Oh dear, I can already see the latest excuse whirring away in Jimmy Rule's mind:

'Rich should not be blamed for our recent run of defeats over the Easter Period as he was unfortunately serving a touchline ban, and therefore could not influence the team in the way he would have liked'.

Agar haters


Now I am sorry Tommy but that is way out of line, I doubt very much any-one on here hates Rich Agar, what is there to hate?...Just because people believe he is not up to the job this does not mean we hate the man





Late edit, Ok Tommy it is fine to say Agar Hater because Gary has it in his sig

Quite correct I have no hatred towards Agar, I have a large gutful of disappointment but i feel no hatred towards him.

It's no different to when Tommy gets called an apologist I suppose. I certainly hate the fact that Agar is Head Coach of Hull FC, but I don't hate the man himself. In fact once he leaves he'll never enter my head again, once I'm done celebrating his departure that is

Your signature says different

touche

I'm struggling a bit here but how many thought Child had a crap game in August 2010, when 12 of our 18 points (against Crusaders), came from penalties awarded?

Brian Noble certainly did.

I wonder if Kath bought him a drink after that match

People keep saying that we didnt complain when we got the penalty in the last minute - but if you watch the footage, Reece does get taken out after the kick he puts in, so penalty was the right decision.

FWIW - Child's performance on Friday was criticised by both coaches. On Friday he sin-binned Radford, yet didnt sin bin Isa and Ferres for the same offences, (Isa's you could see clearly on the SL show highlights)

You could argue that in the Crusaders game he was consistent, on Friday he certainly was not. To also have the players responding in such a manner as they did is very surprising and highlights what they thought of him too

You could also argue that Ganson sin binned the Crusaders player Mellars on saturday for a grapple tackle yet never sin binned others later in the game.

Did he pull a moonie in the corridor?

Was Alfie there?

The Moonies!! Maybe Agar was asking Child if he was in a cult?

Gawd that was close

Well edited Ian

Although I know he doesn't use Daz or Persil

Your edit did the job for me



And I don't recall ever been called an apologist. I don't really get it

Yes, I realised it was a tad too ...................... obvious

Good to see Cullen highlight the obvious inconsistences for the RFL to look at in Boots and all tonight. (he does seem to have a few good things to say about us recently ,hope he's not lining himself up for a job) but fair play to him on the analysis.

He's wearing a black and white tie too so he must be.

Just seen it Cullen clearly thinks that Child was a joke as well. It's the first time I have seen Long get smashed on the line it looked worse than it did on the night. Child and the touch judge who was involved in both incidents (Lauaki and Long) are a disgrace.

Should our physio have spotted Long been concussed and removed him before he did that?

I don't think he was that concussed, mate

If you watch Longy straight afterwards, he stumbles away from the action and then charges in at the next tackle. Not excusing him it was something I actually saw and mentioned at the time.

He managed to walk away in a straight line and didn't look concussed after getting the red.
