Re: Time for a new coach : Sat Oct 02, 2021 8:31 am  

The man had come in at a difficult time, he steadied the ship so to speak, done very well, but is at the limit of his coaching capabilities.
His game plan for the game last night against Saints was poor. After 6 years of trying to rebuild a team on the cheap, he is not the man to take us forward next season. He needs to be DOR,
Having a number of tickets in the Directors suite, I will not be renewing the seats next season. Simply I cannot find clients who want to come to Headingley to watch Leeds rugby. They don’t enjoy it anymore. While I will pick and choose my games, when I can’t get clients to come for a free evening with a meal and drink, it says a lot to me. Next season I will have a rest and will not renew my table of tickets..
I’ve had over 20 years of corporate entertainment, but these last few years we have lost direction and badly need new ideas

I'll still be going and am already looking forward to it. A quality prop and a solid preseason and we'll go ok.Al ot to look forward to.

With Agar in charge we will challenge for the playoffs again but never reach the GF.
He is at his coaching maximum now.
If Leeds are to become real contenders again we need a more creative coaching set up.
Who could fit the bill?
Haven't a scooby do!

Interesting but on the flip side many people ive spoken to (not corporate granted) have actually got a renewed energy and optimism for what’s to come, we have an outstanding group of youngsters coming through and we look in a good place, last night’s defeat doesn’t negate that

Have a settle half back combination and another prop things maybe totally different. Our younger players will only get better. We are not that far off. Unless we can a significant up grade to Agar I don't see the point in changing coaches.

I've thought about this before replying.
if we can get a significant upgrade on agar then go for it. but it would have to be a top coach. agar, for me would make a brilliant DOR.

Yeah thats impression i get too. Think people can see the future is looking good but its a different thing from it looking good and it being good.

I think the job Agar has done has been very good. Nobody expected us to reach GF this year at full strength and weve been a long way short of that all year. I think Agar has dealt with the adversity, covids, suspensions very well all year.

Re: Time for a new coach : Sat Oct 02, 2021 9:42 am  

he has. he has resurrected this club. you cannot under estimate what he has done.
I'm simply not sure he can take us on from here
