To be fair to Agar, he led us into the top 8 in his first season. Not bad, and even more so when it was an entirely new squad just about, all of which bar maybe one or two were brought in before he was.

In his second season, with about 5 games to go, they were there, or there abouts, but, with the debts, some of our players were sold off immediately. I think we finished the season with Cockayne and Liam Kay in the halves.

He started following season the season with a cap spend of something like £1.2m I think I read, and started off ok. For me the wheels fell of when Sammut came in.

For me the 2015 debacle was down to James Webster, pretty much saying by about round 4-5 were looking at middle 8s and MPG. Hardly putting confidence in your squad. He should have walked as soon as he said it for me

I have listened to this and it`s a good interview, but I would not take everything he says as gospel - What he says is the opposite to what I have heard from some of the players he has played under, from what I here John did not exactly help his case by turning up with the wrong attitude and concentrating more on his next night out with the lads but he fails to mention that - For me personally I put it down to sour grapes from an ex employer but who knows.

Exactly what I heard.
Two sides to every story and from what I heard Agar was right to not play him.

We only made the eigjt because Bradford were deducted points. We then crashed out of the play offs straight away.

Re: Furner sacked : Sun May 12, 2019 11:23 am  

And the 7 or 8 wittns on the spin we had were nothing to do with it.

Using that philosophy Wilzay, you could say that we only got into the 8 in 2016, due to Salfords points deduction

When you say crashed out, do you mean we're beaten by the eventual winners when we were actually in the game and had chances to take the lead but Leeds just pulled away at the end when we were chasing the game?
Oh and no one else put that many points on Leeds through those playoffs either.

Merrin are you kidding, he must be the most overrated Aussie prop since Hickey, I personally would stay well clear.

His skills are fine. His attitude and especially his mouthy attitude is well below par.
