I’m going to put this out there and say I think Agar will take the side forward next year.

Partly due to the squad starting next season already being stronger on the squad that started this, partly because I think he has an idea what needs to change.

There is a danger that within the Leeds bubble they believe they are better than they really are, but I expect us to be competitive next season and then challenging for honours after that. Some of the senior players are more like it now; and the younger players are going to get better (and new ones graduate into first grade).

Now I’ve said that the club will probably fall into a hole, Agar will get sacked and I’ll be chased off this forum with pitchforks.

it depends who comes in. with this squad its 8th at best for me

I’d take 8th if it meant we got a really developmental year in for the likes of McLelland, Johnson, Oledzki,
Holroyd, Mustapha, Walters etc.

Just can’t see us winning anything next year within the room we have to work in. It’s about the future team and how we build for 2021 and beyond.

Its a fair point it was just an idea?

I'm not sure where the pessimism is here. We are currently 8th. We may slip down depending on results, but we are currently an 8th placed side. Form over the last half of the season is much improved, and many of the issues that were present at the start of the season have been sorted. With an off season to get the team together Agar can put a plan together for the season. It won't be a stellar season, but is hope for a challenge for the play offs, albeit, we may fall short

cant see us anywhere near 5th sorry

Getting near 5th is not a badge of honour in this day and age.

Considering the mess Agar had to take over from I think hes done well and if the season had started when he took over we would have been joint 5th.So with hopefully a fit Ward and Crosby plus maybe another signing 5th should be a definite possibility.

Steady there, people will think you are being positive about Agar!

I'm cautiously optimistic for next season under agar. I'm not expecting trophies but the morale has come back a bit, I think he is giving youth a controlled chance and defensively we have looked better (my biggest single disappointment under Furner).

Then again, nothing leaves you feeling happy like a win on the last day of the season.

Not too disappointed. We have improved under him and the players seem on board and with him. It’s not a long term deal. We need a few more signings don’t think we are going to win anything next year but I am optimistic we will be better placed

Barrie McDermott just said on Fev game that he understands Carr will join leeds full time next year. Don't know if I'm late to that news?

My Fev supporting mate told me a couple of weeks back that Carr was Rhinos bound for 2020
What role he will have?'"

Id be very happy with that

Mclelland going well incidently scoring a lovely try. Alex Sutcliffe looking strong and running some good lines too scoring 2

If he had have been at Cas, I bet money on it he would have played most games under Powell. The lad looks a million miles above what we have been playing all season. We should just go with him, and se3 if it works. We know current option doesn’t.
