| Quote Suzie="Suzie"Like most people I thought the timing of the contract extension was a little premature, I thought the club should have hung on while to see how the team progressed, however if they'd have waited and offered him the extension now I do feel that the decision would have been far better received.
We're in a good position at the minute and most people would have taken 4th at the begining of the season. The performances and the togetherness of the team have improved, some of this is certainly down to players returning from injury but Agar must also get some credit for the turnaround.'"
It was and the fact it came after the shocking Salford defeat didn't help, it would have been much better adter that weekend when we beat Rovers and gave Warrington a good game with lots of players missing.
I also still dont think it should have been a 2 year deal, one year and better timing would have meant not nearly half of the hysterics on here (including me) |

| Quote hullbg="hullbg"Also the fact Webster has taken on the assistant coach job as we started to turn things around is not lost on me either. I am a long way from being a supporter of Agar so will play a wait and see game.'"
Why do all anit-Agar fans do that? When things are going right they always look for another reason as to why rather than give praise to the coach. Yet when things are going wrong it's cut and dried as 100% Agar's fault.
Not having a pop, just an observation. |

I never said it was down to Webster i said the fact was not lost on me. The pro Agar crowd are quick to point out that the winning streak we went on in 06 was down to Agar even though he only took over for 3/4 matches. |

You are right Paul, we are doing well on "Agars watch" my issue is historic (being told the team before the press via text) we are 4th, and that is great with the number of average players we have, credit to Agar. |

| Quote Nobeerineasthull="Nobeerineasthull"I am not an Agar fan nor am I a member of the Agar Out club.
I think it was wrong for him to be given a new contract when he was but nor do I think he should have been sacked when we were having a bad run earlier this season.
There are only two trophies to be won in Rugby League (unless you count the minor premiership - which no-one does). Is any coach who does not win either of those trophies a failure?
What right do we have to win trophies, year in year out? Throughout the Super League era (and long before Agar had anything to do with the club) we have been way, way behind the likes of Saints, Leeds, Wigan and Bradford.
Wigan had a bad few years but now seem to be back. Bradford are clearly on the wane and have been replaced in the top four by Warrington - who have recruited top players over recent years but only now is it starting to pay off.
In the last 5 years we have won the CC and been to the final again and also been in a Grand Final.
Realistically I think all we can reasonably hope for is to be finish in the top 4 and get to a final once every few years and maybe even win something once every few years too.
We need to stop judging ourselves against the achievements of the early 1980s because at the moment I cannot see us picking up trophies with the same frequency as Leeds and Saints have in recent years and that is nothing to do with who coaches us. Many fans will agree that Brian Smith was an excellent coach but we won nothing under his tenure.
Yes our league performances in the last two years were absolutely unacceptable and a more realistic level of what we can and should be achieving is our form in 2005-2007.
We need to accept that Agar is our coach and lets get behind him and the team and lets judge him at the end of the season.'"
If we spend the same on player salaries, why shouldn't we expect to compete with everyone else? |

| Quote Dave K.="Dave K."3 seasons, cant blame Agar for 2008, in fact he came close to getting us the CC.
This is Agar first season with the squad he wanted.'"
That is nonsense IMO, it wasnt like he took over a side that was full of mediocre infact a good few of that squad are still here and are key players ( Yeaman, Horne, Manu, Tickle, Berrigan etc ) he just couldnt motivate them.. Also look at what Nathan Brown did last season and Noble and Mcquire this season, thats a poor excuse in my book |

I'm not sure how much coaching agar actually does? take agar away and with the players we have and the stature and experience they have, they could coach themselves. Backs wise, Long has seen it done it, and twice on a sunday compared to Agar. Forwards wise, OMeley and Fitzgibbon have forgotten more than agar will ever know.
