Quote: Once were Loiners "If the coach has lost the dressing room its all over. As several have suggested, that looked like a side wanting to see the coach gone. Hopefully GH recognises that we can't let it drag on like we did with Furner. If he wants to turn things around this season he needs to act now.
The squad has issues, but if we got a quality coach in things would change a lot. I understand that some of our supposedly weaker players aren't the worst, but I think that's probably because some of our better players aren't even trying.
I reckon Sezer may well have realized he was sold a lemon on joining Leeds. He was no doubt impressed by Headingley and talk of ambition etc. But then he's seen what he's playing with and perhaps not surprisingly he may be one of the senior players self-sabotaging the team. We'd all prefer him and others to show 'fight' - but he and Austin are in their 30s and Leeds is probably their last big gig.
So many issues with the squad are self-inflicted. Lack of big props has been a problem for several seasons, and this obsession with 'middles' keeps getting shown up as utterly flawed. If we'd made props a focus and not signed King last year and signed and re-signed Thompson our pack could look entirely different.
Re-signing hacks has been a constant problem, as it smacks of no ambition. And in some roles young players aren't given proper chances while championship-standard players keep getting picked. Does anyone think some of the other players can't see these things?
We all know the definition of madness is to keep doing the same and expecting different results. Sadly Agar is in the vortex of bad results leading to conservatism leading to more bad results.'"
Think that’s a fair summary, however if that’s Sezer’s attitude then it would stink (it might well be but might not) I don’t think Austin has been all that bad, he does seem to have a decent attitude.
Agar isn’t daft, he’s alluded to it in his presser, he’s very honest and has pretty much said that if this group of players, and there is talent in there, don’t perform going forward the fault lies squarely on his shoulders.
If he has lost the dressing room then I think he’ll walk away.
