I really dont like it when a coach points the finger squarely at the players whist at the same time doesnt mention mistakes with coaching and coaching decisions at all. One, because inevitably there will always be improvement to address in the coaching team and two, because by putting his hand up to mistakes too it can have a positive outcome of further bringing the group together and strengthening trust.

I think he did get the team selection wrong but that team should have been more than capable of beating HKR. The half's were awful Myler's only real contribution was his defence. Eastmond is at this moment a total passenger. It will be interesting to see what team Agar selects for Huddersfield.

Leadership, that’s what you are describing. Admitting mistakes and showing vulnerability can be very powerful for the group.

Absolutely, sadly lacking in not just coaching; teaching, parenting, business, never look inwards but happily point the finger completely missing the opportunity to connect.

Absolutely they should have been. My feelings on this are much wider in the game, I think theres some pretty average (over) coaching that lacks a dynamic approach that doesnt set players up to be their best.

Bobbsy do you not think the effort shown, with badly depleted teams, against Cas, Saints and Wigan was pretty decent? Fridays performance against KRnt wasnt acceptable i think we would all agree on that including the coaching staff and players but to be calling for the coach's head when hes done a pretty solid job in a short space of time after taking over a complete mess does seem a bit knee jerk in truth.

I do believe we are in a much healthier position than when he took over. We are still without some big players in Gale and Tetevano who should both return shortly. Wouldnt you agree its too early to panic?

There we go. Another buzz word on here 'panic'. To critisize and look to debate possible ways of improvement on here is 'panic'. Again kills debate......

What word should be used to call for the sacking of a coach after 1 bad performance? I was also referring to it as the club shouldnt panic not the poster.

It only kills a debate if the person calling for the sacking has zero response back surely? I ask again, but to you this time, did you not find the effort shown by badly depleted teams against Cas, Saints and Wigan as acceptable?

After those two other defeats you had you mean?

I know you guys have on the whole been quite happy with what Agar has done since he joined you, but I will never be convinced that he is a good coach. He isn't the answer for you.

Yeah we know that. It was only ever a short term plan when we were desperate.
We wouldn't need to sack him either as he'd happily go back to director of rugby or whatever he was before. The bigger problem is the lack of fitness and quality in the squad. Without an in form Gale we are clueless...
