agar is clueless. The players we have are nowhere near as bad as our results suggest. the style of play is absolute garbage. One man rugby. no one looking to support the man with the ball, no one moving off the ball. kicking game shiite. The man is a joke as a SL coach and the addition of the players who we've signed for next season will make no difference whatsoever

They will because he will be able to play to his strengths (within the squad, like he is this year by playing it in the forwards), we have no half backs, how do you expect him to coach inventive attacking rugby when he hasn't got the personnel to do that.

can Kath not sneakily change the words 'Leeds Rhinos' to 'HullFC' in the contract in Gary's briefcase

Morgan is miles better than Agar in every area, better tactics, recruitment, speaks better to the media..

I expect him to get the best out of what he's got and he's miles away from doing it. If sean long had of swapped sides tonight it would have made no difference whatsoever. fitzgibbon, tansey and kite may have made the game a little closer but we'd still have been well beaten by a side who looked 100 miles an hour faster than us in every facet of the game. Now if you think changing 4 or 5 players is going to change that then you're deluding yourself

The syle of rugby is poor. I can't stand media whore Morgan, but he gets the best out of his players. We seem to struggle at that.
Agar has one year on his contract after this year. Can't see him going anywhere just yet. The pressure will be on him next year though.
His team, his style of play. I reckon he'll be judged next year.
We've seen what Tony Smith has done, with the same set of players that James Lowes had at Warrington though. A good coach goes a long way................

exactly, you didn't see Wire messing about 'waiting for next year' they acted swiftly, and spent money where it was needed.

It's not just the 4 or 5 players thing though, he'll have a leader, organiser and inventor on the pitch next season and he'll have had 4 months (minimum) of him working with the squad. I've been one of Agars loudest critics but he's had nothing to work with.

Can people who have been tonight comment on this thread or is it just for the armchair fans ?
