So if they have under performed for their recent club because of your reason stated, will his form likely improve in playing for FC under what you call an 'inexperienced' manager?

Good point.......maybe Agar may learn from his mistakes this year and be better for it in 2010...maybe he wont be...he has added some class and experience next season which may swing it for him....if not...then i hope we say bye bye.

We'll have to wait and see!!

Agar has brought in his players now, so he will be under pressure to deliver.

His contract runs out in 2010 - at the same time,a handful of proven NRL
Manager's contracts are up for renewal.

However, Sean Long, will probably be the attack coach,just as he is now at St Helens, which may a mean a stay of execution for Agar.

My gut feeling, is that Agar is not the right man for the job!!!

Good stuff.

Right on both counts.

Agree, guess we will find that out next season though when we suffer again.

He has had a knee clean out and a cartledge trimmed nothing more. He has a broken bone in his hand which would have kept him out for 6 weeks and his current club has allowed him to bring his leaving forward to allow him to have the clean out and get an earlier start to his visa application.

The last bit sounds like pro-active planning on our part. I need to go for a lie-down.

I hope that the fact that it is Agar who has brought them in and not previous incumbents is key. It will be interesting to see who is cleared out. I think that might tell us more about Agar than we've been able to ascertain whilst he's been trying to field makeshift teams from his injury-ravaged squad. So he will have a squad that is rid of who he considers to be "deadwood" (don't like using that term but you know what I mean), keeps the players he rates and is bolstered by his signings. My hope is that he is the right man for the job. I'd love to see a relatively young British coach doing well in SL (especially for us). After that, if FC do poorly, then it must be down to him.

oops - that was me. Didn't know there were any rules about YouTube. Just read them in case something had been added - couldn't find anything.

Won't happen again anway.

Think I've found it - 1.2.b

I havent read all 24 pages of this one so dont know if this has been mentioned before,apolgies if it has but does anyone remember the GB vs Aus game a few years back when Fitzgibbon and Sculthorpe started scrapping and Omeley came charging in slinging punches everywhere !!

I know its not clever kids and I dont condone violence but I think its good to have a few players in your side with a bit of niggle in em !!!

Cheers mate.
