Justin Morgan for me to replace Agar.

He has just applied to be a member at Hull GOlf Club, why would he do this if he wasn't staying in Hull?

He's lived in Hull for years and is applying now? Nice one.

Very happy, means a renewal of at least 6 passes for us, I would like to say thanks to agar for the effort but it hasn't worked out for whatever reason, I said from the start Daniel Anderson would be my first choice, but would be very happy with Gentle.

McCrae kept that quiet didn't he on Saturday night, this was kept extremely tight. Eddie was questioning SM about this future so thay had no inkling. There's normally a leak somewhere. Says much about Pearsons network.

But.... His health is obviously not good, Hull are a massive club compared to Salford, he may think he's coming 'home' in some respects but it does seem slightly odd to me.

I've wanted Agar out for years so chuffed to bits but the timing does seem slightly harmful, things must have top come to a head, either within the club or with an external party.

The fact that Agar didnt come over on Saturday to clap the fans (again) after his interview speaks volumes. A massive following, he should at least make a token gesture, he has never felt secure in his relationship with the fans and that cant be good for anyone. Also the way this story has come out on the web, the big news is McCrae coming in and then tucked away within this article is the fact that our head coach is leaving, is bizarre. Maybe a slight lack of respect there, he at least deserved his own story!

Have you ever thought about the recent news, of mcCrae's health on BBC etc and the media, may have been a smoke screen to take the scent off the move to Hull F.C?

I reckon it was, he may have health issues, but they may not be as bad as he said to get away from the Salford City Reds, if they was problems with the board at Salford, he may have used his health as an excuse also, and keeping his pride, and also respect intact.

Great day for Hull F.C!!!

Can't believe we are looking to appoint Gentle, only assistant coach to one of the best teams in the NRL and Australia who has worked along side one of the best coaches in the world.

Look at badly Wigan have done since they appointed an NRL assistant.

Gald Agar has gone, tried his best and put 100% into his job, but it just wasn't good enough, good luck at Wakey.

Well done Adam Pearson, a man who looks like his has the ambition of the fans.

Why announce it today I wonder? Three days before the final match of the regular season.

Also its the Player of the Year awards tonight. Will McRae be there? Will Agar?

If he has done what you're suggesting, which he hasn't, he'd lose all (or most I would imagine) respect people had for him. And rightly so, I doubt very much he has lied about such a serious illness. You should think before you type.

Possibly, would be very happy with gentle and when it looked like he was of to Rovers I was a bit gutted, but this does seem a bit odd because it would seem the recruitment for a new coach started as soon as AP took over, even though he stated nothing would be decided until he had completed a root to branch review of the club.
