Like I have said many times, different sport, different era.
From Kear giving people lifts, to Crooks forgetting to take the balls to training to Agar apparently letting players smoke at training, professionalism has been lacking on the playing side at the club. |

Is that actually still going on? I thought that had been knocked on the head a couple of years ago. |

Sounds like a bizarre code of conduct. Is Gleeson a smoker? Could help to clear things up. |

I guess it depends who you believe, as I've said, I can't get to see them train so I honestly don't know. My brain tells me that even Agar wouldn't be that unprofessional,surely? |

Maybe agar's started smoking since he came under more pressure |

The same Agar that claimed we've had top 8 form? The one regularly known for bringing players on 2 minutes away from half time?
Although I do feel abit sorry for Agar, he's not the best coach - but I think upstairs at the club are more to blame. |

Whilst a number of people on here don't rate him as a coach, I don't hink I've ever read any accusations of Agar being unprofessional. |

I remember the talk about it back in 2008/2009 and I think it was 'confirmed' that it used to go on but that Agar had put a stop to it. I could be wrong though.
TBH I find it hard to understand why any professional sportsman would smoke regardless of the policy at training sessions. |

Neither of those are examples of being unprofessional. |

If you read that article it says "We can see our performances taking the right shape," Agar told the Mail. "The guys are positive and we don't think we are playing like a team who are out of the play-offs at the moment." The reporter cheekily enhanced it to wind you all up.
I think the last few games have been top eight form. We need it to be top four though. |

Lets be honest, you have to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic to become a pro RL player, so them abusing their bodies with smoking, alcohol and other things isn't really hard to understand.
The same reason why they obviously don't think stopping off for a KFC on the way back from a match might not be the best of ideas. |
