Wakefield Trinity Wildcats coach Richard Agar says he's relishing the opportunity to be a part of something special at the club in 2012.
There is renewed optimism at the Wildcats following the arrival of new chairman Andrew Glover and the recruitment of a host of new players ahead of the new season. They can be backed at 351.00 to win the regular season and are 1001.00 to triumph in the Grand Final, while Challenge Cup success is available at 2001.00.
I'm as keen to deliver success as I ever have been.

Also new to the club is former Hull FC boss Agar, who has been tasked with leading the club forward on the field while the chairman attempts to puts things in place off it.
"The chairman is very keen to lay a foundation for future success, and naturally that's something I'm really keen to buy in to as well. Most of the players we have here are tied to long contracts and that bodes well for the future," said Agar, who saw his side beat local rivals Castleford Tigers in a pre-season friendly on Sunday.
"I've been very pleased with some aspects of our pre-season, while others have made it clear to me that there's some work to be done. But that's natural and it's what this time of the year is all about."
While head coach at Hull, Agar oversaw a period of consolidation following a Grand Final appearance in 2006 and Challenge Cup Final victory in 2005.
"In many ways the expectations are the same here as they were there. I haven't compared Hull FC with Wakefield or seen it as a step down to a so-called smaller club at all. It's another job in the Super League and I'm as keen to deliver success as I ever have been."
