Fair play to Wakefield they played really well against us yesterday and picked us off.



I fancy them to beat Hull KR

Glad to see Agar doing well. I think the Hull job was just too big for him at the time (not to mention the rumoured interference from certain board members) and now that he's gone somewhere with no real expectation and more freedom to do his thing we are seeing he's not so bad afterall.

Don't kid yourself. We had a couple of matchwinning runs during his tenure and won feckall, got smashed in the playoffs too.

Give the guy a break, he did a decent job for you but fell short of fans expectations for whatever reasons and maybe/maybe not to do directly with him.



Coaches can improve with time and effort as can players.



So far he can only be judged on what is happening. 3 games to play, strong challengers for a playoff spot. Team playing entertaining rugby and blooding academy players. All this with a team running a few hundred k under max cap and 20+ new players.



The aspirations of hull and wakefield differ at present. Reaching the playoffs would be a big achievement for Agars team win or lose.



You should draw a line under the Agar thing now though. Has been a year nearly now.

I think Agar did a good job for us for 6 months 2010 when we were 4th all season, but then we bottled it at home to Leeds on Sky and then were shocking against Hull KR in the play-offs. His season and a half were terrible, and we were really poor last season too.

Although many Wakefield fans were sceptical and disapproving of his appointment as coach, myself included, perhaps his performance at Hull says more about your club than it does about Agar.

Without doubt, the guy has earned the respect of most Wakefield fans and regardless of what happens in the next 3 games, he deserves immense credit for his first season in charge, which has far exceeded expectations and considering the squad turnover (17 players IIRC) our season has been tremendous. The current run of wins against the 4 clubs we have beaten is dreamland stuff, as a Wakefield fan ,you would have struggled to pick 4 teams who you would have prefered to take points off (perhaps Wigan to add a cherry on top of the icing)



Come on Trin !

Washy has played 13 in pretty much every single game and he's been fantasic. Solid, runs good lines, distributes ok and a decent tackler; got on scoreboard a fair bit too.

you're probably right, there were a lot of things wrong at hull during his tenure that were outside his control, thankfully now sorted out. his move to wakey is probably a good result for all parties

Understatement of the year?

I think its time for we Hull fans to consign Mr. Agar to history. We've all had our moans and groans about him (some of which were probably due as much to the gang he was working for) and he's no longer our problem. He seems to be doing a good job at Wakey and good luck to him and them. I believe its time for everyone to move on.

Indeed, the way some Hull fans have been going on about him this season, you'd think that he had intentionally set out to lead the club to ruin. Like you say, he's our "problem" now, so no need to carry on the Agar hating.

To be fair to the Hull fans, he didn't do them any favours when they came to visit his new home did he?

Nice one!!

That was one defeat for which they could definitively blame Agar, without fear of contradiction.

Bump!

Who says lightening doesn't strike twice!!!

It is Bradford's place to lose. Our destiny is in our hands.

I think we'll just sneak it on the last weekend. I know, like us your playing well, but to win in Catalans will be a big ask.

So when does this playoff charge start then?

Funny that, we all thought your destiny was in the RFL's hands

Awesome support from Wakefield. Probably the best support we've had from any away fans for well over two years.

Approx 5 weeks ago, do keep up.

Good to hear. Cheers Easty.

We need Catalans to have something to play in round 27. If they are secure in 4th or even 5th, they may do a Warrington and rest a few for the play offs.

Hopefully they will need to win that game.
