Agar was with us for two seasons I think and in that first season we were a decent outfit. Wouldn’t say we were exceptional in defence but ok. However as time went on we got worse until the 2015 team arrived and they were dreadful. Agar was not in charge at that point and the team had been decimated by then so it’s hard to say whether it was a legacy of his coaching.

If your looking for a defence messiah I’m not convinced, Kear is more your man for that imo.

I am hearing they are trying to get Shane Flanging ex sharks coach who is banned from nrl

Yeah, Flannagn's name's been mentioned since almost the moment the news broke about Furner's sacking, along with Wane, Marshall and ex Panther coach Anthony Griffin

Could JD throw his cap into the ring?

Is he that desperate?

He doesn’t need to be a messiah with the defence, just anything approaching solid and reasonable will be a big step up from what we’ve had so far in that department. Sounding more and more like he won’t be in charge for too long anyway.

Interesting point expressed by CC in his recent interview when asked about Furner, Quote " players win matches, coaches loose matches" a reference to most people/fans views - I think ? However, certainly not mine.

I'd imagine a bit like Roosters Assistant Coach Adam O’Brien, he'll be eyeing up a big NRL gig sooner or later. Both are in the betting for the Leeds jobs but also both are very highly rated down under as assistants and if he came over and it didn't work it could derail his whole career. You never know though.

If he asked me for advice, which clearly he hasn't, I'd say stay as you are.
His prospects to go from where he is now to be in charge as Head Coach are much better in Oz.

Did JD not openly say only a few weeks a go that he would snap at the chance of a head coach gig in SL? Whether or not it is the right move for him or not, it is a big opportunity and quite a good one - The Leeds board seemed to back Furner with funds for players and lets be honest the side that they have over at Headingley isn`t as bad as they have shown, okay I don`t think they are top 5 material but you would say mid table based on ability. The only real negatives for me looking at the role would be the apparent control from above and the pressure of a unreasonable bunch of fans - Lets be honest, is there any other group of fans out there that would be calling for the head of a coach that has just made history by winning the treble?

Oh and IMO, I think they could do much worse than stick with Agar for the rest of the season, I think we will see an improved Leeds under him.

If JD were to take the Leeds job I think it would share many parallels with the situation when Tony Smith took the Rhinos job.

RE Agar, go listen to the interview that Isaac John did on "The Locker Room" its quite an interesting chat.
