Not being funny, but how has a club the size of Leeds got Agar as its coach?
I thought he was very lucky to get the Wakey gig when he left us (Hull).

i wonder why you didnt say that last week or the week before

Amazed by the comments saying agar is no good and should be out. Don't get me wrong he ballsed it up tonight but Leeds have been much improved recently. Sounded like Mondays review will be interesting from the interview

First game in a while, I understand that completely, but I thought Richie Myler's contribution was two tackles last night. Summed up by him gobbin off to the ref, he can stop that immediately. Thats certainly not summat we want to see from a Leeds player.

Didn’t watch the game thankfully but from what I’ve read and Agars interview I missed a woeful effort. He’s seething.

Season nearly over imo if we lose to hudds next week

Obviously an over reaction to be calling for Agars head, but some of the coaching decisions last night were not good enough.
We have a talented young kid who’s done well standing in at FB and we have two wingers that are just not good enough.
Our best winger (and one of the best in SL) comes back from injury and we play him at FB and put Broadbent on the bench!!!
And I’ve said it before, but Martin needs a rest. He’s clearly not fit and carrying effects of Covid.
Again, we have a talented back row who has played well and he gets dropped.
If Martin is about goal kicking, then it’s irrelevant if you don’t look like scoring tries!!!
What message are we sending to Walters and Broadbent?

Does this make sense to anyone or not??? Cos I cant understand why it never happens.

If our aim on the last when we are attacking is to not kick it in fear of it going dead and giving a tap 20 7 tackle set to our opponents then rather than taking a tackle and handing it over for a 6 tackle set why not play the ball and the hooker instead of picking it up just kicks it 5 yards sidewards . I guarantee the opposition will dive on it and its then tackle 1 where we would normally hand it over anyway.

The normal tackle 1 would then be tackle 2 etc and the opposition should then be kicking on their last further back than they are now.

If the plan is to make opponents bring it away from their own line give them less tackles to do it and mount pressure that way.

Unconventional but good point and better than what they're currently 'attempting'

Can't see us getting a result against Hudds. Going to be freaky hard to turn that shambles around in a week....
Must be really unfit squad to be 'tired' this Earthy into season.

Re: RD 4 | Hull Kingston Rovers (A) : Sat Apr 24, 2021 6:43 am  

Had a feeling we'd go with Handley at fullback so while its a poor call imo, it wasnt suprising, long term, i do worry what our coaching team are seeing in Handley to think he's an option there.

What i was more interested in seeing last night, was which one of Broadbent or Suttcliffe started at Centre, that selection was the more dissapointing one to me, Broadbents so much better than Suttcliffe at centre.

Re: RD 4 | Hull Kingston Rovers (A) : Sat Apr 24, 2021 7:31 am  

Jack is still young, a week on bench here, a week out there will benefit him long term. Playing every week will harm him long term. Same, and probably even more so with Walters.

Got to gradual with these kids.
