I agree with your first point. Although I suspect their expectations of where we will be in playing terms in 2 years time will either be realistic based on evidence of Agar's influence so far and therefore disappointing (scrapping for a low play-off place), or deluded if they claim we'll be better than that, particularly if the intention includes such gems as using a quota spot on a 2 year deal for Galea.

On the PR machine point, the purpose it is to manufacture a feelgood factor and sell season tickets and merchandise. Pretty much a good job done there. Given the reality vs the spin, though, they'll have a job to replicate this later this year.

Thanks to all those who supported Agar like me for the last games, 2 excellent wins especially considering how many players we had out, 4th!!!!! what a brilliant position to be in after last season

2 excellent wins against very poor opposition i should hope we are beating a Catalan side who have managed just 2 league wins all season and a Cas side who have just lost a player in a key position.

You seem almost disappointed that we won

We beat Cats comfortably and the scoreline flattered them as it did Cas today.

We have lost 3 matches against poor teams (Crusaders, Salford and Quins) so surely the last two matches represent an improvement?

I will take a bad win anytime over a loss, I am over the moon we have now moved 4 points clear of the other lot and that is alright for me.

If we won by 1 point I would be happy 2 points is 2 points.

Some folks seem dissapointed we won. Agar got em up for it, we came out fired up and played well, then by the players own faults they drifted away from the game plan and made some stupid mistakes. Agar got them in the dressing room and they came out back on focus and turned it round in ten minutes. The score flattered Cas, we played well for about 55 minutes. I have been the first to complain about Agar, but not this week, in my opinion he did little wrong. Except when the team itself got a bit 'heady' we nullified their attack and beat them in the forwards. I would have accepted 4th this week after that game at Murryfield. Agar won't be going anyway soon, so we might as well get behind the team.

I'll be complaining about him in the future there is no doubt but this week Its a bit harsh in my oppinion.

No doubt about it. Some definitely want our club to fail.
It's bordering on the PATHETIC.

I feel for their wives, cos if they winge and moan at home, like they do on here........................................................................................................................................................................................................

Of course they are. Amazing isn't it ?

The OP reported about the confidence the players seem to have in Agar. What would they think if they saw supporters wearing "Agar out" shirts? I am not Agar's biggest fan and I certainly think it was wrong to extend his contract so early in the season. However it looks like he is going to be around for the forseeable future so we have to get behind the team and the coach.

Over half way through the season and we are 4th, could easily be 7th and we might be in two weeks time but he has us challenging in the right area of the table and with players coming back to fitness then so far he is doing what he was asked to do.

Avatar duely changed.

Agar still has a lot of work to do to convince me, but for now at least I'm behind him and the team.

Respect.

Or just fickle?

Still, since we beat Catalans and Cas I guess we could yet have Rugby League's answer to Alex Ferguson on our hands
