| Quote ="fat ash"Richard Agar clearly does not tell the players to go out there and have no second phase , nor does he tell them to take wrong options or make silly errors
It takes a degree of player initiatve , and motivation to do well for the team and most importantly , quality.
Executed properly, the way we are playing can be highly effective no matter how "boring " it may be, but when we should be playing error free rugby with good kicks and forcing errors , the lads on the feild are sloppy.
It started at the back end of the Kear regime , then during the sharp era and now with Agar , when will people realise that the same problem cannot be down to so called "negative" tactics and realise that the current squad with the players missing that are , isn't good enough to be classed as top 4.
So at risk of becoming more unpopular than he is at the moment, lay off the guy .'"
I agree some of the players are just not good enough and must shoulder some of the blame for the position we find ourselves in. But you give the same side a better coach and we would have won half the games we have lost so far this season.

| Been saying this for a while, Agars gotta go his tactics have been shocking, leaving 2 subs on the bench ( one of them which has been one of our best players this season ) until the last 15 minutes when the game was over isnt a wise decision, and also wot do they do in training as we had 3 sets on the saints line and on everyone of them sets i noticed we did one man drive and then a kick in the ingoal which went dead

To be fair you have played against two thirds of the top three.

TBF Saints played at 30% and Leeds are a shadow of themselves. Both there for the beating if we had a clue!

| Agar is still an assistant coach in my opinion. He lacks the tactical awareness that many super league coaches have. This must be something that stems from Australia as people like morgan and nathan brown are very clever coaches especially in comparison to two british coaches, 1 being an out an out assistant at this level and 1 being a failed super league coach. That point aside I have also been informed that agar highlighted sean long as saints weak link in defense for this weekends game.... great way to fill people with confidence with his signing capabilities!

On friday night Saints had a youngster playing on the wing Johny lomax i think his name was, playing only a handful of games for them very inexperienced yet at no stage on Friday night did we try to get at this kid and test him out in fact i know it was never even mentioned by our coaches to the players
Fooking clueless, maybe they was too busy concentrating on the interchanges oh hang on maybe not

30% you donought
If we played at 30% then Hull are under 1% FFS. If we played you 10 times you'd be lucky to win 1 (ala 2005)

Top coaches (particularly ozzie ones) look at the opposition in minute detail looking for any weaknesses to expolit. I'm convinced agar doesn't do any of it as there is never any evidnce on game days that he has

If you had a brain I think you'd realise he meant saints were playing at around 30% of their potential. It was a complement you fukwit

Lomax is a fullback normally and as such comfortable dealing with kicks, so why would you think targeting him would have brought any results? Dont assume cos we didnt kick to him more often that the coaching staff dont assess opposition weakness in detail.

So does that mean he would all of a sudden lose the ability to catch!

Agar is not Head Coach material.
I don't wish to sound cruel, but when he is interviewed he doesn't come across as very bright and in fact sounds not at all confident in himself.
How the players respond to this man being in charge is there for all to see.
The club needs a leader.
Someone with a reputation and pedigree, who the players will listen and learn from.
Someone who can get the best out of the players he has, and identify the players he needs.
This man is not Agar.
Never has been and never will be.

No not all numpty, but surely any coach with any tatical nous would look a youngster to exploit any weakness and put him under pressure from the off to see if he is up to it
simple really

| In SL games since he took over from sharp it's been P 28 W 10 L 18
Appalling stats for me. Take out the 5 wins in a row at the start of this season and it's 5 wins from the other 23 games. 6 home defeats in a row, 2nd bottom last season, not looking good this season. I believe the players we have are capable of far better and he is undoubtedly the problem

| Do you know what Sharpe's stats were whilst at Hull? It'd be interesting to compare.
That's worse than I thought that they would be, though.

Doesnt matter how many he won in a row, they all still count for 2 points.

| ah hah! a new day new anti-agar post congratulations old chap.
Now you've started your crusade do you want hull to start winning or do you want them to lose to validate your point of view???
And no I am not happy with current results but I am not sure that a personal vendetta againt the coach is the best way forward.
