That is obvious to most people. I wonder if its obvious to Agar , after all the conditioner is answerable to him.
If Agar isn't happy with fitness levels you would assume he would ask the conditioner to change things or change

Fitness only becomes an issue because we constantly put ourselves under pressure with dumb mistakes and increase the amount of tackling we have to do. Most of our players show remarkable lack of basic tackling skill.- going high ans getting bumbled off so someone else has to come and make another tackle or three or four players failing to stop the offload so yet another tackle has to be made (unless the opposition score which happened several times yesterday). Honestly - if they just tackled properly they'd be a half decent team.

Seriously? Do you stand at the game with your eyes closed? Your constant burying of your head in the sand is the only ridiculous thing about this thread. Agar is responsible for the players performances and those performances are way below what they are capable of, the buck stops with him. The constant playing of people out of position has destroyed their belief and it stands out mile that he has lost the dressing room. Thats nearly 200 points conceded in 4 games and another battering awaits on monday. We have no structure, no desire, no fight, no clue. Defeat on monday should see him gone and it can't come soon enough.

Exactly. That 'performance' yesterday was for the Adam Watene trophy. It was a shameful effort. It is time for change.

| Richard is a well educated, articulate man who knows the game inside out... He is both eloquent and erudite in his knowledge, he carries excellent qualifications and is well liked in all quarts of the game. I imagine him to be a phenomenal performer at interview, and would trust his opinion on the game without question.
Unfortunately .... He can't coach!

I have my fingers in my ears too so I can't hear you....in an online type of way Lol.
I think we''ll turn it around. It won't be over night.
I'm not in control of the Agar side and he might go but I think the issue is clouded by those that just jump on the anti Agar easy option band wagon.

| Its ok for you Pop Tart you are in a minority at the moment the rest of us just see it going one way and are down at heart.As it looks with Agar at the moment Harrys come over and he will play as soon as can be instead of wait your turn.Washbrook looks a spent force then gets injured and then comes straight back in after 3 good games without him and he still looks spent.Lyne though been good going forward has been rubbish feeding his wing man and in defence.Then add the positional changes Agar has made and the same old story after each game lost and it all looks as though he aint a clue of how to fix things even if some of those changes were because of lack of form and if some were for lack of form why pick Washbrook or injurys to players.Me personally I said from the off I would give Agar a chance but that only lasts so long when you look back and right from the word go our defence has been poor even in the games we have one we have let some real soft scores in against us and that's for the last 2 seasons so nothing in defence has changed.Alas for me its time for him to go and look for another coach one that will instil pride and fight by the bucket load.As to the question who then wasn't that a question when we have parted with coaches before.

I forgot the most pertinent one - Shane McNally.
Shane did well by us and got us our first play-off games, but the following season he seemed to be over-thinking things and it all got away from him. Despite his tremendous efforts, the board at the time felt that we needed to rake action and we brought Tony Smith into the hot-seat. Now Tony wasn't great, but him coming in won us 3 games we probably wouldn't have. How good would 3 wins look now?

Given that taking into account last season as well we have only won 3 out of our last 16 games it would look great.

Well now, this proves my point perfectly.
I quite liked McNally but as you say things started going wrong and we pushed him out and gave it to Smith.
I can't remember the 3 games but Smith turned out to be the worst coach we've ever had. Certainly the performance on the field implied that.
A poor run does not mean we should just hop across to anyone else just because we don't like Agar.
My points about jumping on the bandwagon I may be able to explain like this.
When you do maths at school, you won't get top marks by just giving an answer even if sometimes right.
You have to show your workings.
Workings for these threads are not logical in my mind.
Every coach we've ever had has been beaten by the top sides at some stage. Heavily too.
It's topical to say Agar has been rubbish forever but he hasn't. We've had good form under him.
Those that want Agar out would say our top 8 finish was down to players not Agar. Ellis in particular.
But when form goes it is him.
I'm not that impressed with Washbrook but some are now saying his tackle count is only high because he is 3rd man in. Apart from the fact it plainly isn't true, we could do with a few more 3rd men in the tackle.
It goes on for many examples but although Agar may be passed his sell by now, partly because the fans won't accept him, I haven't seen a good enough reason to swing the axe.....apart from bad results, and there are multiple reasons for that at the moment.
I have to agree with Tryscorer that he has been clear of his feelings from the start.
If it turns out Agar has to go then so be it but I hope MC and KH get a good replacement rather than just taking what's available.

| Surely Agar now has just mondays game to try and save his job. The performances just haven't been good enough for a long time now and our board of directors have to act, doing nothing is not an option. Yes it will cost to remove him but can we afford to keep him? People will vote with their feet and stop spending in the shop and relegation would cost the club more. It's a long shot as i feel Huddersfield will win comfortably but it now is win or bust for our coach.

| So what's your measure Sixtogo?
If it's win or sack we might as well push him now. There is no win coming.
What performance would make you give him more time?

| My measure is only a win will do, if the game wasn't so close i'd get rid now. Since he joined us as coach Agar has managed 25 wins 66 games against superleague opposition. An overall win percentage of under 38% isn't good enough i'm afraid and if you take away that 7 game winning run in 2012 then it drops to around 30% of all other games. It is a results business and it's time for a new set of ideas.

| I think given Michael Carters no nonsense approach that if he had an option Richard Agar would be long gone by now but what can the man do when he has been stitched up by the contract extension. I don't know how a pay off is calculated but would be interested to know how much it would actually cost.

True enough. Some would say give him a little longer but I think it has gone past the point of no return.
We must also remember that whoever comes in needs time to sort this mess out.
So for me its get rid now and give the new bloke as many games as possible to get some wins.

| I don't believe Richard agar will ever get sacked by the club, I reckon we are stuck with him basically because the club gave him a three year extension! So anyone who thinks he has one or two games to prove himself is way out!!

| I think we are stuck with him due to that contract extension and he sure as hell wont quit his role no matter how much we protest.Just look how much verbal abuse he got at Hull and still carried on until his contract ran out.

That tells us everything we need to know about Agar. Even in our worst times there always felt like a result completely against logic was possible however unlikely. Headingley one Easter after getting tubbed by London 70pts plus etc. Doesn't feel like that now.

Not sure he'd accept peanuts as a form of renumeration. Wouldn't be a fan of such an appointment but beggars can't be choosers. As a temporary measure it may suffice. Morrison would be my choice.

| Agar will be tough to shift because this is probably his last employment as a head coach at the top level.
