Me too, there is still a long way to go and agar should be judged on the full season not the 1st 7 games, yes we are having a little wobble but i've seen enough in the first part of the season to suggest we will be top 4. Agar got his tactics wrong against quins and didn't tactically adapt to the conditions(which we probably won't face again this year).
I am a little worried about our prop rotation but i'm willing to give agar benefit of doubt for the time being. Although the players themselves should be telling agar if they need more of a rest during games!

Yup.

I count myself as pretty firmly in the 'Agar-sceptic' camp, but this is not the game to be resting players. Our only realistic chance of silverware this season is the CC, and underestimating Salford could end that chance at the first hurdle.

He's got himself in something of a corner with his odd bench selections and lack of prop rotation in the last 7 games, but this is not the game to try and fix that problem. We need to just be focused on winning and nothing else.

That for me Kosh is the crux of the matter.
We shouldn't need to rest players at this stage of the season (unless there's injury concerns), just manage their fitness/energy levels better.

IMO of course.

Like Sam Moa?

Disagree there Kosh, we should be aiming for more than being a 'Kear team' and targetting the CC.

Our next two games are more important and ones were we need players fully fit , so resting today would have been a better option for me

money shot

I can well see your point, but it's the only trophy we stand a chance of winning. Is seventh and a CC win better than fifth and no CC win?

Depends were you go on from that 5th spot
