One of the excuses for this dismal season was that Agar hasn't had 'his own squad', and that is being rectified with the new signings. So, if you sack Agar, any new coach could then argue that they haven't got their own squad.

Like Rule has any say in it

I thought you said you were getting Justin

I thought the title of this was an invitation for Mr Rule to Join Hull Truck!!!!

After a defeat, I used to be absolutely gutted for days. However now, I go to every game expecting us to get beat, so when we do, I arent really that bothered. I will renew my pass next year, but if next season is even slightly as bad as this one, then I won't be renewing next year. Our coaching staff are completely useless, and until we get rid, NOTHING will change. Sign all the players you like, but with this set of clowns in charge, we are never going to be back we were belong (top 4). It's about time we started to voice our opinions, starting friday!

The dropping of Calderwood was bad enough, but that one decision had me livid last night. I cannot for life of me see the reasoning behind it!

What would I have done one year ago,I know I'll rest Calders for the cup final

Good post, the only bone of contention i have is that i'm getting past the stage where i give a f**k cos i expect us to play dross and get beat.

Being good on the international scene in RL hardly makes you a great coach. Any living Aussie could have taken control of the Aussie team over the last 30 years and still beat us.

I still find it quite funny to think that people believe that James Rule makes decisions like hiring and firing of coaches









This glove puppet may have a "VOICE" but some else has there hand stuck up working the vital bits

KAF

ATEOD people were calling for Agar to be given a shot at the time, I was one of them and am big enought o admit I was wrong with that one. It happens to us all.

Now its being proved wrong everyone start on the board, I must be one of a few but I don't think we really have a board thats all that bad. I mean how many off the field records have we broke with them in charge ?

me too

good post you are right

I never wanted Agar to get the job but I was happy to be proven wrong. He's had 1 and 1/2 seasons now to do that and all he's done is show me he's worse than I ever imagined.

There's nothing for me to be smug about though because he's running the club I love into the ground, and the board insist he's getting several more months to keep doing so.

To go back to Mrs B's original post.
She has it spot on.
Especially the question of why so many injuries for the umpteeth season. Is it something to do with the training regime?
Also a change of captain wouldn't go amiss.
I have never been a fan of Radford, as a player or his low-profile approach to captaincy.

He does get some say though Ian I heard he asked if she would cut her finger nails!!!

Whats that for?

I've been told he's "a class apart" at Fax, "head and shoulders above the rest of the team"

Kearny

FFS no. It's amazing how many people don't grasp that being a great player doesn't automatically make you a great coach. We need someone with experience.

Ray French and DDD have lots of experience (of 1950's rugby) does that make them good coaches?

We need someone who has played SL (or coached) and someone who know what it takes to be a success

This is true. However I think Kearney would have the respect of everyone in the game and more importantly he would demand and attitude sadly missing from the KC for a while now.

Was speaking to Swainy on facebook a few weeks back and he himself said he wasn't sure whether Kearney or himself would be the answer

Always thought Swain had no real interest in RL once his playing days were over anyway?

Does this suggest the problems we have cannot be fixed with a straight coach change then? Didnt you also mention a dossier that Kearney put together for Hull about what needs to happen back in 2005?

Yes about who the clubs needs to rid themselves of, and the direction they need to go in

If I was Rule I would be asking a few ex players for feedback on the club setup ie playing and coaching side. I am sure people like Swain, Kearney, Domic and McMenemy would all be able to provide information which may help identify areas of concern. From the playing side of things through to coaching, conditioning, physio etc.

As CEO I would want to know why the most important side of the business was continually under performing. The feedback may be very interesting!
