Main points..
Signed a two and a half year deal.
No new assistant coach this year, Stuart Dickens to take on more responsiblilty but will be one person down this season.
No real change likely or necessary to team structure on the field.
The difference will be in how he gets his point accross to the players
Looking to re-sign some ooc players and looking at recruiting for next year but difficult given position.
Not just looking to finish 12th, looking to catch Salford and possibly Hull.
Tautai might be fit for London game.'"
First thoughts, 2.5 years is a long time to commit to a bloke in his first real go as a SL head coach (granted it may be as a championship coach next season), secondly, no change likely or necessary to the team structure. Forgive me I didn't realise there was one. I would say this needs more attention then any other area.

and have 2 microphones, one for the 'Question' which at times is muffled and sounds as though it is coming from another room, doesn't sound professional production at all.

2.5 years is bonkers. Must be to ward off the suitors banging his door down. And if he really doesn't think much needs changing then WTF has he been watching

Hope this is not correct, because if so he should have followed agar ![Shoot Poster a026.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//a026.gif)

| We just don't learn do we. Personally I would have given JW until the end of the season, as I would any other untried coach, especially one who has been involved in coaching the garbage I've seen this season.
As for the interview this is very much open to interpretation as to exactly what he means. Whatever terms he uses he clearly has a major job on his hands to motivate the players and get them playing to potential and as a team.
I'll back him and we'll see how it goes, I only hope my fears are proved wrong!

That's how I see it. To give him a 2 and a half year contract straight away was rather surprising to me.
That's not to say he doesn't have my support but this will be either come back to bite us, or be a stroke of
genius. Hope its the latter.

Not with a 2 1/2 year contract in his back pocket he won't and we'll be back to not being able to afford to get rid. I'd have probably gone for 18 months at most. It could have always been extended if successful.

| His radio Leeds interview was much better, 32:23 it begins and he talks about motivating etc. Lets give him a chance, Agar goes and you'd think the moaning would stop - nope not at this club we're never happy. We got what we wanted now lets get down to Belle Vue next friday.

I think we will call give him a chance, just trying to fathom why we felt it sensible to give him 2.5 years

Exactly. Not moaning at his appointment just the length of contract given.
He has my support in full at the moment.

| But if they think they know him already, having worked here, and want him to take the job, then why not?
We don't know what clauses are in there for bonuses or terminations.
It shows faith that they are going to give him a chance. This season is a hanging on season. Any decent coach should have 2 seasons to get things working after that.
He's our coach now. He has my support.

| Not long left to see if he’s his own man , his first selection should be interesting , does he stick with RFAs under performers or stamp his own expectations on the players by having the guts to drop the one or two who aren’t up to the fight . on another point Nosey Parker is reporting the Wizard was sent home from training and told to find another club. To me it’s obvious we need a ball player if only to help DK

| Probably not of any interest to you now but a mate of mine spoke to Agar the other week and asked him about some of the selections he had been making and basically asked him what he hoped to achive with some very strange selections.
His answer was with sammut he needed more space with the ball as he was not getting it in the halfs due to being behind a beaten pack.
Mathers on the wing he said he just needed him in the team, Godinet on the bench he said because the pack was quite weak he just needed any impact he could get so Godinet after 30 mins running at tired blokes was his best bet.
Only time I see wakey is on TV and I think what I have seen I would go with what Agar said, so it will be very interesting to see what webster can change.
Also this is just a guess but i think Dan Smith siging for the Giants could be the reason he was shipped out but that is only a guess.
