Quote: Pookie "But he HASNT had "his" team at all. He has never even had a starting half back pairing for any length of time since been in charge. Did we play boring rugby in the first game of the season against St Helens last year? I dont think so. Listen I am not an Agar apologist - I just want to give the bloke an actual chance. If he has been able to pick from a full strength team like I say 5 or 6 games into this season then thats another thing.
By the way I wouldnt even say people spent time and energy getting behind the players on Friday night - Like I said I thought the support was awful on Friday.'"


There is the reason why the support was awful icon_eek.gif

I really h8 people go on and on about or he has had bad luck with injuries and he doesnt have his playmakers. It isnt the fans fault he couldnt find a quality playmaker when every other team could. We are short in the halfs and he didnt bother getting anyone until he got Obst who good as he is. Isnt going to make us into a grand final winning team.

We have so many 2nd rowers and its a joke and we have lack of cover in more important positions like in the halfs and at fullback and even in the backs ...People might say well obst and phelps will cover those postions but one has just got here and the other isnt on the plane yet the club is clueless how to get a winning product on the field imo.

While fans keep making excuses the Board will keep Agar....He has had plenty of time to get a quality halfback/stand off and has failed.

Quote: berrigans bitch "icon_eek.gif

How many years do you think he should have to get a team together
Maybe even 2 or 3 weeks!!?? As I said how often has he even been able to play his first choice half back pairing? I suggest people look back at the time sheets for the last 3 years and just see how the team has had to change from one week to the other. As for its his "fault" for getting Sean Long as he was too old - well would a younger player not have been injured in the same way as Long last year - they would it was just unlucky. Once Phelps has arrived - even though the Tansey and Berrigan situation may or may not have been out of his control - I would conceed that if fully fit that is the team he built. Like I say I am waiting for 5 or 6 games into the season.

Every coach deals with these issues, Agar signed Horney & Longy, he knew saints would not give Longy 2 yrs yet he chose to do that and has to take responibsility for it.
I am interested to know what you make of Agars interchanges ?

Every coach does have to deal with these issues. However (and I havent gone to the effort to check this) but I would guess that no other club in Super League (by a long shot) has had to change the team week in week out as much as we have due to injuries, people getting sacked etc. etc.
And yes if Horne and Long had managed to play all of last season I think we would have finished much higher in the league. Like I say are you suggesting any other player of any age wouldnt have dislocated their elbow in the same circumstances as Longy in that "tackle"?

And to answer your question - yes I do find some of the interchanges odd but I dont claim to know the excact reasoning behind them, and I personally would have started with Obst on Friday night.

A skilled coach should be able to deal with having players missing.

In any case, as I said to people on Friday, the 17 we had out are all good players. The tactics and motivation are wrong and ultimately that lies with the man off the field.

I hear what you are saying about not having his first choice halfs available due to injury.
However answer this. He knows they are injured in the build up to a game, he knows his 19 players available. I would like to think he knows about the opposisiton (i think i did read once, that he said we dont worry about what the other team is going to do.) So given all this information, you pick players, play to their strengths and develop a game plan suited to the players we have available.
Its clear to me this injury story about injuries is part of the game, you learn to develop and have the ability to adapt. That is where it shows how far out of his depth Agar is

Makes you wonder how the hell McDermott coped on Friday night with 5 1st teamers missing form the starting line up and then losing another 3 during the match!! That's effectively 8 players down yet his team managed to not only beat us but play with some structure and cohesion.

I am not sure whether its because Leeds actually have a plan or the fact that all the clubs players buy into it and understand it!

The one thing that Leeds kept on Friday night though apart from anything else that went wrong was the cohesion of Burrows, Sinfield and Buderus - a cohesion we havent had the luxury of for the last 3 years. Dont get me wrong I thought we had enough to beat Leeds on Friday night and if we seriously want a top 4 place should be doing so at home. It was a bad result. I am merely saying I will judge Agar a few more games into this season and not with what he has had to deal with in the last 3 years.

And a few more games into the season, it will be easy for you to find more excuses for him: Long is injured, Phelps hasn't arrived, Obst needs time to settle etc etc.

The time for excuses is over. He's not the man for the job.

That is what worries people most, one team will lose their franchise this year, and it wont be us, that means the powers that be know we are in the Super League for at least another three years after this, does the investment required reflect what is available to us as a club in terms of prize money.

I fear the club is run wholly as a balance sheet, whilst that is sensible from a business point of view, it doesn't make for ambition.

If the end of 2011 / start of 2012 sees record low pass sales it will force the club into action.

But ask yourself this, what value is it to the people that run the club, they have 10,000 x season passes in the bank, they have the corporates for the season, so in effect they are missing out on occasional income, does that occasional income mean enough to them to pay Agar off and appoint someone else?
