Quote: Stanley Cat "It is not just a case of calling for Agars head on a knee jerk reaction, there were players in that team today that need to takle a long hard look at how they played. The new guy Tautai did well but must have thought he has signed for a local pub team. Ben C, Tim S, Washbrook and Fox were absolute crap. This should have been a banker win for us but as I said last week I can't see where the next win will come from, top 8, not this year but we have got used to hearing we are a new team next season will be better (my booty). Let Agar run the french team we need someone who can build a team who can play together as proffesionals not blundering amatures.'"

Give Karl Harrison a crack.

I said the same about JK and I will say it about agar. Saying we cannot get anyone better is no excuse to let someone fail to fulfil their job, which is coach the players so they look like there is a game plan and some decent structures in place.

It seems to me agar is relying on some off the cuff stuff to get us enough points to win games. The team seem incapable of earning territory and building pressure through good honest hard work.

Defence is atrocious and shows no sign of improving and the fight seems to have gone out of the team cos when the going gets tough too many if em go missing

Quote: jack in the box "Look you can all question Agars judgement as much as you want but with the squad he has been given all that was needed was a couple of injuries and a drop in form from a player or two and the bloke has no where to go.

As an example we started the season with one hooker, one half back and a stand off who was a centre/ fullback that we dropped lucky with. Wildie and Wood our only back ups are not SL class.

I seem to remember a great deal of Euphoria when the spirit of 1873 took over the club. I remember Andrew Glover been interviewed as he walked around the terraces saying "The clubs financial problems are now over" and "We will be spending the full salary cap"

The bottom line is whilst ever we spend less than everyone else in SL we have no right to expect anything other than being at the bottom of the plie. Its a miracle that we have won as many games as we have.

So sack Agar, bring in someone else but things won't be much different unless the new coach is given the financial resources that the other coachs have at their disposal.'"

No he said we wouldn't spend to the full cap, but would do it in stages

One hooker? Agar sold Andy Ellis and should have kept him to play off the bench rather than burn out Aiton for a full 80 mins.

On paper we have a good 19 SL standard players, quite a few with recognised representative honours from across the world with some good developing players like Annakin yet we play like a bunch of strangers with no composure, leadership, passion or structure. When it gets this bad you have to look at the coach and his coaching methods as we are getting worse every week, not at spending even more money through that coach.

We were outplayed by Cas today but they were dire defensively.

The point is we are not spending anything near the cap and have the lowest spend in SL so in fairness to Agar
(and I don't think he is that good a coach) we can't expect miracles and can't expect to be anything other than a club sitting at the bottom of SL.

He never came in and said we would be spending full cap as I remember it. He said and he reiterated it at the first fans meeting we did that, we would be working to spend the full cap in the next 3 years. He talked about doing it with the right marketing, business plan and getting bums on seats.

The one quote I can find staright from his lips is"secure the long-term future and give this historic club a fresh start under Spirit of 1873's ownership. At the core of our plans is securing the financial stability which will allow us to support the team on the field and give our loyal fans the experience and success they deserve."'"

So it is not Agars fault for signing e like Lyne and Molloy when the money could of gone to signing a decent interchange hooker or centre, if money is that tight.

Thought we were spending more than Cas, Salford & Widnes personally. Anyhere to find out exactly?

Will not defend him re Lyne who looks like a bad signing but I do know the only reason we have Molloy is because he is very,very, cheap and his wage would buy an average hooker never mind a good one.

Molloy is no better than Mariano, Mellars, Walshaw or Trout. Whether he is cheap or not it was still a waste of money.

I dont expect miracles,but a few defensive structures or a game plan would suffice.
I agree he has what he has to work with..............but it his choice to let Ellis go,Mariano go,bring in Molloy(probably the most pointless and waste of money signing ever).
It his team and the buck stops with him,it doesnt take a great deal of salary cap money to at least have a team that are motivated.

I know what your saying but wouldn't you rather Agar sign quality rather than quantity and blend our own youth players in with them ala Wigan. Lyne and molloys wages together would surely get a decent player

Its a murky world but I would say Salford were spending less than us at the start of the season but not now.

Widnes are near to the full cap I have heard

Cas about the same as us.

Point is that is why those three teams along with us are in the bottom third of the table and teams like Wigan,Leeds,Wire are at the top its all about money at the end of the day.
