“ “For someone to think that we’d be dodging games is a ridiculous idea and it’s quite rich coming from a coach that ‘dodged’ a round of the Challenge Cup when it got redrawn, meaning they had to win just two games to win a trophy and is now sat in fifth and asking for a top-five play-off system rather than a top four.”

What’s Sam Tomkins going on about here, has Agar actually suggested they are deliberately dodging games?

Oh and Sam we had to win 3 games to win the CC

Disgraceful comments and he should be reprimanded for them.

Ive missed where Agar has “alleged” to have said anything about anyone dodging games.

It just gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside when i see comments regarding how easy it was to win the CC. Yet no one else did. Just us. That is all.

Agar said nothing of the sort all he said was that there's a blatant inbalance in fixtures i.e we're playing 4 in 10 days yet Wire have played 2 in 2 weeks. His point was more about how the games have fallen & its given us a clear disadvantage.
Rat Boy would do well to learn to first read/listen properly then have an adult explain what Agar meant.

Luke Gale has put Ratboy right on his Twitter feed

What did he say?

Cheers mate.

Seems overly sensitive, but i agree with the overall sentiment this this season is screwed, get it done.

I thought what agar said was fair and made sense.not sure tomkins read/saw the comments in context so perhaps should not have written the article.

Now we have Saints not wanting to travel to Catalan for their game, Castleford still continuing to ' cheat ' Covid protocols . Why bother with play offs and a Grand Final this year , " Grand Final winners 2020 " will have a very hollow ring to it. just give the bloody trophy to Saints now and scrap the season

What grounds do saints have for not travelling?

At this late stage of the season when it’s vitally important (providing season is to pan out) id say none.

Why give it to Saints, Wigan are top of the league.

Have saints and wigan do ip dip do to see who wins it. Can be televised live.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where Agar has said what Tomkins refers to.

Agar absolutely was insinuating other teams have taken the Michael with cancelling games etc
In a very nice, non direct way the whole point of the statement was to say we've been penalised for being honest!
He actually named Catalans directly too...
Looks like the statement has achieved it's purpose now. He's pretty smart!

Where and when did agar say this? I assumed they were talking about the pre or post match interview when he said that he didn't blame catalan but they could end up by playing significantly less games than us and also avoid some of the big guns.During the interview that I watched he clearly stated that it wasnt catalans fault and it was just down to the crap that covid had spewed up.

Exactly right.

Agar packaged it up nicely but the intent I heard was "look, we've busted two guts trying to stay COVID-free, made sacrifices and lost games because we've had to field youth sides - has every other club done as much?".

I can see how Cats might have taken some offence at that TBH. Then again he probably does have a point - there are some players who have been too slack with their protection and as soon as the virus gets into camp it will spread like wildfire of course.

Having said that players have normal lives outside of the game, families and kids and it really isn't that easy to completely lock down away from anyone else all the time.

Anyway a good next-up fixture to have against Cats eh?

Agree, that's what I heard. Think the club will have prepared Agar for that statement. Was definitely a purpose to it......

I hope Sammy boy has thanked the League for waving the number of fixtures to be played to qualify for the play offs

I hope we smash them in to the ground, a defeat so bad it effects them for years to come.

No mercy, they're not just gonna lose....they're gonna die!
