Quote: gostrider "I think Berro will leave at the end of the season. There's rumblings he's unhappy and arguing with the club.
Personally I couldn't blame him. We're a massive club with huge potential but being ran poorly in the critical areas. We are on a slide. 5 years ago we were told we needed 10,000 gates to compete with the top sides. This year we average around 15,000 - yet lie 7th (just - I think we will finish lower). What 'big' club would appoint an untried assisstant coach? Would Mike Phelan replace Fergusson??? Did Leeds appoint an unknown coach when Smith left? Didn't Saints bring in the impressive Mick Potter?
We chose Agar. Cheap, won't rock the boat. A yes man for the board and saved the board the 'effort' of trying to interview an appoint the right man. I doubt even Peter Sharp would have allowed Thorman to be the replacement for Dykes!
Under Agar we play the most boringiest, 1 up rugby. A coach who interchanges our prized signing (Berro) with Thomas Lee. A rookie!! Yet Rule comments we are doing well.
And if Agar fails - The board have the ready made replacement in Jon Sharp. Nothing will change.
I see us struggling for wins this year. Our defence is ok but attack is shocking and clueless. I think we will miss the top 8. Probably finish 10th
so.....
If you was Berrigan, would you want to stay?????'"
Berro is being paid a fortune, he wont be going anywhere!
As for your Sharp wouldn't have replaced Dykes with Thorman comment, Sharps recruitment and also shipping out of our star players have probably set us back 4 years!
Give Agar a chance to build his own team before you hang him out to dry! We have a large amount of players out of contract at the end of the year and with that the chance to change our squad considerably.
Tommy Lee has played very consistently this year but of course he is the token player many "supporters" choose to criticise regardless of how he plays.
