What do we even need a DoR for? Again I don’t believe all these complex set ups always help the team that much. Too many cooks and all….
For the love of God, please not Agar if we really have to have one…..

Hetherington has repeatedly said he doesn't want to do the DOR bit any more so there is a vacancy there. It's not something Smith should be doing.

The identifying talent and talking people into coming to Leeds bit Agar would probably be very good at. No idea about the assessment of how people on the coaching team are performing but probably fine at that too. The difficult bit is in trying to replicate Hetherington's contract negotiating skills.

Agar would probably be fine in those roles. Just needs to keep out of the coaching side.....

What makes you think Agar would be good at identifying talent ?
Just interested to know. I thought quite he opposite whilst he was coach, and no evidence to support this at any of the other globe he’s been at…..?

Not right fit for Leeds. Think best he looks for a new challenge, and not just taking easy option. I’m telling you now, we are going nowhere with Agar as DoR!

I think Agar's position is compromised by his failure with the playing squad. If you look at someone like Shaun Wane, they will command the respect of the playing group, which will be reflected in retention and recruitment negotiations. I always worried that the players saw Agar too much as a friend and nice bloke. For me, he can't do it now.

Personally, I'd take TS in a heartbeat. He's a visionary of the game, and is more qualified that Sinny was for the role IMO. Plus, at his age, he might want something more steady than a head coach role.

Smith has pretty much confirmed he's not interested in such a role now hasn't he?

If Agar does get D o R after what’s just happened under his tutelage, that could be final straw for me…..
