Just like Mason was saying he'll make a decision by the end of the week (for about 4 weeks!!!)

| Quote ="thehullwhitestar"Surely whether they strengthen us or not, would be dependent on who they are wouldn't it ?
Ewan Dowes and and no-mark Aussie utility back who nobody wants, for instance, wouldn't strengthen us at all IMO.
I agree that with the lack of quality players now available and the weaknesses in our squad, Agar is going to have to pull off a couple of very good signings which doesn't look at all possible. In those circumstances, it is fair to question how competitive we can be next season.'"
So would you sign Dobson then?? As this is exactly what he is (barring the utility, but that's not necessarily what we're looking for).... I'll trust Agar with his signings, if there's something he's got it's a fatastic knowledge of rugby league and talent spotting!!

Pity that doesn't spill over into coaching and developing and implimenting game-plans then.
Why don't we offer him Mel Harman's old job?

Maguire was unproven, his plus point was he had worked under arguably the best coach around in Bellamy but he was a gamble.
Brown had a great squad at St George and constantly failed to deliver.
If we had sined either of those fans would not have been happy as they would not have appeared as a top class coach at the point of signing them.

Stop talking complete and utter sense please Paul.
It won't wash on here.

Quote ="Ewwenorfolk"
I reckon he is a great assistant coach (from what i've read and heard) but not a head coach. His tactics have been no existant most of the time, he doesn't know how and when to use interchanges, and his bench selections have been baffling. Never dropped players who were underperforming, yet sometimes dropped players who had been playing well. (He dropped Danny Addy, a young 18 year old playing out of position, who had won MoM in our last 2 games).
Although he has done alot of great work with the youngsters, he'd always rather throw in a player out of position than put a young player in his preferred position.'"
and I got a feeling I had read/had those thoughts myself.

the problem was mate, it wasn't "a" poll, on the same morning you started about 5 of the buggers.
And, as was said at the time, polls are a waste of time, effort and board space.

I've never quizzed him on RL but don't doubt he'll know something bearing in mind his background , family etc but where does this talent spotting credit come from? Have I missed some? There's the Briscoe boys , was Lyne one of his? Who else? And if anyone says Fitz , O'meley , Long etc then , please a blind man could "spot" them. I can't think of any other untried players that have come into the club under Agar and gone on to be a good standard regular SL player. Got to admit that I didn't follow his career before FC , did he discover lots of new talent then?

A poll tells you nothing, fans from any club can vote plus there are loads of options that you list never included. If you want a different coach tell me who you want and why?

| We need to make a final - if we don't then the coach needs to be replaced because he will definitely have had a fair crack of the whip by then.
If Long and Horne can start most of the games together (did they start 6 including league and play-off together? Not sure how many of those they finished together) that will help
We need a winger who plays more that 3 games as well - that will help
And a better-disciplined Tansey - that will help

| The squad is not complete yet and projecting anything with a full squad has proved near impossible in recent years.
As it stands at the moment they would maybe make eight, they need a quality centre and half back cover as a matter of urgency. I think we need a look at the forwards as well, the balance is not right for me to many battering rams and not enough ball handlers or is it people to run with them !

Sam Moa's one of his too, suggested to him by Manu I think. He's certainly worked out well though.

Forgot about Sam but then again it's taken Agar some time to become convinced , longer than most fans at any rate.

You mean at York? Think it was Agar who signed him for them. Kear brought him to us though.
