That Agar thinks that Whiting has only just "played his way in" when you think of the dross that those already "in" have been serving up , is seriously worrying. It makes you really wonder what he sees cos it's very different to what I and most other people see.

When you read what Whiting says he is hopeful of something being finalised soon, so clearly talks have not just been opened. Agar also says that Whiting leaving was 'never an option' so it looks like it was always intended to offer a new deal.

Nope, he was asked about signing Moa on and other deals for next year. Would have been nice for him to bring us some factual info and say that Whitings talks were progressing well etc. Instead we get the usual spin.

Exactly my point.

The Maloney deal will have been done and dusted before the show I think so he could have announced that.

Dont you think the presenter always drives the conversation, almost telling the guests what to say?

Maybe a suggestion for the programme would be for a news update section at the end of the show from Rule.
