Not quite sure what all this is about Tony Smith, even Agar managed to get us into the final in his first year!!

think we need to put an end to this thread seeing as the only player to come to hull now is jordan turner and the only thing to rumour about is players leaving which has its own thread

problem is to stop this thread is the same as stopping an addiction

dont think our cheque book is as big as warringtons

The thing with Tony Smith is he stepped in at Warrington when things were going wrong. He has transformed the team from a team with no confidence to a group of players who believe thay can win every game. There is no mistaking Tony Smith is a fine coach in my eyes. Yes he has taken them to a final, they can go on and win that final then enter the playoffs and who knows what will happen. It could be a clean sweep from the Wire and I know why.

thats what peter sharp did for us and look what happened there!!

In all fairness Peter Sharp and Tony Smith are in different leagues. If you could choose a coach for next season or the season after would you choose Agar, Smith or Noble. I would go for Smith everytime.

wont argue with that but personally think our problems started when sharp got the bullet way to early!!

For a start off Wire have two very good half backs, something we have been lacking for some time.

Wire have been the biggest underachievers with all the money they have spent over the years and as far as I am aware are struggling to secure a play off spot at the moment.

I am not doubting that he has obviously done something for their confidence but in all honesty most of those players will be playing there next year and most of ours won't, he is working to the future where as whether you like it or not we are working to the end of the season prior to getting rid and hopefully turning our season round with newcomers.

I think Alex Ferguson would struggle with what we have at the moment!

True, but I think our problems started when Kear was sacked. Again way to early, Then Sharp and now we have Agar. I just want the best for Hull and I believe that Smith is that man. Smith in, Agar dropped to assistant and then happy days.

heres one for you! didnt nathan brown only sign a year contract with the giants?????

Lets put this into perspective!!

We have a squad of 12 internationals!!

The likes of Brown,McDermott,Kear and Matterson would give their right arm to have 12 internationals in their squad.

We have a squad of players, who in my view, are not been coached properly, have no tactics,no gameplan, no set moves, no quick play the ball, slow passing etc etc.

Look at Huddersfield at the moment, thats what you get from a proven Manager.

Huddersfield are playing like a typical NRL side, due to their coach's mentality.

We are playing like a typical Championship One side.!!

We need a proven NRL manager now!! - not 8 games into next season,

The only bloke out there, who is available is Steven Folkes.

Is this true?

Bum.

Why would he come to Hull when he is tearing up tress with Huddersfield anyway?

To prove he can do it again with even worse no-hopers?

Imagine how good Shuddersfield could have been with a decent SH.

Yup.

If he cannot do it at Wigan with the players at his disposal, how will he do it with your sacks of $hit

Longy, Luaikai, Berrigan, Fitz,Turner(?), Tansey, Hall, Yeamo, Calders etc

You do realise that we're not talking about this season, don't you?

No better than what he has at Wigan.

At least 4 of those are better than what he has at Wigan.

Really, who?

Longy, Berro, Fitz, Calders
