Agar eager for Trinity to build on win at Hull

Many people have been lauding Kevin Brown, the ex-England stand-off, during Widnes’s impressive campaign, and the ex-Huddersfield captain was certainly influential as they secured a dramatic win at Hull KR on Sunday.

Tenth last term, they are currently joint-fourth with champions Wigan Warriors after picking up seven victories so far.

Agar, whose Wakefield side hope to continue a revival of their own after ending a six-game losing run at Hull last weekend, said: “They’ve been patient and stuck with (coach) Denis (Betts) through some tough times.

“They’ve put a terrific team around him and the recruitment of Kevin Brown was vitally important. Some people might think they’re a one-man team but I’d say totally different.

“Brown is obviously pivotal to what they do – he puts on the plays – but he’s a player who helps everyone else around him too and gives them confidence.

“It was a very smart signing and the likes of Alex Gerrard, Macgraff Leuluai and Ben Kavanagh have all benefited.

“They have been a real success story of this season.”
