He has a contract to the end of the season and that's it. He will not be coach next season.

He needs ditching now also another d!#k head move only using 3 subs last night.

I could be wrong but my opinion is the coach at Leeds now is purely there to do that, coach. Hes going to be told what to coach, which players are in and out and the likes of Wane and Powell wouldn't stay as long as Furner ultimately did. It simply would not work.

Wane announced he was leaving Wigan shortly after it was announced Tomkins was going and Zak was coming in. It can't have been a coincidence. So why do people think he would put up with that or probably an even worse situation at Leeds?

People wanting the likes of Powell, Wane or Flanagan need a reality check I think. Those guys would want control but the Leeds situation has changed now and the coach would be purely an assistant of Sinfield.

If the club thought the fans would accept Agar without too much unease he would have been appointed already. I am convinced of that.

In my opinion Kevin wants to be coach in a way but doesn't want to spend the time doing it as he has a youngish family so he wants to control the coaching department while not doing the coaching.

That's just how I see it, like I say I could be wrong.

I would think any potential coaches either in Australia or over here will be contacting Furner about the Leeds job and I should think his advice will be "don't touch that job with a barge pole" sour grapes maybe ,but he must be very angry

You may well be right Marty. If you are that sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

No established coach is going to accept that. Maybe Burrow comes in as his mate.

Perhaps the other option is an assistant from NRL looking to make a name.

I don’t think Holbrook has signed again for saints next year, if I was in Charge i’d Offer him a big wedge, he won’t come but it would mean saints need to match it and they can’t be making much if any profit

No coach really has control. The only time that has happened was McDermot from 2014 with the academy added to his remit, and 2016 with first team, and look what happened. The club won’t be bitten twice. I don’t understand this myth about coaches doing it all, they don’t.

Appreciate no coach has full control on signings etc but I was responding to marty’s Suggestion that Sinfield is calling the tactics etc as a back seat driver, no top line coach would agree with that set up IMO.

Sinfield has talked a few times about the structure with a DOR, head coach and agar doing development as the right model. I hope we then see that reinstated and hope we get someone from NRL in as head coach in particular to try and improve the young players but who knows

I agree on that.

Has James Ford of York been considered.

I think that he has been given some high praise by several experienced people throughout RL.

He may not be ready for Head Coach yet but could he be brought in as Asst, to be developed for the Head Coach role in the future.

Certainly something to be considered is James Ford without a doubt.

getting to be a farce. no doubt who is calling the shots and thats the way kev likes it. goes wrong it's always somebody else's fault

Looks like TS is having an immediate impact at HKR. I hope we don't end up regretting not moving for him.

There is normally a new coach “bounce”!still waiting for ours though!

Him allegedly offering his resignation to GH over the Furner situation kind of goes against that though.

if it's true.
or knowing what Gary would say anyway.

for me agars no more than a puppet. Leeds go down it's not kevs fault. he did his best

Some people on here want Agar to be given the job!

If we do not sign Hastings when Watkins goes then we will go down .
The first four players on my list to go are La La , Ferris , Myler and Suttcliffe , along with the waste of salary cap J.J.B , Ablett and Crosby. I have said all along if you have Marquee players one must be a half back

If we don't sign a quality HB WE DESERVE TO GO DOWN

why do you thing sutcliffe keeps getting picked at 6? sinny loves him

great judgement

Spot on!

I agree. I think Abdull at London is better than any of our halves. He tore Catalan apart yesterday. Coach of the year Danny Ward. Amazing what a good coach can get out of his players.

Agreed. Abdull and Smith are a decent pair, maguire and Drinkwater are a decent pair, Myler and Suttcliffe are an absolutely woeful pair. With the London or Hull KR halfs, we win that Wigan game. Its criminal that they're our starting halfs.

Danny Wards doing brilliantly, every single player plays to there best and they all know what to do and when, well coached team

Iv been banging the ferres is useless drum hard all season and il have another go here, worst backrower in superleague, he does absolutely nothing positive and absolutely loads of negative, his only noticeable contributions are always ones that hurt the team. S**t , s**t , S**t player. Jay flaming Pitts offers more than him.

Despite Ferres though, the Halfs our biggest problem, theyr the ones who piece everything together and we'v got the worst pair in the league. If theyr our starting halfs for the Catalan game, god help us.

Agree bud. We should have sorted it in pre season. Just pray to god we can bring someone in over the next week or 2

Careful or you will accused of having an agenda

Let's be honest, it would be easier and quicker to pick the players you want to keep than those to get rid off.

The whole squad is a mess.

If we sign a decent halfback we might just dodge relegation but there is still an enormous amount of work needed on the squad over the next 2/3 years before the promising crop of youngsters we have can really make an impact.

We need a coach who can get a team to be better than the sum of its parts.
