Washy and R Horne was tried last year it didn't work so why play the same combination again

Argar could have played Washy/Turner or Horne/Turner ..But Turner in my opinion should have had a starting place last Sunday

Yes it didnt work so why leave Washy out?

Because Washy for me is a loose forward

And I wouldn't drop Fitz

NOOOOOO!

And Horne isnt a 7 and on current form isnt a 6 either.....whats up...you scared to say drop Mr Hull FC??????

Hornes from warrants him being dropped but doubt Agar has a big enough pair to do it....if he does he will go up in peoples respect,if he doesnt its the same as the last 2 seasons.

Only choice tbh........leave Tansey at 1.

Yep - this is his first big test of the season to back up what he's been saying about people earning their places not being gifted them on reputation, but I think he'll fail.

I'd love to see Tansey kept at 1 but we have no other option than him at 7 atm. All other combinations tried and failed last season.

I agree Horne has been poor again so far this season and certainly doesn;t deserve his place in the starting team.

Nearly every-one see's that but will Agar

I guess this is when we find out how mentally tough he is. If he persists in playing Horne and going with tried and failed halfback pairings we will know the answer.

6 Turner
7 Tansey

Tansey is the only one who can do out with ball in hand, so let him get the ball as much as possible. If we are to play a running stand off then lets have someone there with pace, ie. Turner.

Whiting to FB

Turner at centre

Tansey to scrum half

The worrying thing about this defeat for me is Agar’s apparent lack of creativity once Long is out of the side.

Take any starting scrum half out of any RL side and they will struggle, but the fact is, we have had more practise with this scenario than any other side over recent seasons, yet we still get it wrong.

Agar had said over the close season that he now had more options and choices should Long get injured. The first time he gets an opportunity to utilise some of these so called options, he chooses Washy & Horne, a combination that has failed to deliver on several occasions.

I desperately want Agar to succeed as Hull coach, but he failed his first real coaching test of the season miserably imo.
