Well ive questioned his appointment , questioned his ability ,selections basically everything.
Today i hold my hands up he now takes his place amongst messrs Murray & Mcdermott etc.
I still think we need more quality on & off the pitch but today is a great day Gale with the 7 shirt at a time our Legend no7 is in an awful place dropping the killer 1 pointer to a FB the Club didnt want winning the Lance Todd.
Take a bow Richard Agar, Sinfield & Hetherington opinions are like bums everyone has one right or wrong hopefully we grow from this get the young lads intergrated & sign more quality.
Well played & thank you.
FOR ROB 7.

seems to have rebuilt spirit without being a demonstrative person like muzz and mclennan but interviews better than mcdermott and smith

You can see hes got the respect of the players and it showed the opposite with Furner

It was a bit tight today. Better to be lucky than good. I think Cuthbo got the nod over Holroyd for experience, but there might also be an element of thanks for everything, this is your last big game. It might even be his last game due to injury.

Fair play to Agar for selecting Alex Sutcliffe though. We needed cover in the backs as it turned out. I expected Smith to take a bench spot.

Agar seems to get stick from fans from every club, I’m glad he’s proved them wrong, would everyone be happy of they got judged on their performance in jobs from 10 years ago?

Agar is still a relatively young coach maybe he’s leaned from his mistakes in the past and as can happen in all jobs he’s found the right club and right group of players just like anyone can shine in their ‘normal’ jobs if they find the right place

did anyone ;in the know ' ever post what went wrong - was it clough like wanting to change too quick or roy keane like expecting everyone to be like him , though agar has had better signings come in topped off with gale

he deserves credit for sure but lets not go over board. the semi final display was great in the conditions but Wigan were lacklustre on the day and Salford were surprise finalists to say the least and a team we would be expected to beat.

he has at least bought himself some time and earned another season in the job but still much to prove and if we are being honest the team still needs to make several more strides and evolutions before it becomes a top two/three team again, i still say Saints are clearly the team to beat and Wigan/Warrington/Catalans are also ahead of us. lets see how things unfold

On the face of it a good job, and Agar has done well to go from losing to Bradford to winning a major trophy.

The draw was kind on us to an extent, but we still had to beat Wigan and last season's grand final runners up.

Thing is, I sort of feel the same but I’m not convinced I can name a replacement who I can guarantee would do a better job.

Not going OTT just giving credit where it's due

Really chuffed for Agar, he has done a great job. He improved team spirit pretty much straight away and while we may be still behind Saints we are at least competing with the top clubs. Well done Rich.

i know mate, and he does deserve credit for sure and will duly get it. and i agree with Les above at this time, in this crazy new world we are living in he probably is by far the best man for the job; the players look more than comfortable with him and that is more than half of the battle. i will still personally reserve full judgement though until next season when all being well fans are back and we are back to some sort of normal.

This season though, what ever happens now has to go down as an absolute success. I for one had us down as zero chance of siverware before it started but delighted to be proved wrong well done to all concerned at the club.

On team spirit, Donaldson seemed to be a bit of a joker in the celebrations. Somehow it seemed a surprise. He always looked a very serious person to me

Full credit to Agar. He has done a brilliant job to date and proved many wrong including myself. He deserves a lot of credit in turning us around. Will he take us back to being serious championship contenders remains to be seen but at this rate I wouldn’t put it past him. A lot of top players speak very highly of him

He looks a good bloke to have around the place. Thought he was trying too hard today and looked too desperate. On reflection he was unlucky with one where we had a knock-on given against him. But he then did the tip tackle which led
To a try.

As others have said this trophy has come out of the blue really and credit to agar and all for getting the win.

Fair play for today, excellent game and another trophy.

I still don't really believe he's the long-term solution to be honest.

I’d best join that queue of doubters too, I hadn’t seen anything in his past to suggest he was what we needed, but he’s done a really good job. It’s easy to see the occasional flogging as justification of a poor decision to bring him in, but it’s much more likely to be a bad day at the office.

Well done Rich, seems you’re not just a nice guy.

I'm really pleased for Agar as he's had a lot negative comments on this board. Sinfield and Heathrington had the confidence to offer him the job which if they didn't think he was up to it they why would they. I don't go with is he was offered it because he's a yes man. Mentioned a few times a grand final winning player once coached by Agar told me he was a very good coach

He gets great feedback from players who played for him. It's the s who like to think they know what they're talking about who bag him.

He mentioned this in his presser, not in the same way though

Hes a good guy, works well with Sir Kev which is vitally important and has done a first class job.

The team looks well run, the players seem happy, the spirit is back and so is the silver polish.

Still lots of work to be done tho, Saints are the SL benchmark not us. Today is a big help tho, we need to build on it for next season.

The side should get better over the next few years. We must make the next couple of signings count but all the younger players should improve.

We have a job on getting into the playoffs, but with some silverware in the cabinet, it's less pressure. Of the optimistic fans, most were saying top 5 was the target this season, and we should be able to achieve that. If we make the playoffs we'll have exceeded expectations in both competitions

Incredibly Agar is one of the best Coaches we've ever had. To go from where we were when he took over, to the team now is a phenomenal achievement...

The covid situation and fixture list and ultimately winning the Cup may cost us a play off spot rather than lack of ability. But would not swap the cup win this year for a play off spot, and don’t think many would. Reset and semi put the cue in the rack rest of this year. We can definitely afford to give more game time to younger players and get their game time up not all at once but 2-3 In each game and rotate the squad.
