Seems like the most likley combo.

Yes

Well done hull



Great to see a british coach get his shot

im right though,if certain people need to be on suicide watch cos of riches appointment then they wont want to give him the backing will they,the last words sharp said to agar before he left was good luck rich hope you get the job you deserve it,he never thought of going elsewere other then staying at hull,hes a highly regarded coach in the game hence the job offers he has been offered,also the guy has turned down the chance of a lifetime job workingg with tony smith and the gb accademy,was gunna be going to aussie,that proves to me were his heart lies,good luck to the bloke im sure he will do the bussiness for us and get us back to were we belong.

good luck rich, you'll have my full backing, onwards & upwards!!

murray as DOR anyone??

at least stevo will be happy now!

top post wolfie. and on that note good luck rich......

i am too pleased a british coach back at hull
Murray will end up at wire

Murray?

I doubt it. But who knows.

Not sure if this was the right way to go, it doesn't seem to screem out ambition. I always thought Sharp wouldn't do such a good job as his experience of being head coach was not exactly inspiring, I thought the signing of either Murray or Folkes would have been a very good appointment. But hey, Agar deserves your backing as he has done a good job for you guys.

who knows,if he does who will take charge of the young kids?

Andy Last would be great as assistent..

I would imagine some promotion within the club, Last to assistant, with maybe Mcnicolas taking over the under 21's and someone appointted to help run the 18's.

No wonder the game is full of Aussie coaches when a decent young coach is being written off after 1 game (a game when we showed big improvements) What is our obsession with it having to be an Aussie coach? He has served his time as a number 2 give him a chance to prove he has what it takes, now is the time to try out an untested coach he has this season and the whole of next season to show he is the right man for the job. There is not the worry of relegation, so it is the perfect opportunity to try him.
What strikes me as odd is that a lot of these writing Agar off already were more than willing to accept Mcnamara as coach when we went for him, a coach who was also untested.

I have mixed feelings.

On the negative side I do worry about the length of time he has been at the club and his closeness with the players. We needed a totally fresh approach and some backsides needed kicking and I not sure RA can go that after being no.2 for so long. Also I think a new proven Aussie would have been able to tell the board what he would and would not accept whereas with RA I feel that the club will have complete control over him.

On the positive side he is young, talented and British and its good to see people like that getting a chance. He will now have the chance to implement his own style of rugby league too and his philosophy will hopefully be a more attack minded one. He seems like a really great guy and certainly understand the fans and the club too.

Only time will tell if its a good decision but I feel the negatives outweigh the positives just now although I will be delighted if he can prove to be a success.

Last isnt ready yet.

If he gets it my skint ass will not be getting a season pass

I would imagine Lasty will get the nod as the no.2 and I would be happy with that.

Was hoping for Steve Folkes originally, but looking on the positives Agar will give us some stability and has worked with all the players, so hopefully will now be able to stamp his mark on the team.

Good luck Mr Agar!

WHO IS WRITING HIM OFF?

Great to see a British coach been given a chance.

To be honest you wont be missed, you have already written off the coach and his aasistant before they have started the job.

Give them both a chance FFS.

Just a thought, how about Lasty stayin with the 21's and Radders hanging his boots up and becoming assistant to Agar, i can see him becoming assistant at some point anyways so why not give him the option now.

FFS, Why not just ring Rommel and invite them to troll!

oh no we need Radders on the pitch

Who cares where he is from.

The fact is who can ever remember a assistant coming into a head coach role in the situation we are in and turning it around ?
