the play offs.

I don't even think we're in the same country as the right track

The club knew last season Berrigan was going and if they didnt then Plummer is still doing our accounts!

We have had more time than people think to get the sort of player we want yet for some reason havent been able to.

Sammut has just scored a hat trick. And converted.

In the word of Jim Bowen "Here's what you could have won".

ive not been to critical of the board and agar,but it has to be said hull have been poor in there attempts to sign half back cover,other clubs dont seem to have much of a problem.

of all the halfbacks that have been signed by others this off season,how many of them would fans have been happy with if they had come to fc? probably only finch to me.

i agree,and the thing is we've had months to sort this out! i hope we pull something out of the bag,but i'm beginning to really doubt it-time will tell i suppose....

I would have been happy with any of the 3 halves other clubs have signed for next season. Finch is proven quality while Herbert and Dureau are both young guys who have come over here with a point to prove.

He's putting on a show in his farewell appearance

When was the last time an FC half back scored a hat trick?

Agar certainly can't use the no half backs excuse next season!.

If he does I won't know whether to laugh or cry.

Announcement tomorrow, we've signed Sammut and phelps! Thats the rumour

2 quota non fed players? when we have 1 fed spot? we are HKR and I claim my £5.

maybe someones going the other way! dont ask who, i don't know, its just what someone said, apparently from a good source! but we've heard that before

Right!!! HAha.



Who replacing phelps on the dole then..
