Agar: It's a vital time

HULL FC today set off for Portugal with coach Richard Agar proclaiming their warm-weather training camp will be their most important week of the season.

Hull have flown to Brown's hotel complex in Portugal's Algarve for a week of intensive training.

And with FC's first friendly encounter against Leeds just eight days away - and a Super League opener against Wigan in only four weeks time - the team's preparations are about to be dramatically stepped up.

Agar says he is eager to put his men through their paces in what he believes will be their key week in their pre-season preparations.

"It's a very, very important week and is a vital and integral part of our pre-season planning" Agar told the Mail.

"We meticulously laid a plan down in the off-season as to what would be the best way forward for the group and how we would approach pre-season.

"In that aspect it is a case of so far so good and we are very happy with where the guys are at.
