Lots of teams look better on paper, Hull and Leeds are 2 of them, but injuries will have the biggest impact on how a team performs, and the teams with the least injuries will probably but the teams at the top.

Hull look a darn site better on paper than we do and it will take a monumental effort from us tommorow as i feel they will be too strong , too quick and too skillfull , yes we will be better than last year but still not a top 4 side . Those positions will be filled by Saints , Hull , Wire and Wigan probably in that order

Think some people are massively over estimateing Hull, people making out they are major total contenders, rather than perpetual under achicivers. Radford will not see the season out if or when they inevitably hit one of their slumps, think they are 5 placed side at very best, yes they have been on the spend and packed the side with big Pacific Islanders, but have a crap coach and too many tantrum players with egos and attitudes.

They may win tomorrow but if they do it won't be the easy win some of our so called fans are willing for.

Leeds by 6

My guess is that Agar will be gone before Radford. Agar and Webster what winning credentials have they got?

Or is that just what you are hoping for, you are you one of those people who thinks we should of and could of pulled out the next über coach from the NRL from out of Nowhere.
Agar might not be a truly great coach but is a steady Eddie and we need that for the next year or two. Radford has had plenty of chances and plenty of money to throw around for a number of years now and as got nowhere near a grand final winning side, anything less than top 3 and a grand final or challenge cup and he will be gone for next year. Unlike Agar who will not be under the same pressure and will be safe for this year minimum, if and when a better option comes along he may get moved upstairs, but I suspect he will over see succession from within, Rob may have been the natural successor in a year or two, but Has a more important battle to worry about.

Ps there are currently only about 3 coaches in super league that have won trophies and the most successful one is our former coach, so what's your point

Agar won’t be gone no matter what. He will be back in his appointed position, once the other is qualified. This ruse I stated on here last June, when people were speculating on Furners replacement.

What would be the point in that though. Just a face to make the fans happy? If Agars still pulling the strings in the back ground its a waste of time? Cant see it to be honest be another 2 coaches before that happens. Ive read its Kevs long term view to have the head coach come from within but for me JJB needs to earn his stripes and manage his own team to gain experience and im sure Jamie would want to coach on his own terms not be managed by Agar and Kev?

Appreciate all that. I was just commenting on how long it would take to attend the relevant courses. Unless by qualified you meant experienced. Incidentally, listening to chev walkers recent interviews he seems miles off, doesnt fill me with any confidence at all.
