Yes.
He went off and didn't come back on having failed the tests.

Yep I was thinking the same and surprised to see him in the initial squad s surely there's no way he can play with the new rules?

Giants to win by 12,
Agar sacked on Monday

I hope I am wrong but after last week V Hull, I saw few if any positives. Looks like a long game ahead in terrible conditions.

That's why I thought they may have decided just not to risk putting him back on rather than him failing a test.

Agar Sacked on Monday

That is not going to happen, whether you want it to or not

Looking at the leeway given to Furner and the 4 game ultimatum given to mac that time, you'd suppose Agar won't get too much grace to stick a few performances together.

if Agar gets the sack within 4-5 games of the season it will look worse on Sinfield and Hetherington than Agar, that's why it won't happen, as it happens I think we'll win more than we lose in the next 5 anyway, people are placing too much on last weeks performance IMO.

Agree completely

The thing is they set a precedence by sacking Furner so soon. And that was a guy they head hunted, waited half a season for and brought half way around the world. Why should someone of Agar's standing in the game be afforded more time?

We will see what happens but the fans aren't daft and can see what has been happening to the club. 2 years of dross now is fair enough if you can see progress but.....

Debateable

We are one bloody game into the new season and we are talking about Agar getting the sack, that IS daft if not entirely predictable.

This was always going to be the problem with the appointment of Agar. I said repeatedly last year Agar would be named Coach and wouldve been named it months before he was if the powers that be believed he would be accepted by the fans.

Unfortunately he never will be and every loss will see fans calling for his head and blaming him for the defeat.

The truth is the fans are probably right and hes not the right man for the job. He wont be sacked though. Hes trusted by Sir Kev.

Going to make a bit of tension between the club and the fans the longer it goes on though.

Agree with this, he will never be given credit for a win though. I reckon we could finish in the top 4 and he wouldn't get credit, this forum has form for wanting coaches sacking, even when they are winning trophies

I think this forum will be pretty unbearable this year, I'll see how it goes but I may sit it out for a bit.

The team that plays on Sunday is probably worse than the team who played at Saints last season , we have hardly improved the squad in my opinion , if anyone can point me out more than 3 quality players in it then i will be astounded .

I can’t but I will add if Koni doesn’t play the three quarters could be Newman Sutty Evans Handley. Give me strength.
