9th place and runners up to Saints in the Cup? whoopee do a whole 2 places ahead of where Agar took us to last season and he has a far better squad

8th Actually

You're just being facetious

you know perfectly well the point I'm making. And Smith didn't even need to sign all the players himself to achieve it.



Tony Smith: Great coach

Agar: Worst coach in SL



It makes a difference to how a team performs.

He's got the 'penalty machine' doing his job and not giving away penalties, he's got a hooker that 'wanted' to play scrum half back in his best position at hooker.

He's got my hero 'Mozza' leading by example, he's got their 'talisman' back into the game, he's got our old prop playing like he never has.

He's got them playing FOR EACH OTHER which has brought out and enhanced the latent talent of each and every one in his team.



Pretty much fits the job description of a good coach, IMO







And what have we got..............................

Nail on the head

im not saying agar will be a great coach,but he s only been in charge just over a year.in smiths first year of coaching huddersfield,they where relegated.he then started bringing in new signings,picked his own men and huddersfield where soon back in super league.

Wrong.

Agar has been in charge for a year too long. Smith got relegated with a team worse than Celtic are now, however much the ostriches around here like to blame the players, we have a squad ten times better than that Huddersfield side. Nothing Agar has done since he took charge has shown the slightest sign that he is capable of coaching at this level, the man is an embarrassment to our club.

most of this squad are distinctly average.if a new coach took over tomorrow 60% of them would be on there way.

Last season and this season, had there been relegation we would have been in a dog fight to stave it off. Having survived that first 'dog fight' you would have thought the employers would have been looking for reasons to terminate his contract.

Now we are in a 'hypothetical relegation dog fight' yet again, it really does throw a great deal of doubt over the boards wisdom in retaining a coach with (injuries aside) such inept skills, not only as coach but also his whole persona comes across as 'a small boy in a big boys playground', and really doesn't promote our great club to the level it historically derserves.

Or playing to their best potential, thats what a coache's job is, it's not about the the Lou and Andy mentallity of 'I dont want that one, I want that one'
