Maybe I am being naive, but we have definately improved this season (not league position wise I know), we are one of only 3 teams not to have conceeded 40 points or more in a game. We won a few games last year by a few points and finished in 6th and was one game away from fourth (which I felt with the rugby we played last year would of been a false position). Dependant on next weeks results could even end up higher.
We are probably playing some of the best rugby we have played since Mcrae was here and have been fairly strong defensively all year, just in some games not having enough of both, usually against the top teams which is of course a worry.
Maybe Agar is begining to learn his trade and is starting to learn from his mistakes. What has gone before is irrelevant if we go on to be a major force in Super League, with Agar as coach. Does any one remember how close Ferguson was to losing his job at MU and look how that turned out(unfortunately).
I can't believe that if we push Wire next week and then put in a strong showing in the play offs, people still want shut of Agar.
Its like they've already made there mind up and are sticking their fingers in their ears saying "I'm not listening".

If we lose easily to Wire next week and fail miserably in the play offs, then I think we all know what Agars fate should be.

But he hasn't yet, so keep the faith.

Rant over.

Completely agree we will finish 8th.

Interesting, but the Fergie example was not the best, he wasn't given a lifetime to get things right (it feels that way), Agars relationship with the previous owners is dodgy at best, the start of this season was enough to be sacked end of story.

Apart from Catalans who don't travel well we have beaten teams on the slide or very poor sides.

Look at July and how we performed then feel so optimistic cause I don't we are an very average side.

Maybe so but surely we should be optimistic about next week having already hammered Wire at their place ?

The shackles are off in more ways than one, but as much as i like Rich i dont feel he can take us to the next level.

One of the most important things a coach and club needs are the fanbase behind them and even if we won the GF he still wouldnt get this.

He has done some good things here (rarely acknowledged) but we cannot hold these sentiments

much better having one account like you and putting all the in one go

You mean the Catalans team that has beaten Wigan, Warrington and Hull KR away from home? They've won as many away as they have at home and they have one more away game left.

Yep that's the one- the team who's won 1 of there last 5 games

Truthfully? no.

If Wire lose to the Pies then yes we may beat them, but if they have to come to our place to win the title i'm 80% sure we will lose.

Whatever happens I hope Leeds beat Hudds otherwise we will be out of the play offs at the first hurdle, Hudds we might win due to there average form but i'm not hopeful.

So they're on the slide? Not poor travellers? Or is beating the top 2 teams away from home representative of poor travellers .

If Hudds beat Quins today it doesn't make any difference what the result of Hudds v Leeds, last game of the season is. Hudds will be top 4.

It'll be Leeds or the French for us.

Yes, but to call a team 'poor travellers' when they've won as many away game as home games, with one away game reminaing is odd.

No worries
