Agar expects more from Hull side

Rugged Australian veteran Craig Fitzgibbon got the ball rolling for the Black and Whites and more tries followed from Kirk Yeaman, Craig Hall, Danny Tickle and Richard Horne, but Agar felt they could have added even more tries had referee Steve Ganson clamped down on the time the Harlequins players took to get up from the tackle.

"I thought we did a professional job," Agar said. "We didn't let our frustrations get the better of us and the players kept their minds on the job, although I don't think the 13,000 watching and me included did.

"I'm frustrated by the ruck. Look at round one to round four. It's bemusing. The game was allowed to flow, but that's because there were no penalties. I've gone in the changing rooms and the players are acting like they have lost because they are so frustrated. It's ridiculous.

"Everybody is getting to grips with things at this stage in the year, adapting to conditions and styles and that is part of the challenge."
