Negative points difference in 2010 says it all for me.

All you need to do to get a feeling about How fans feel about Agar is read just about any thread on this board as they all eventually lead to talks about Agar

is useless. End of!

The OP should be ashamed of himself, just for a second when I saw the thread 'Richard Agar' I thought that perhaps he had been sacked, saving me from another season of watching boring rugby with zero imagination. The thread is pretty pointless as most fans views are set in stone.



Personally I cannot see how he would be anyone's choice as coach, those who tie up supporting the club and team with supporting him are misguided in my view. We all want the team to do well and play well and will support them, however I just cannot see him making us competitive at the top of SL, no matter how many contract extensions he gets. If we have any ambitions I think we need change.

Agar starts with a bit of a clean slate as any coach does for any season. I'll judge him again based on the performances on the pitch (not that i'll see them)



The only difference for me is that he has a little less flex for poor performances this year than he did last year.



History would say for me that he isn't up to the job. I'm happy to have him prove me wrong and he has the chance.

I think most of us are in that situation!

I've lost count of the number of times i've thought this going into a season only to be let down. Pray for once that this year a coach can live up to my expectations around getting performances out of a side.

(i've obviously got high expectations!)

surely the yardstick is Wigan with Maguire - he turned basically the same squad of players from an average SL outfit to a winning side - same players different regime/training methods etc

That's not taking anything away from Nobby who transformed Crusaders into a play-off side.

Seems to me the BOD doesn't have the b***s to make that change...

Our main problem is we change our game plan to much when players are missing.

I'd have said the opposite. I'd have said that our main problem was defaulting to 5 drives and a kick when we have players missing rather than replacements able to simply fill the gap.

How is that the opposite Dave?



We've both agreed when players are missing we change our game plan.

I watched them 'live' once last season v Catalans and they were awesome - Longy ran the show and I can't think of a bad performance - O'Meley,Whiting and Yeaman especially were immense against a decent Catalans side - can't see any major problems for you this season especially with the addition of Sharp & Westerman - still the same coach tho' ................
