Only performances on the pitch next year will tell us whether or not that's a good thing. KS will be trying to deliver a modern administrative structure for the club - it's what he studied.

I very much doubt Sinfield has had a say in this regardless of what has been said. Seems a bit too coincidental to be Hetherington family that is the key appointment Sinfield has sought. Which begs the question, when it fails, should Sinfield also face the music.

We dont expect to be contenders for quite a while yet ,but if we dont see significant progress next year yes the DOR will be held to account .By making progress I mean no danger of relegation

Is the announcement being streamed anywhere?

So now we know all done and dusted. Definitely not my choice but For our clubs sake I hope he succeeds

official. personally i do not care who is the coach, i just want to side to be better next year, trying harder playing well and in the top 5-6 teams from the off, don't think the squad will be a challenging for another 2-3 seasons but as long as we are making progress and building back up then that is all that matters.

I wanted Furner and was happy with the appointment but it was obvious after 8 games he was awful and had to go. Agar may not be my or many peoples choice but the club sees something in him. At 47 he is still pretty young people say he was a failure at other clubs but he was much younger then and probably not ready. Hopefully he is ready now. People rave about Powell but he was failed coach and was a similar age when he went back to Cas via Fev. Agar might just be the right man in the right club at the right time. if not then its 12 months rolling so we can reassess then.

its going to be a long job, we need to get behind him not against him, next year should be better than this but it will still be tough for a couple more years, this will not be a quick turnaround to success we are building from the ground up again, hopefully pushing for play off spots next year at least.

"First thing I will say is I'm quite happy with the squad". We're not Richard, we're not...

Jesus.... that says to me not many in or out..

Maybe budget doesnt run to it

I get that he can't really say that we're looking at this player or that position, but to say he's happy with the squad just rings of not wanting to upset anyone and that's what got us into this mess in the first place.

What he should have said was "clearly we've under performed as a whole this season and we will make necessary changes to make sure that this doesn't happen again next season." Then the door is still open for him to move people on, or push them to improve their performances next year.

This whole thing says to me we will be no further forward in 12 months time...

They need to be careful with the budget, but taking a cheap option will almost always mean that you have to take a more expensive one at a later date.

Just because he hasn't said that there will be wholesale changes does not mean that he will move in or out anyone from any position. It's a presser interveiw and a throw away comment to be take witha pinch of salt.

could finish 2 points off bottom, which is where he started. improvement???

Certainly been an improvement on the feild in the way they have played, even if it hasn't translated into results. I could only see it getting worse under Furner

This key fact seems to have been lost on people, and it is so strange. We were never going to go down, we were far too big for that, regardless of who coached, and yet somehow he is getting credit for saving us, despite actually nearly taking us down. We would never have had to wait to the last couple of weeks of season had we put the right man in charge months earlier.

Oh well, we just have to accept it, and plod on again, until the next one gets sacked now. This clubs and its fans just will never learn at all. Let's just move on.

There won't be many in or out for next season IMO, there are quite a few off contract after next season and that's when we'll see them leave.

Yes, the team has improved especially defensively

Go on, who was that then?

You could produce a list of 15-20, take your pick. Your not seriously suggesting we have the best man? Good luck to him all the same, as I do like him as a person.

Produce the list then, its pure speculation as to whether they would have done any better than Agar.

I have said that I think in the circumstances Agar is the right man for next year, the club obviously are thinking it snot long term (unless he does really well next year) and I'm sure Agar is fine with that.

Who would have been your choice for next year?

His record as coach previously sucks. He has done an OK job this year but no more - 5th in a 12 team league with four dreadful teams and another couple of dodgy ones with 3 new players? Pass me the champagne.

Put it this way, can you imagine him even being shortlisted if he had applied at the end of last year? Or to sts, Wigan or wire?

Using Furner is the worst excuse for not going hard for a top coach. What it really says is we're going nowhere next year.

I hope he proves me wrong.

Griffin should have been the man before Furner, and should have been now. He was everything that we were looking for, for long term also. There are plenty others from the NRL, but he was my choice. UK I would have gone Watson, but I am not a fan of UK coaches at all, and think they have taken the competition backwards.

As I said on previous post though, I do like Agar as a person and his integrity, and on that basis I wish him all the luck, and really do hope it works for him. But as a fan, I can not escape the clear thinking that it is yet again another wasted year.

Not overjoyed, but I can see why the club have opted for Agar. One year is about right IMO.

To be honest I think changing our playing roster has more chance of improving our fortunes than bringing in a new coach. I'll be a lot happier if we get a few more announcements on retention and recruitment in the coming weeks, to take effect for next season.
