We have some favourable fixtures coming up after this sunday. Hull KR Warrington and Toronto all at home with Salford away sandwiched in. You feel he needs 2 wins out of those 4 minimum or he could be in trouble.

Looking at the leeway given to Furner and the 4 game ultimatum given to mac that time, you'd suppose Agar won't get too much grace to stick a few performances together.

if Agar gets the sack within 4-5 games of the season it will look worse on Sinfield and Hetherington than Agar, that's why it won't happen, as it happens I think we'll win more than we lose in the next 5 anyway, people are placing too much on last weeks performance IMO.

Agree completely

The thing is they set a precedence by sacking Furner so soon. And that was a guy they head hunted, waited half a season for and brought half way around the world. Why should someone of Agar's standing in the game be afforded more time?

We will see what happens but the fans aren't daft and can see what has been happening to the club. 2 years of dross now is fair enough if you can see progress but.....

Debateable





We are one bloody game into the new season and we are talking about Agar getting the sack, that IS daft if not entirely predictable.

This was always going to be the problem with the appointment of Agar. I said repeatedly last year Agar would be named Coach and wouldve been named it months before he was if the powers that be believed he would be accepted by the fans.

Unfortunately he never will be and every loss will see fans calling for his head and blaming him for the defeat.

The truth is the fans are probably right and hes not the right man for the job. He wont be sacked though. Hes trusted by Sir Kev.

Going to make a bit of tension between the club and the fans the longer it goes on though.

Agree with this, he will never be given credit for a win though. I reckon we could finish in the top 4 and he wouldn't get credit, this forum has form for wanting coaches sacking, even when they are winning trophies



I think this forum will be pretty unbearable this year, I'll see how it goes but I may sit it out for a bit.

The team that plays on Sunday is probably worse than the team who played at Saints last season , we have hardly improved the squad in my opinion , if anyone can point me out more than 3 quality players in it then i will be astounded .

I can’t but I will add if Koni doesn’t play the three quarters could be Newman Sutty Evans Handley. Give me strength.

Ill name you 6 that will be better than the team that played Saints (asumi g you mean the saints game early in the season)

Hurrell named in the squad - how can he play with an 8 day concussion protocol?

Was Hurrell concussed? I thought i heard he had an ear injury?

Not sure. Don't think sky captured it but he was staggered like a boxer who's taken a good un after his knock. Maybe he did pass the head test after all though?

He may well have- but he was initially taken off for concussion assessment and did not return in the time period so surely the protocol must stand. He certainly looked concussed.

We will see. Pretty sure Leeds said after it was an ear injury causing a bit of dizziness. Could be wrong though.

That's my understanding from what was said on Sky.

If Hurrell took a whack around the ear it's possible he wasn't concussed and just had his equilibrium scrambled slightly, which would explain the jelly legs. It's quite common in boxing.

As none of us are doctors (I assume), and none of us are part of the Leeds medical staff (I am reasonably sure) we should not question the integrity of the protocol or the outcome.

I mean, seriously, do we now think Leeds are risking players long term safety by flying in the face of player welfare.

The game will be abandoned anyway. Storm Ciara innit.

Maybe. If not the weather's gonna make it a bit of a lottery I fear.

Ward out after one game

Nah- we have an award winning properly built stadium not a flat pack one. Our ground staff are pretty smart too. No need to abandon the game. The only way that will happen is if the national grid fails us.

What award?
The one with no atmosphere- or is that just because nobody turns up to watch. Must be embarrassing when the away support is higher than the home. Never mind probably the highest gate of your season even if the wind will be blowing.
Just hope it doesn’t spoil what looks like a very good contest!
