@GaryCarter_1979: Looks like Richard Agar could be named France coach as soon as tomorrow.

Freelance RL journalist, including for The Sun. No mug.

Might be a World Cup only appointment. Not much to do in between, I suppose.

here we go again

"return to France"?

I wonder if it's Kear, and the reporter has heard the words Wakefield and Hull and made the wrong connection.

Nick Rigg from the Wakefield Express tweeted the same about half an hour ago. I sincerely hope this is a part time role and agar isnt leaving us.

Im with slugger on this one its John Kear he was at Paris at one bit if you remember and his deal with Batley is if anything comes up he can go and if they want rid its no problem.

I suppose if other people are selecting the squad (and let's face it, it's Catalan plus the best of the rest), then I suppose what is there to do? Doesn't the French domestic season end in around April?

Can't see how it would impact on his time too much, and I presume it's really about getting them through the World Cup. Might help him grow as a coach too.

Well done to the guy.

What bothers me more is the fact that he applied last year for Trent Robinson's job, if that part is true.

Just announced on Sky.....as a rumour.
But they also said part time just for World Cup.

Great that he's being recognised but Wakefield must be the priority.
