I think we have to say fair play to Rich Agar today. Despite the fact Tansey has been our best back all year he's not been included to play againgst Hull KR. The fact this is our biggest game of the season and that Tansey has been one of our best players means that Rich has showed some bottle to drop him. It's quite easy dropping average players like Paul King or Jamie Thackerey who were badly behaved but this proves to me that Agar has bottle and is serious about good discipline at the club.

Well done Rich.

Anyone have any info on what Tansey's done?

Never been a fan of Agar but think he's done a decent job with regards to discipline.

From what I gather (albeit from this place) he missed 2 training sessions in the week before the CC final (or after) and also alledgedly got thrown out of Sugar Mill the night of the final.

Apparently it involved a condom machine, a fire escape and a burger van. Chucking one of those things off another of those things onto the third thing would be my guess. Though how he managed to throw a burger van off a condom machine and onto a fire escape is anyone's guess.

Our best back?

He's more error rideen than Hall, who has been in out top 3 for the last 3 games.

Tansey is a liability, bet the club are pleased they paid 2 transfer fees for him

McGuire and King have made more erros than him this season, they're terrible players too huh? The type of player he is he takes risk which is fine and something we desperately lack IMO. The problem with Hall isn't the errors he makes as such, it's just the way he has been responding to them previously.

any player no matter how good has no place in the team

agar said he will discipline anyone and he has done so

Care to explain?

I assume he means the amount paid to Leeds initially and then the small amount to bring him over early.

Paul King for many years was some way above average mate, to indicate Tansey is a superior player to King is a ridiculous statement.

Good on Agar I say.

Yep

£30k fee, then an extra fee for the early arrival

Well Peter Sharp had no issues with dropping Gareth Raynor for missing training, as well as apparently being overturned for wanting to sack Paul King?

Tansey needs to be more professional, RA has done the right thing.

If players act like children they will get sat on the naughty step !!

If players don't act like professional players they should get sacked

he has been warned for his personal admin already but i am sure he will survive this drama in a teacup

They should have warned him first time then and presumably it wouldn't have happened this time

i agree, and he should of being made to work for his place back, i remember whiting producing a man of the match performance against cas then tansey walks straight back into the fullback back roll in the next game and whiting gets dropped to the bench, and to be honest i dont think tanseys all that good, fair enough he does a few good things but his kick returns are pretty poor (apart for against bradford) he seems to jog up to the defence and always makes a slow ptb as he recieves a dominant tackle, you watch other fullbacks, they go balls out to get them metres eaten up

Has it been confirmed anywhere than he is suspended by the club?

If true that's twice in a few months. Not good enough, he should be on a final warning.

Completely agree with that.
Tansey seems to just jog and fall. We know he can be exciting in one hand but on the other he can be just plain stupid. I think he needs to seriously look in the mirror (good God!) in the off season and and ask himself what he really wants to do. Tansey has the [upotential[/u to be a really class act.

Surely this drama is worthy of a pint mug at least if it's meant dropping the recognised fullback of the most important game of the season so far?

If it's not that big as deal as to have warranted dismissal, can we expect to see him next week if we get through?

I don't, simply because I don't think he's capable of doing it himself.

Agar should grab him by his scruff and drag him in front of a mirror. He should then point out in no uncertain terms that even though he returned from playing for an NRL club, we have previous of signing British players who did something similar. The last one is still at York IIRC.

Precisely Coddy.
He aint got many lives left!

TBH we've had enough experiences in recent years of trying suspensions and warnings and second chances, with Thackray, Cooke, Lee etc, and it never really ends happily. IMO it's 2 strikes and you're out. I can only think there's some contractual technicality stopping us getting rid, assuming the stories are true. Tansey's let himself, the rest of the squad (who generally seem to be more professional this season and working really hard), and the supporters down to get to the point where our first choice fullback is unavailable in our first play-off game since 2007. The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get.
