Lots of teams look better on paper, Hull and Leeds are 2 of them, but injuries will have the biggest impact on how a team performs, and the teams with the least injuries will probably but the teams at the top.

Hull look a darn site better on paper than we do and it will take a monumental effort from us tommorow as i feel they will be too strong , too quick and too skillfull , yes we will be better than last year but still not a top 4 side . Those positions will be filled by Saints , Hull , Wire and Wigan probably in that order

My guess is that Agar will be gone before Radford. Agar and Webster what winning credentials have they got?

Or is that just what you are hoping for, you are you one of those people who thinks we should of and could of pulled out the next über coach from the NRL from out of Nowhere.
Agar might not be a truly great coach but is a steady Eddie and we need that for the next year or two. Radford has had plenty of chances and plenty of money to throw around for a number of years now and as got nowhere near a grand final winning side, anything less than top 3 and a grand final or challenge cup and he will be gone for next year. Unlike Agar who will not be under the same pressure and will be safe for this year minimum, if and when a better option comes along he may get moved upstairs, but I suspect he will over see succession from within, Rob may have been the natural successor in a year or two, but Has a more important battle to worry about.

Ps there are currently only about 3 coaches in super league that have won trophies and the most successful one is our former coach, so what's your point

Agar won’t be gone no matter what. He will be back in his appointed position, once the other is qualified. This ruse I stated on here last June, when people were speculating on Furners replacement.

Who's playing at 6 for them tomorrow? Connor?

? Be a good 2-3 years before JJB is qualified Gotcha its a long time to steady the ship if results are not going your way?

Qualified interms of paper qualification? Wont take 5 minutes!

What would be the point in that though. Just a face to make the fans happy? If Agars still pulling the strings in the back ground its a waste of time? Cant see it to be honest be another 2 coaches before that happens. Ive read its Kevs long term view to have the head coach come from within but for me JJB needs to earn his stripes and manage his own team to gain experience and im sure Jamie would want to coach on his own terms not be managed by Agar and Kev?

Appreciate all that. I was just commenting on how long it would take to attend the relevant courses. Unless by qualified you meant experienced. Incidentally, listening to chev walkers recent interviews he seems miles off, doesnt fill me with any confidence at all.

I doubt he is pulling the strings now.

Yes, unfortunately

Ah yes i agree. Not seen the walker interviews but again the fella has never coached his own team so i guess hes learning too?

Off field in regards to recruitment and forward planning No i agree. But watching the show on sky the other night he seemed to be well in control of the on field stuff.

Have you been told this or is it just a hunch?
