Rich Agar works part time for the Samaritans and Rich Horne had just been looking on this board?

Yes it struck me as as very odd too.

Presumably Craig Hall doesn't have Agar's number.

He did have but he dropped it. Sorry Craig.

Obviously Agar is feeling under pressure and Horney being a nice lad is trying to help him keep his job.

You laugh but the thought crossed my mind.

I was being serious! A coach getting called up by a player to offer to play somewhere doesnt sound normal and doesnt sound like the coach either knows what he is doing or is in control.

Or maybe because they have worked together for so many years they have formed a friendship enough to chat out of work.

In a valiant attempt to put the alternative viewpoint...

Maybe Agar and the senior players had been discussing options and Horne decided to volunteer after thinking about it for a while?



Still seems odd, mind.

Yup, always an option. I prefer the anti-Agar one though!!

Rich: "Hello boss,We are running out of full backs."
Agar.: "Thought we didn`t need one,thats why we let Briscoe go."
Rich: "Yea,but we ought to have someone back there don`t you think?"
Agar: "Er, do you know who would do it?"
Rich: "I`ll give it a go if you like."
Agar: "What do you think Sharpie?"
Sharp: "Who?.me?....er....."
Agar: "Ah sod it Rich,give it a go,we have nowt to lose."
