I don't think anyone is unhappy about the fact that we beat Rovers. It doesn't magically erase all the (legitimate) concerns many people have about Agar though. As the subject of this thread is 'Agar', I don't see the problem with pointing that out.

Aye , Good win for the lads , Just a shame about the news mid week.

I think it's petty that people would rather comment on our coach's facial expressions rather then their win, away, with our city rivals.

They can't comment on both?

I'm glad I follow RL for different reasons to you.

Me too Son, you just can't win with some people.
Well done Agar today, brilliant win lads.

How do you know my reasons for supporting RL? I haven't commented on Agar's facial expressions personally, but I don't have a problem with others doing so particularly. And I don't see how making such a comment can detract from enjoying the win either.

Perhaps if you took five minutes off from patting yourself on the back about what a great supporter you are, you'd realise that other people have different views and that they're not automatically wrong.

There was a large element of fortune in our win today but overall we deserved it because for once we seemed to want it more than Rovers. Of course we should celebrate because it's our first derby win in four, but if anyone thinks today's result negates the genuine major concerns that a lot of fans have over our coach then they are living in a dream world.

If Agar can somehow find a way to get our battered and exhausted troops to a victory over Wire on Monday then he will have done something towards answering his critics.

For once we did actually out-enthuse rovers and we would have lost this game last season for sure. I have been sat after recent derby games not only dejected at the result but utterly Peed off at the fact that they seemed to have more desire and have more spirit.

So it is a tentative step in the right direction but how much that is down to the Coach or how much it is down to the proven, big-game players we have brought in this season remains to be seen. The big dissapointment is that if we had shown an ounce of the pride in defending our line in all other games this season we would have only lost 1 game thus far.

I dont have any expectations for Monday as they will have had a less intense time of it today, especially in the pack and they are also a side who can score points freely and if we give as much field position and ball to them as we did rovers today they will hammer us.

On a lighter note tho your avatar has given me the impetus to get my Sopranos box set out again and watch it all over again......................as soon as i have watched the game one last time

Thought the way Cockayne dropped his elbpw into his face was an utter disgrace, the RFL should be looking at that.

Think I would have lamped him one aswell, saying that I agree he needs to channel his aggression in the right places.

I think you've got it all out of context here pal, he was trying to say that other's do have different views, also trying to point out that certain people on here are having a go at the most trivial things possible - like Agar's facial expressions.
He was not 'patting himself on the back' at all, but yes, he is a great supporter like most of us (I can vouch for that as he's my lad) and I can't see anywhere where he's mentioning that anyone's automatically wrong.
Think you've got this a little out of kilter mate.

Not a thread on "Wire next up".

Shame on you

just a thought but do you think either leeds or bradford would swap us for the start we have made . i await the usual barage
