OK.....I dont wanna sound naive here.......But.....I'm gonna anyway!!!!!
Right...all those shouting for Agars head on the silver plate....What do you suggest he does? I know some of you have been rugby fans for years and really do know the game inside out.(I'm not having a pop at ya) Now we are all in agreement the Rich Agar is indeed a 'nice bloke'......The players respect him too. Soooooo just what is happening to make quite a few folk suggest that he has to go. We have a team full of potential world beaters...Fitz, Long,the new revitalised Horney. We have a scary pack, we have a few bright young stars like Briscoe and Lynn.......So what would you 'in the know' folk suggest a new coach would do something different? Where would he start? What would he say to the squad? Some of ya claim to have coached teams in the past, or are even coaching at amature/youth level.......WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON THE TRAINING FIELD that Agar isnt doing. As far as i'm aware.......the lads are still 'pulling up trees' in training and the fitness levels are on a high! The coaching techniques are spot on....its the final execution that is, or seems to be lacking that certain spark the first game at St's had.....C'mon...WHAT WOULD ANOTHER COACH DO??????? Or am I indeed a total know-nowt?
For me.....the likes of Fitz, O,Meley, Long and Radders cant and wont be re-trained/coached (Radders is a good coach anyway!).....They are the finished article and it is these players that should be helping Agar become a better coach.
Bringing in a 'seasoned' coach would possibly create a conflict of interests with him telling someone of Craig Fitzgibbons experience how to play RL.
The losses we have endured so far as I can see are not due to 'coaching malfunction'.....No...They are down to the last step of the team bus......The players seem to be doing the job at home.....they just need to have the same heart when they travel. On Friday...the bus will be landing in 'Injun country'.....or half hour walk from my house
......I think the Lads have a point to prove that day....And they will prove it!
Monday will be a bigger test.......But I can see us getting all four points!
I say stick with Agar (for now)....he will be a top coach one day.....I'd like it to be with us and not having him comming back to haunt us!
