Poaching doesn't offer a lot from what I've heard. His input apparently stops at laying the cones out.

I thought Richard Marshall was the next best thing in rugby league . Is there any truth in the rumour that Poaching & Marshall are leaving or is it a made up fact ?

Given Jimmy Lowes was his asistant for a period, perhaps I am.

Don't say I didn't tell you first. Just announced that Agar is assistant and Poaching and Marshall are moving on!!

it can't be a made up fact?
it either made up or it isn't.
and it isn't.
just been announced.

Smith extended to 2016
Agar until to 2017

looks like a bedding in period for Agar to take the most coveted job in SL.

Both their contracts expire November 2016. Smith 1 year extension, Agar 2 years from November. So I wouldn't say it's "nailed on" that's the way we're going.

I guess over the next two years Smith will slowly fade into the background. An interesting choice but willing to give him a go.

You didn't tell us first. Strangely enough the person that started the thread entitled 'Agar to Wire' was the first to tell everyone. But don't let that stop you, perhaps you could tell us who is going to win the 2013 Epsom Derby.

dont you feel a bit silly now ??

That's correct Winslade but I added the specific about poaching and Marshall. Yet to be announced Monas will be a assistant 1st team coach.

Give it a rest RD. So you guessed correctly, so what. There is nothing worse than someone blowing smoke up their own a**e because something that they said was correct.

Wow, so we've got TS for another 2 & 1/2 seasons. That's as good as we could have hoped for.

Jesus don't be giving him more reason to respond, he makes enough posts on each thread as it is,think he is in a rush to have member under his name and he is me thinking he already his one

Actually thats his one and only strength. He can spot a player. He just then plays them wrong and demotivates the feck out of em!

I think you've made a good move.
Agar will be good at Warrington.

Yes, In your gift shop

I agree, his recruitment at Hull was pretty good, unfortunately just about every other area of his coaching was poor.

I can't believe he keeps getting jobs in SL.

I guess all the Hull and Wakey fans laughing at us will be snapping our hands off to take Richard Marshall and Willie Poaching........?

I suppose we could do a Salford and take an inexperienced assistant coach to become our head coach...?

To be honest I'd rather have an experienced head coach as an assistant,and the fact hes been at two of the biggest basket case clubs (no offense to the Fans) in the league in recent times shows his character, he has remained dignified at all times, and personally i liked that.
He never sounded clueless in interviews unlike say a vievers or certainly a radford.

like I said in my earlier post..... as an assistant no problem....Head coach not now....i'd be a bit perplexed.

If Monas is also Joining the coaching staff i'd be over the moon. Id rather it be Monas than Briers any day of the week.

being shot down for posting something before the fact I will except and I'm prepared to be dammed as I have been many times, but shooting me down after the fact?
Your post looks rather silly, read it again and perhaps edit it again.

I'm with FB. Tony Smith until the end of 2016 is a great boost.

As for Agar? I'll take Smiths opinions & views.

Oh well, having "lived" through the Anderson/Plange, Dorahy/Murphy & Lowes periods ( if that is the current term in rugby terms, it actually felt like death ) I don't suppose the appointment of Agar is a nostradamus-like glimpse of impending doom, but I'm going to take some convincing.

I just hope the players are a bit more positive about the news than us.

I remember in 2012 getting the train from Hull to Wakey and getting talking to a trin fan, who I shared a taxi to Belle Vue with.

This bloke was pally with Agar and every week played squash with him and Smith, with Warrington players often coming along. So I guess they are already well acquainted.

He's not the head coach, so that's fine with me.

I guess also being a Roosters fan and having to endure McBanana as assistant to Trent, I guess it wouldn't be the norm without someone of his ilk becoming assistant at Warrington.

You mentioned the name Anderson and I got the shakes as I read it. Agar didn't do all that well at Hull, but then again, neither has anyone else apart from john Kear in the past 15 years. I think their problems go far deeper than the coach. Many have tried, most have failed miserably. He built a reasonable side at Wakefield and it wasn't his fault they kept doing their best to go bust. I'll go with Smith's judgement.
