What happened to the Flanagan rumours, at least he was a proven coach.
Interestingly, Carr would’ve been coaching at Cronulla during Flanagan’s time there.
The other name in the frame was Demetriou, who whilst not having had a head coach job at NRL or SL level, does have a track record of success below that, and has now been involved successfully under Wayne Bennett for some time.
I wouldn’t be against either route there, Flanagan or Demetriou, but would prefer Carr stays and goes fulltime as part of any new setup for some stability.
Agar didn’t seem to want the role, and almost appears to have done it begrudgingly, albeit with some level of success of turning things round. Credit where it’s due there. But if he doesn’t really want the role, then let’s find someone that does. No point appointing for the sake of it. Get someone who has a point to prove, be that Flanagan rebuilding his name after the NRL ban, or someone like Demetriou who is looking to build his own career. The latter has the advantage of knowing SL at least after his time playing over here.
What I do want is a coach who has us playing a decent brand of rugby, look what Holbrook has achieved at Saints, they play with real pace and intensity which other teams are struggling to match. It’s actually great to watch the speed at which they play the game.
Invest in the right coach, add a class 6/7, plus an absolute unit of a prop, and we’re not a million miles away. Then place faith in the youngsters for the other squad gaps rather than more journeymen. We’re often told we have a generation of real talent coming through, give them the shot under the right calibre of intuitive and attacking coach, then watch us climb back up the table.
Sure I saw it on here a couple of days ago, that we may be overpaying some players, just to get them to come. Improve the coaching, play some quality rugby, and the right level of players will want to join again.

Barrie Mac has an interview on Sky today stating that Leeds won't go with another coach from overseas. He reckons Agar will be part of the team but not sure if he will be head coach or not.

What is the title of the job he held before this ? " head of coaching and player development " ? He stated he didnt want the coaching job permanently. If that is still his intention he may have an input as to who is next coach .

So is Agar still the man? Sinfield blowing smoke up his ar5e pre match based on 2 wins against really poor teams

I've said even when they were winning that hes not the man so not just saying after this poor performance. That still stands. Hes not the man.

Agars record resumes. Cannot string 3 wins together

Haven't won 3 in a row for 2 seasons. Agar is not alone in that stat

Don't know if Agar will be coach but surely the real lesson is that sts whilst looking well coached just have a far superior roster in key positions. Even with so many out how many Leeds players would get in their 17?

Yeah I agree totally. Ava Merrin Hurrel would. Newman would also be in the overall squad. Apart from that no one

I’ve been watching Agar quite closely in media interviews and he just seems to lack that little edge of confidence that the real top coaches have.

He has done a great job as interim IMO and deserves to be kept at the club. I’d even run with the current set-up if we can’t find the right candidate. I think we need someone else to take us back to the top level though.

Were not going to be at top level til at least 2021 so if it means Agar for a year till we get rid of some players and find the right man then so be it
