Quote: Saddened! "From the outside looking in I'm really not sure what Agar has done to engender such loyalty from the Rhinos board? He doesn't strike me as being any more worthy to be in a DOR role than a head coach role. If he had a glittering CV of previous coaching and leadership greatness then fine, but where is it?
Are there any rumours on where you go from here? Will Sean Long be given a chance? Or JJB? Or straight to the assistant coach market in the NRL? Plenty of worthwhile candidates there.
There are some decent senior coaches available in Danny Ward with his Leeds ties, Paul Green from the NRL. Cameron Ciraldo at the Panthers has a big reputation and wants to be a head coach, Michael Monaghan likewise, currently at Manly I think?'"
As a saints fan you probably won't know that the Hetherington's love him as thier own (especially Kath who was in charge at Hull where she installed him as head coach as well), so that is why he get the 'loyalty'. It is also why they have stated 'he has stepped down' rather than being sacked so they can continue to keep in a job 'for the boys' position where he will have no chance of being sacked. The facts are if you know Agar personally he is far too arrogant and too big an ego to step down of his own accord, and you can ask any of the players and they will tell you the same.... He has failed miserably at each of the 'Big' clubs he has coached at who have had the 'biggest' player budget. I see many have fallen for the 'Agar stepped down' line the club have put out.....bbbhhhhaaaaahhh
