Told buy a first team member that Agar was like a horse in foal with Washbrook and Wood when he first arrived, and also the same two sat on his table while eating at the club after training laughing at Agar's poor jokes, I will also say Wakefield had 3 far better players in the squad in Ellis, Wildie and Moore ? Kyle Wood could not kick a barn door, his defence is weak, and offers nothing in creativity ? Ask his former 6 clubs who released him, Wakefield acadamy, Doncaster, Batley, Cas, Sheffield, Hudds, WHY does this clown Agar play him, and WHY would Nathan Brown at Hudds give him away for nothing, It beggars belief !!!

I would agree he is not a John Kear type that is very media friendly but I don't think that limits his communication to his players.
I know a few guys who have worked with him previously and they liked him. I've talkedto him myself and he is clearly not the old fashioned ex player who hada go at coaching and din't realise its a different job. He is an intelliegent guy who is developing his career. He isn't the finished article by a long way but I hope he gets there with us.

Funny, as I've spoken with him directly - he comes across as articulate, intelligent and totally obsessive about the game; he has his own theories about why he doesn't feature much in the media and seems pretty happy not to do so.

I've also spoken to several players, all of whom were very positive about him.

Not very scientific I know, but useful for balance?

Yes, and I liked PopTart's post too. I hope he has massive success at Wakefield.

Not true, Aiton was top of Agars list and it had nothing to do with Morrison. Also one a hooker and the others a S/R. If Morrison had a replacement I'd guess it was Southern.

I have to repent here and admit I was wrong about the guy. His faith in the players he kept picking has certainly paid of for him. He put together the foundations of a half decent mid table team, while playing some real attractive rugby. All on a limited budget. With a bit of tinkering here and there I think we could be a team to challenge for the top 7 next year, year on year progression! This is one time I’m very happy to be proved wrong!
