I notice there's no mention of Agar in his pre joining speech.



Could there be something significant in that.




Everyone else who's signed in the past 2 years has mentioned Agar's vision.

Good player at a good age, hopefully he can push the other four props for a place and have great competion in the front row.

cant wait to hear peoples views on this signingicon_lol.gif he will be saughtered before he has even got here

The lad derserves a chance. Presumably the club have done some thorough checks on his fitness.

Interesting no quotes about or from Agar.

Thought that myself when I first read it, covering all eventuality's I reckon.

Anyway more to the point, he's injury prone, wrong side of 20, he's Irish, he's stopping the development of our own youngsters (granted our last forward we developed of any note was kingy).

Would rather have just promoted Bowden, but he'll get my support when he pulls on the shirt.
Welcome to Hull FC.

He might spend a year on dual reg?

When dd he last play???

Against Wire at the weekend. Good addition, young and enthusiastic. Welcome to the greatest club in the rugby league Eamon.

he didn`t play against Wire, he played against Bradford the week before Wembley, he hasn`t been picked for the final 17 since.

3 year deal seems absolute madness for someone who's been injured for 18months. I hope we have a get out clause in there if things don't work out.

agree completly, could end up being another warren jowwitt

He's the wrong side of 20????

He's 24.....could be playing for us for the next 10 years.

At a time when good young British players (esp forwards) are at a premium, this could turn out to be a cracking signing.

He was very good before his injury and anyone who thinks he'll be keeping our young forwards from making the step up next year are wrong. If they are good enough, they'll come through.

VERY telling that there is no quote from Agar in the article. He's gone

very much doubt that

Started a thread on the Wigan board, most seem uphappy that he is leaving.

I remember when we signed Jamie Thackray in 2005, who was injuted loads before we signed him and people on here where going mad about his signing went on to play over 30 games, have an outstabding year and help us win the cup.

I'd still expect us to promote Bowden giving us 6 props in the first team squad is lynch signs.

Direct replacement for Dowes IMO.

Good post, can anyone name a better yougn prop OOC that we could have signed?

Hope you right at the end.

Aye.

Welcome Eamon, goodbye and thanks Ewan.

id be worried if we was releasing o'carroll and sigining gareth thomas aswell

As a Wigan supporter I am sad to see him go. Hes a 100%er but perhaps not in our top 4 props. With Coley leaving I assume we will be recruiting (maybe that lump from Hull). O'Carroll is a good addition for Hull but maybe a 3 year deal for a player who has not really played in 18 months is a risk. Good luck Freddie. Top bloke too!

And lauaki?

I've reneged on my original scepticism on this signing. I assume he's not on big bucks (maybe even a contract akin to Dowes') so it could well be a shrewd bit of business.

Did he debut under Brian Noble? with talk of Lynch coming too could these be Noble signings?

I also think the lack of comment from O'Carrol on Agar seems odd.

Not impressed at all I would have liked to see him have a consistent season in SL before we went in and offered him 3 yrs!.......

Hope I am proved wrong though

It seemed a bit worrying when it was reported he was only 24,but he has the right credentials out with injuries for 18 months,so he should slot in fine.!

I'm sure we have things in place within the contract to safeguard our investment in him.
