The defensive performances have been inconsistent and, quite frankly, the attacking play is woeful.
The performance against Wigan was, in parts, a carbon copy of last season’s trip to Saints. Some different players, same powder puff tackling! I’m sorry, he’s a nice guy but, not up to this job.
As for who comes in, the club could and should find a suitable replacement, if they have the will to do so. Asking who it should be on here is like asking what kind of Summer we’re going to have.

Peoople probably overrated the playing squad too though. How can we look so short of props already with just one injury at prop (in someone who has been injured more than played), and even with Newman and Fusitua back we still won’t create anything on left edge. The less said about Hookers the better. We had the back lines up to go though Sezer, then Leeming and Dwyer scoot down blind alleys. Literally school boy stuff…..

Only time we looked dangerous was when they scooted out of dh. We don't have the impact in the forwards to create the momentum

The backs would look good behind a dominant pack.

we had enough good position against Catalans to win and conspired to throw the ball away numerous times

One thing I'd like to see is the journalists actually asking Agar hard questions in his press conferences. I know they all want access, but if its at the expense of soft-soap nonsense its a waste of time. It doesn't need to be aggressive, but asking him what he's actually going to do to fix things would seem to be standard. Instead we get 'another hard day Rich?' or throwing him questions which can be used to excuse rubbish without any pressing as to what 'watching the tapes' will achieve that hasn't already happened, why poor-performing players keep getting picked etc.

We want an across the board double - Bielsa out / Agar out !!!

To be fair United are at the point where they had to do something or face the real risk of relegation. We're not at that stage, and we're not at risk of it. The risk for us is another season treading water followed by yet another 'rebuild' next year. All anyone asked for before the season started was a sign we would be much more competitive this season. This is not a season in isolation - its Agar's third full season and we've made plenty of signings during that time but don't seem to be consistently moving forward.

I'm not clamouring for Agar to be sacked today, but I also don't want to see another McDermott-style fiasco where we've got a dead coach walking for far too long. Its up to Agar to sort this out.

My gut feeling is he's too conservative and in some cases blind to self-inflicted selection issues. His comments on Dwyer about sum that up - he keeps picking him despite the fact he has kindergarten standard passing because he might be able to create a gap. Never mind making it almost impossible for the rest of the team to function, just keep hoping Dwyer will 'do something'. Is that coaching??

The equivalent in junior rugby of 'give it to the big kid'. Hope he grabs a couple then we can gloss over how poor the rest of the game was.

Don't watch too many games these days, but I'm having to go back a long way to think of a less attractive Leeds team than this one.
