Out of work looking for a new Challenge I know it will cost to pay Mr Agar off but maybe his mate Elston will help.

No fear Bazzo 44 will disagree

Wouldn't be opposed to this.

Granted @ the start of the season we all said it would take time to Gel but its the same old excuses time and time again.

12 weeks to get a new working visa and he's off to Australia in the not too distant future. I do think it's criminal that Rob Powell and Richard Agar are coaching at the top level in European domestic rugby league while someone of Potter's calibre is unemployed.

potter would be good yes but my 7 year sonwould be compared to that muppet currently attempting to coach us

Hang on a second, we have a coach?

well thats what agar pretends to be but we all know he isnt

This is the same Potter who failed at Saints - how exactly do manage that.

The same Potter who had a dismal season with Bradford last year, whilst the players performances this year seemed to improve the closer the tax man got than anything Potter did.

He did OK at Catalan but then no one understood a word he said.

I get the Agar issue but the bigging up of Mick Potter is selective at best.

Completely agree.

I have to agree with vasty - just because everyone loves him at the mo for turning in on Saturday for nowt, doesn't mean he's turned into Wayne Bennet.

I expect he'll get an assistant gig in the NRL and every time he looks back on his time in England, he'll be a bit sick in his mouth; he's had a torrid time over here.

I agree with Vasty I find Potter quite boring . Bradford have a very good team and should be in the 8 this year. Sts he failed hes not that good. We had a good coach in JK he would be doing miles better with this current squad !

Yep I'll join the bandwagon too. I don't see why Potter is an improvement.

Id sooner see glenn morrison get a chance than potter.

One thing I'll say about Agar is that the players seem to want to play for him, and he hasn't exactly been blessed with a champion squad to work with. You can't throw a team together, I suppose, because the only ones you'll get are the ones who are available, willing, and within our budget. I suspect that wasn't a big pool to work from.

Last week Cas fans were screaming for Potter in. I wanted Harry Potter in to sort out our defensive. Can't question Potter's integrity and he's done a very good job this year, yes Bradford have a decent side but they've had some chronic injuries plus the off field stuff. Potter deserves a paid job somewhere!

Yep...we did a Hull. Swapped a steady and well organised coaching approach that got results for...well..what? An assistant coach. This is Richard Agar's level. How we could not see this, the way they played against us at the KC last year, their mediocrity all year, I do not know. RA appears as inspiring as Norris off Coro. We have a better squad than last year and the performance is barely any different. I hope the board listen to what I feel is now the majority of fans. I..I think we, have had enough. We didn't want Agar, he's had his chance. It's not working. Make a deal and get rid please.

I don't care if a coach is boring or not, Smith is a bit boring but a fantastic coach.


Potter, well i really don't know how good he is so i won't comment.

Potter was interviewed last night on 5live during interval of warr/cat game. He is looking for work back in oz, his work permit over hear only allows him to work for the bulls.

I'm not in that majority

A lot better squad than last year do a comparison 1 to 17 of the side last year and this.Look at some of the games and apart from the odd few we have been poor in the second half.Salford home almost blew it same with Catalan in the 2nd half after blowing them away in the first.Bulls home went in at half time behind but the better side in 1st half then got blown away.Keep having performances like this and all the good work will go down the pan and uptake of season tickets will drop and the fan who dont come to every game and pays on the gate will keep away.We need someone to put fire in the belly and Potter aint that man nor is Agar.

I'm obviously not an RL coach or a fitness conditioner but I would put some of our poor 2nd half displays down to the fact that we are not tiring out opposition defences in the same way that they are ours, and I put that down to size\attrition.
We all know we are lightweight in the pack and I think that is what is causing some of the 2nd half issues. Our defenders are being battered by big blokes while the oppositions are not and that takes its toll later on in the games.

Whilst I can't entirely lay the blame for this at Agar's door (he can't sign players if they're not available) the fact that we have consistently refused to play for example Matt James and given his bench place to another 2nd rower is down to the coach. Everyone knows we are missing a couple of genuine props but the refusal to play one that we do have is just ridiculous IMO.

Agreed.

And on the subject thread i'd have Potter over Agar any day of the week but it ain't gunna happen so we may as well get on with looking forward to mostly below par performances for the next two seasons.

Since when did Potter fail at Saints? He made the GF two years in a row... The first time against Leeds - where Daniel Anderson also 'failed' to beat them previously, and the second time against Wigan when they were missing influential halves Pryce and Eastmond. Royce Simmons didn't do any better the following year either.

Potter's first year in charge of the Bulls was like his first year with the Catalans - it took time for his structures and playing style to bed in with the players but when it did the following year he was successful with significant improvements in both cases.

Rather see Brian potter from Phoenix nights wheelchair and all
