When Briers move up was announced, TS said that he didn't think any player should leave the playing staff and go straight into coaching with the same team. He said they all needed time away from the group before coming back. That's why Briers went to the 19s, Clarke went to Widnes, and Monas went to Catalan.

I would love this to be true, removing the speed bump that is Agar HAS to be good news.

Yes please. Sure it'd be popular with the team and might give Joel a boost as well being back with his bro. I'm not even sure if it's Agar is to blame for our current woes or just coincidence, but he's not exactly set the world alight with his work elsewhere so couldn't be worse.

Did he say it in a proper Manc accent too ? Was he MAD-FOR-IT !!!

I for one don't know what the responsibilities are with respect to coaching at Warrington.
IF Agar's influence is significant then there are qeustions to be asked about his performance as it's not really worked out on the field.
I didn't expect us to be as good as last year but at times we've looked lost.
However if TS has the main say about on field tactics / practice then why kick Agar?

As for MM, I'm not sure how good he is as a coach but he was pivotal as a player. I'd like him back.

MM/LB as a team - no - too inexperienced.

I 'kick' Agar as he has not proved himself with his previous clubs, or what we have seen this season with Wires.
As I don't know what happens on a daily basis regarding training I might be adding 2 and 2 together and getting 5, but I can live with that.

I haven't heard one player or Tony Smith "big up" Agar in the face of all the criticism he is receiving on the forum and Warrington Guardian outlets.
We do get a lot of comments on here from fans of clubs he was previously involved with stating relief when he had left.

Mind you Tony Smith has never, to my knowledge, accepted responsibility for the poor performances and season. Rather he seems like a bemused outsider commenting on things out of his control like injuries and game scheduling.

I suspect it would be like a breath of fresh air if he ever said "I've made a few mistakes with player recruitment and my team, mistakes that I have learnt from and will be putting right for next season. Keep the faith and thank you for your continued support".

Finally someone with some sense. People have been calling to get Monas as coach for ages and they we have no clue he'd be a good coach. Just because he was a brilliant player doesn't mean he'll be able to teach your skills and organise others from an off the field position.

And for anyone saying he'll have the teams respect and he'll know the players at least, I have one word. Cullen. Do you remember how that worked out?

oh yes, the similarities between the 2 potential appointments are uncanny.

Surely Agar was just another signing as far as the club was concerned & hasn't influenced which players weren't signed & how the team were conditioned. His appointment came from higher up in the club. In that sense Agar is bomb proof.

Monas back to wire in place of Agar would make me very happy
Jon Clarke is an excellent appointment, turner can run his bloody boot camps somewhere else

Agars good at being. Bomb proof,he was under the Hetherington regime and had the worst record of all the coaches under said regime and lasted for 4 long,boring years.Was reluctant to use academy players even though we won 2/3 grand finals at that level but the players spoke highly of him,which considering the way we played was baffling.Its no coincidence that your form has dipped with him being there.

Monaghan and Clarke could be worse than Agar and Turner. How would we ever know?

I heard that Monas and Briers to take over first team duties next season with TS as Director of Rugby, whatever that means. Mind you I also heard that TS was going to Widnes to replace Betts who is going to Wigan to replace Wayne. Where smiler is going I haven't heard yet. Take your pick.

Now is not the time to have doubts. This board has an outstanding record in undertaking detailed analysis on the smallest piece of circumstantial evidence. For instance, who would have thought that the conditioner could have been fingered from a completely innocuous picture in the WG ? And yet we tracked him down and outed him.

And then there is Agar - we all knew he was completely useless, even though nobody actually knows what he does, but we didn't have the evidence. Fortunately somebody spotted that he had a very poor track record before he joined us - conclusive proof that he is causing all the coaching problems.

And Finally Monas for coach - well, it's clear he would be outstanding for us because he was a great player, and we like him. Just because Les Cats ( sorry Cat) are having a poor season means nothing. In fact I can reveal the proof that he is a shoe-in for us lies in the fact that Monas has single handedly kept Les Cats (sorry again Catpis) out of the middle 8's.

Simple really.
