Don’t know what they said but you can’t’kick’ the ball with your heal, it’s not classed as a kick if you do.

And you are not allowed to dislodge the ball with the knee which they did against Walker.
Like I said previously its straw clutching but at least 2 should not have counted and Agar could be the coach we`ve been looking for!!

Doesn't really matter now but if a knee dislodges the ball, how is that different to a shoulder, say?
Providing of course that the knee hits ball and not player.

Because you cant tackle a player on the floor leading with the knees

Agar saying he sensed what was about to happen after the team left the changing rooms for the 2nd half is a concern at only 1 score down. A large part of his role is to motivate and build confidence. I really don't know what that quote from Agar says about the players or him.

Was thinking about that, been trying to see a different interpretation than what it sounds like, because what it sounds like isnt a good look.
I would 100% put it on the players myself, they shouldnt need motivating in that situation, 2nd game of the season, big match, unlucky to be 6 points down....Id be looking for the coaches to offer some technical input, but at the bare minimum id expect the players to be absolutely raring to go through there own motivation.

Re: SL RD 2 | Wigan Warriors (A) : Sat Feb 19, 2022 7:51 pm  

If what Agar is saying is some players lacked motivation. Then I would have given them 10 minutes to see how they performed and if the player(s) hadn`t got stuck in I would have subbed them.
What we don`t want is a lack of team spirit.
Makes you wonder if the player in question was Sezer taking into account what Wilkin said and how he played.
Bit worrying after the same thing happened with Luke Gale!!

I`m really speculating now (good to see Ant and Dec back on our screens).
Maybe 2 pretty decent half backs don`t buy into Agars coaching.
Just a thought.

We’re well into the realms of vastly overthinking things i think.

Re: SL RD 2 | Wigan Warriors (A) : Sat Feb 19, 2022 8:05 pm  

Just think we were too beaten up after last week to win this one. Some poor coaching decisions by sound of it, but we’d still have lost.
