| Quote phil webbo="phil webbo"I understand what your saying about the fans to a degree, and not being there at the press confrence i'm hardly in a position to comment on the context of the quotes.
It seems a bit knee jerk this reported culling, it makes me wonder if its fan pressure thats brought it about, considering its taken this long, if it is fan pressure this would raise a few flags with me.
The other issue is a straight forward coaching issue, full time SL players should IMO not need to go back to basics.
One other thing he said what was very strange, at the start of the season, when asked about the partnership between Thorman and Horne, he said somthing along the lines of "they are coming up with that many new moves I can't keep up"'"
The culling aint knee jerk it is long overdue IMO!
The Thorman signing has been bad from the start. He simply isnt up to the job of organising Hull FC. Bad call. However the Horne situation is more delicate with his illness and stuff.
Like i said Agar has a hell of a lot to prove to us all as a Super League coach and his only saving grace at the mo is his quality recruitment. By signing experienced players alongside some quality young players suggests that there is a plan. You may disagree but I hope there is!

I hope there is to be fair.
But like someone once said, its alright having all the ingredients for a cake its another thing baking it, you only have to loke at Cullens recruitment at Warrington world class players and they were at the bottom, I really think you need to bring in a proven coach, and I don't mean Sharpe, you only have to look at hudds since he left.

At the end of the day we have been to 2 challenge cup finals and 1 grand final in the last four years. As a fan that is awesome. Going to the major finals as a fan of the team playing is second to none, unbelelievable!
maybe some players thought they had made it by doing this and slacked. Who knows.
I guess your point is Agar is the problem? We will see very soon cos although he is in charge next season I am sure plans are in place if he doesnt turn things around.

That was my point, I however think you deserve better, I don't believe your most recent sucesses have been down to Agar, it seens the more it became 'his team' the more your onfield problems worsened, I don't think that with the right coach in place it would take very long to sort out, look how quick Smith turned Wolves around.

As I said from the start Agar has it all to prove to me and many others. I guess the proof of the pudding is next year when he (hopefully) has a fully fit squad including players like Fitzgibbon, O'Meley, Long and Berrigan. Surely if he is that poor these players will have a say.
We will see!

I hope your right, as I can't see O'Meley and Fitz putting up with rubbish.

| Quote knocker norton="knocker norton"Its tough been a pro player and sometimes you need to take responsibility for your actions because it is scrutonised by everyone. Craig hall will be a better player and person for all the tough times I reckon.'" And yet by all accounts only Hall had to do this until Thormnan gave Agar no choice what so ever.
But hey ho Hall has no reason to be upset I guess even though he was the obvious scapegoat, Just 1 question would you say Hall is a Fullback seeing as it seemed to be his mistakes in that position that made Agar single him out and send him out in the first place?

A transfer fee (or player exchange) would compensate for that

What would be the benefit to FC in a player excange? (cash wont happen)
I was saying on our board yesterday (and this is no way reflective of rovers current squad) but why would we swap a young kid that could be a future england international with 10 years playing in front of him for 1 or 2 seasons of an arguably better player?
