| Quote Kosh="Kosh"Sums it up well for me.
The bit about going backwards is the real concern. Poor performances in individual games can happen to the best of sides, but the overall trend is downhill from the opening match at Saints. Given that we have new players 'bedding in' you'd expect the opposite.'"
Probably a sign that the initial euphoria is gone and a team of seasoned players have suddenly realised their coach doesn't know what he's doing
Satrurday was a prime example of poor motivation and lack of direction on the pitch

| Quote downtheante="downtheante"Very sensible imo - if he proves people wrong by success on the field (top 4 finsish and a final appearance) then keep him - if not, we have time to look for a quality replacement.... although where do you find one?'"
Lots of candidates in Australia, I am not saying every coach over there is a good one but we are a big club and should be able to attract a top coach.
The right appointment now cos push on to new heights and turn us into a major force, or we do it on the cheap and carry on as we are.

| If we'd done the right thing in 2004 and appointed a top class coach instead of kear then IMO we'd have won the SL title by now. Even kear won the CC and sharp got us to a final with the remnants of mcrae's team so think what a top caoch could have achieved

| Quote PAUL M="PAUL M"Nope. The thing is though if we win our next two we would be in a very good position. This is why I don't think we should sack him. We are not going to get the type of caoch we want half way through a season. Let Agar see the season out but don't look to renew his contract and start looking now for next season.
Agar is not a bad coach I just don't think he is capable of developing players and moving on to the next level.'"
See the problem for me is that 2 wins disguises the fact that Agar is clueless. I got shot down on here last season when i suggested he should be sacked because i'm concerned more about the manner of our performances than the wins/losses.
I was then willing to give him benefit of doubt this year but we've only actually put in a good performance in 1 game this year v Saints.
Will his tactics (or lack of) and his favouritism to some players i cant see us getting anywhere with him in charge.

| Quote PAUL M="PAUL M"It's simple for me, leave Agar and his team in charge for the season but start looking and sounding people out now for next season. Sacking Agar now would mean we are left with Moore in charge and should he does reasonably well we will then end up keeping him. That would be wrong as I think we need a clean sweep. Promoting assistants is not the way.'"
spot on , no more appointments from within all that does is extend the current / immediate climate of mediocricy within the club as we have seen now through so many appointments!!

I think the win against Huddersfield was probably better than Saints and the win against Bradford may prove to be a very good victory - it was also a game where we played without our stand-out player at the time (Horne) so it made us all feel quite hopeful that we might have found a stand-in with Turner.

| I can fully understand the frustration about the performance on Saturday on here. However, as a general rule in sport, people are too quick to call for the head of the coach. The coach is only one element to a successful team. History will tell you that the most successful teams don’t chop and change their coaches just because of a bad run of form. In fact changing the coaches frequently seems to have a detrimental effect on a team’s ability to have continued success. Consistency is the key to a successful team and given it can take at least a season or two to get ‘your team’ assembled, that is simply impossible if you change the coach each year.
In my opinion it’s only fair to judge Agar starting from this season. It’s a fact that the amount and length of injuries we had over the past two seasons ruined any chance of success. Look at Leeds, three times SL Champions for example this year. Of course the coach will get some decisions wrong every now and again. For example, bench rotation and player selection. For me the blame should be shared equally amongst him and his assistant as well as all the players, particularly the senior ones. In reference to the Salford game, Agar would have given the team a game plan to win but they simply didn’t give themselves a chance to execute it. He didn’t make those incredible amount of handling errors and give away endless amount of penalties. With the amount of extra possession you are giving the other team, even the best sides in the world would struggle with those statistics. It came down to desire and motivation and that is one area Agar needs to improve. However, players have only 80 mins out of an entire week to be motivated enough to play at an intense level. Even if the players don’t play for the coach and don’t have respect for him (which I doubt is the case), they should be professional enough to motivate themselves and each other. They should be able to find motivation elsewhere if it’s not forthcoming from Agar. Whether it’s their own reputation that’s at stake, not letting their team mates down, playing for the badge and the fans or even simply the fact they get paid very well to do it! They shouldn’t need the riot act to be read before every game and again at half time just to get up for it. There is also the fact that Moore doesn’t appear to be helping in this area. He needs to stand up and be counted too. Sometimes you need your assistant to “assist” in areas you are not so skilled at, yet nobody seems to look at this.
From what I understand Agar is highly respected by his peers, a true judge of someone’s worth in their position. I think he has improved the team on and off the field this year. Ok we have had some poor away form that needs addressing. Our edge defence on both sides is the biggest concern for me, not the ability of the coach to motivate players who should be doing that themselves anyway.
What isn’t needed is a knee jerk reaction for change as soon as we have a tough patch, something most teams experience throughout a season. Judge him at the end of the season and if it’s still not working then fair enough. I think they will respond against KR and Warrington and silence a few of their critics.

Thats my concern too Dave, As a fan it makes me wonder wether I cold accept us losing the next 4 matches if it finally made them sit up and do the best thing for the club. I shouldn't really be thinking that way but it may be the only thing that works.
