You would have thought that team captain would have been present.


''will be your chance to put questions to first team players Danny Kirmond, Ali Lauitiiti and Paul Aiton plus quiz Head Coach Richard Agar, Chairman Andrew Glover and Chief Executive James Elston on everything that has gone on so far this season both on and off the pitch.''

Guess that Danny is de facto captain

Who was signed before Agar was announced
&

To be fair, I think the club do pay attention to the fans sometimes. Could point to times I wish they'd listened more but that would be churlish when they've arranged this forum

Oh yes don't get me wrong, they certainly do take notice to what's been said and from what I can gather they want to listen when they feel there's unrest from the fans, it's the only way we'll grow tbh.

On certain issues yes, but not team selection - and rightly so.

As Wayne Bennett once put it, "you start listening to the fans you end up sitting with them".

Agar may or may not be the best man for the job but he's more qualified than any of the wanna be know all's who post on here. I don't mean those with an opinion, I ean those who clearly think they have the answer - you know who you are.

The moment Trinity teams are picked and given tactics devised by the lunatic inmates on this forum (myself included) is the day I walk away from WTRLFC and that nightmare scenario.

Re: Fans forum thurs 17th May : Fri May 11, 2012 8:16 am  

I won't be able to attend, am travelling again from Sunday. I would very much like to hear what the club are looking to do to improve safety for all fans and how they intend to deal with abusive and aggressive behaviour from the drunken minority.

If anyone can raise these queries or provide feedback I'd be most interested.

Many thanks.

The problem is that some players were announced after Agar arrived but in reality they must have been a long way through negotiations by the time he signed and he could hardly knock them back as a) there was no one else left b) agreements were probably made whether announced or not.

So hard to say.

That could well be the case. But Agar was being mooted as the coach of choice many weeks before his actual announcement so could also quite conceivably have been directing JE on the players to target, it happens regularly in all sports. Its one of those things that we will never know the true facts on. But I maintain that this bunch of players are, on paper, better than last year and a good coach should be able to get them performing to the best of their ability whther brought him by him or not.
