That would be very disappointing.

Whats the use of getting another prop when we could have given one we already have a go even if coming off the bench.

Maybe if Agar got one he actually liked then he might give them a chance.

Totally agree. There must be someone cutting it up in the lower league in Australia. Some big south sea islander we need size and quick !

What part of we don't have any quota or non-federation trained places left don't you understand? We can't sign anyone from overseas, end of.

Bring back Stosic

Is Jarrad Hickey currently not under a contract? Is he looking for a club? Is he a monster?

Sign Him Up! Would be an easy signing and quality player!

I don't think it's a case of Mason being 'out of favour' , more that he is back from injury.

Smith
John
Southern
Aiton
Collis

Which one to ditch?!

It would if this particular poster had any credibility and didn't just speculate whilst pretending to have the "inside info".

In one.

If Southern rumours were true would happily replace him with Moi Moi.

Someone who could make the opposition poo themselves.

It's clearly a dept we are lacking.

Why, I'd put Marriano back where he belongs and see him punching holes like last year. We are not short of players IMHO just not playing all the right ones in all the right positions - Mr Preview.

Lets see what Lockyer and Gallen are upto as well!!?

We are the second worst team in superleague going foreward, thats fact, so something is wrong, are forewards are not good enuff. check the meter stats, they do not lie

Definate sway in balance in favour of 2nd rowers to props in the squad. I dont buy this Wilkes is a 2nd rower stuff. He has been a Super League prop for 5 years now.
That said, we still only have 3 out and out props in the squad, which makes you wonder why we got Kirmond and Raleigh from the Giants when we did. Strange as it may sound as they have been 2 of our more consistent players, when we had the players we had already signed on, could the money have been spent better elsewhere??

As you say the Huddersfield lot have been consistant performers this season, obviously rated higher than what was currently at Wakey by Agar. So im guessing in his opinion it wouldn't have been better spent elsewhere. Maybe he was hoping the Mariano's, Johnson's and James's would have all stepped up and performed to last years standards, which by all accounts they haven't (I wasnt watching WTW last year so can't form an opinion on this).

Johnson is about the same, Marriano has been all injuries this year - James wasn't with us last year. However get your point.

I dont disagree with them being rated higher, i was mainly pointing out that the balance wasnt/isnt right so was there a real need for 2 extra second rowers. Im all for getting good players in when they become available but the balance has to be there. Obviously RA's hands were tied a little what with the signings we had already made but for me 1 of either Kirmond or Raleigh and another prop (if available) would have given our pack a better look about it.

I don't buy that at all, IMO Agar was always nailed on as the new coach, it was all mooted very early, he was just playing hard ball with Hull for a pay off.
Him and Jimmy are mates, so I think all the signings were made with his approval, but one thing that we all need to remember is that this seasons squad is a stepping stone to next seasons, and that to the seasons after that.
The big picture and where we are in a couple to three seasons is what actually matters, some of this seasons squad won't make next seasons, some will shine and out of this squad we will form a bedrock of the future teams, something to be fair to Agar didn't have the fortune of having when he "took over".
I think the reality is they are all Agar signings for one reason or another.

Don't agree with that at all, otherwise we wouldn't of gone through a interview process and been actively seeking other Coaches and I don't buy for one second it was all a sham just for effect, so Jimmy could get his 'mate' in, bit too conspiracy theorist for me. Personally just think at that time he was the best of the lot, which may speak volumes.

No conspiracy theory at all, many advertised jobs are already taken by someone either within the organisation or someone who knows someone.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Of you thought you would get a pay off, would you walk out or hang in for the £££?
I know what I would have done, especially if I knew I had the double whammy of a job seen up waiting for me.
Common sense.

I just believe if there was someone out there better and was willing to come, we would have gone for him.

James Elston may think Agar is a very good SL coach as well as his friend.

I thought this at the time of the announcement that he was taking over but then his refusal to play some, the rumours of him trying to offload a couple and the signing of others suggested to me maybe not!
