Well if there is no appointment in the next two or three games let's see if Agar gets a new coach bounce out of the players. After all that's being said about Furner wanting a number of them out. I would think if they have any pride they should be busting a gut to get on the field to prove him wrong

Well considering we are playing a championship team this week, there is hardly any excuses for that one is there?

But aren't we constantly told the good coaches in SL get average payers playing above their capability, Chester, Watson and Powell all are praised for making a team better than the sum of their parts, by that line of thinking if Furner was a good coach we would have seen some improvement from last year, especially as we have added a bit of quality from the NRL.

Couldnt agree more

Adding 2 Marquee signings this year to our squad is akin to planting two prize rose bushes in a field full of weeds and expecting the Chelsea Flower Show!

But Sir Kev has previously said the same before and after the season started so I can’t see getting rid of Furner is going to change the mind sets of those players on the ‘no longer wanted’ list.

So Watkins and Hall were on more than 150K ? and Sir Kev was wrong when he said we had not had Marquee players before this season ?

Where has Sinfield named players he wanted to move on?

Yes, and Yes, if you want to put it like that. Or you can simply look at it for what it is, a play on words. It is the first time we have Marquee overseas players, it isn't the first time we have used the Marquee player rule on the cap, or at least according to Hetherington previously it wasn't.

From what I recall Pete Smith wrote an article in the YEP very early on in the season, possibly even pre-season with a list of players that it was understood from Sir Kev were available for immediate release if they could find another club

Players we could all have named liked Walters, Mullalley, Ormondroyd were on it but then there were the likes of Golding, Cuthbo and Parcell, although Cuthbo came out pretty quickly on social media to say he knew nothing of being told he was surplus to requirements.
