Why would he leave New Zealand with two years to run on his deal to take a pay cut?

Beacuase when Rich lays out his vison for the future when he gets "his team, no injuries and a bit of luck" he wants to be part of it. I'd have thought that was obvious.

Then Agar should not play injured players. Use the young players.

Whilst I agree to a certain extent there's also another side to the argument. He's played jabbed up in arguably the most important games of our season the leeds league game which would have given us 6 place at the time and the CC quarter final. I think most players and coaches at this stage of the season would have taken that decision especially with the lack of leaders on the pitch ie. Fitz, Long for those important games.

I would take a guess that every team in Super League and every coach not just Richard Agar is playing players jabbed up towards the end of the season.

From time to time playing player who are injured is fine, for big games for instance.

Not one young player has made a debut this season for Hull FC, tells you everything you need to know.

Spot on Paul. I have heard people moaning about MO lately but its clear he is being played with an injury by a desperate man trying to save his job at any expense to the future.

Is it co-incidence that ogre and fitz started off 2010 like a house on fire only to be overplayed/played when injured and then saw their seasons fizzle out around the 15-20 game mark and exactly the same thing has happened this season?

Nope, most people knew it would happen.
