| After how he went at Hull and then the last 2 seasons with us I would say no thanks.He talks a good game and the players like him but for me hes more of an assistant than head coach.For a head coach to say we went ok yesterday says to me he watched a different game to the rest of us.

| Quote Khlav Kalash="Khlav Kalash"To be honest I dont think Agar is suited to be a head coach so having someone who has never been one shouldn't be too massive a step bckwards. They've all got to start somehere. I don't believe Wane had been a head coach before he got the Wigan job.'"
And neither was Michael Mcguire before him. Or Paul Anderson at table topping Huddersfield. In fact of the 9 clubs above us in superleague 6 have coaches in their first job so it shouldn't be a barrier if the candidate has the right credentials.
That said right now Agar is doing an acceptable job with an average superleague squad. But doesn't he have another year to run on his deal anyway? To be honest i'm pretty ambivalent either way, there are pro's and con's to him both staying and going. Maybe better the devil you know for now. Wasn't there a rumour a few weeks ago that Webster was returning to Oz at the end of the year and Sean Long was replacing him as assistant?

| Quote Trojan Horse="Trojan Horse"Not particularly convinced as lose the next two games which looks highly likely and its highly possible we will sit in 12th position to finish which is pretty dire tbh.
Now if others are investing heavily for next year like Salford and cas I really fear for us next season. With the same squad minus a few bodies and plus Tuson only signed Agar has alot to do next year.'"
Got to agree with you, Trojan
A 12th place finish is not really good enough (especially after making the 8 last season) AND with a settled squad, taking away the excuses from the first half of last season about "not having gelled" etc.

| With the third year of his contract to go I would maybe have waited until part way through next season to negotiate/consider any extension. Whilst we had a good run last season that set the standard with pretty much the same squad.
Compared to last season we have under performed and I think we will finish in 12th spot. I hope to be proven wrong. I believe on paper we are a better team than the league table suggests. Could do better.
We maybe building for the future yet I have less optimism for next season than a few months ago. Agar needs to prove that he can lift the players/discipline them to get results. We've lost too many winnable games this year IMVHO.

| Not happy if it's true. Some players / teams just need a new man at the helm in order to kick on and I reckon that's what we need. Cas, Warrington, KR, Hudds, both saints and Wigan in the past have changed coaches and seem to go up a level. No reflection on Agar, just how it is, new broom, new ideas, fresh motivation.

| I don't understand why, he's got 1 year left and I don't see anyone coming in for him.

| I think it just shows the team as a whole that he is boss for the next couple of years so the structures are important to follow.
Nathan Brown was always just on the edge of in or out and that always seemed to upset Huddersfield. They have benefitted from some stability

Exactly ! let that year run and offer him one further year after that PROVIDING he avoids relegation.

| So we have to put up with his stupid bench selection for another two years?

| I'd be happy with that, I'm pro-Agar at the moment.
The way I see it, we didn't earn 8th last year, we were gifted it via Bradford's point deduction so shouldn't feel over proud with that achievement. This year, yes some decisions were made that may not have been what we personally would have done but we don't know the ins and outs and what happens behind the scenes, despite most people on here acting like they do! I think we have looked more creative this year and showed potential in many games, I think we only missed out on the 8 because of the same stupid player errors which cost us many points each game, I'd hold the players more responsible for the lost games than Agar!

That's hardly building a team though is it. If he was good enough to get him on board, give him a fair crack and let him have some stability for his future as well.

| Also, I'd put more value in the criticism of Agar, if it wasn't exactly the same criticism that people (possibly the same ones) gave Kear.
Picking people they don't like, not just throwing the kids in, playing a bench that they don't like.......all said about Kear as well.
