Correct me if I'm wrong you'll know better than me, but didn't he get the boot from the bulldogs due to alleged player power. Squad hated him or something?.

He's got a couple of jobs here.

I can't see why he'd come tbh.

He brought in a good mix of youth and experience into that Dogs side of the earlier 00's. The forward pack he built was one of the best, if not the best that decade. Maitua, Sonny Bill and Mason ripped it up week after week, and where backed up by the likes of Steve Price and Asotasi, both of whom played their best footy under Folkes. You can add O'Meley to that list too.

He did lose it towards the end of his reign, but I partly put that down to the amount of key personel he lost over a couple of seasons.

John Lang

The fact he hasn't has a coaches job since he left Canterbury speaks volumes.

Like I say he won't come over anyway.

I was talking about Steve Folkes mate.

The thing I don't understand about people suggesting the main reason the board wouldn't get rid of Agar is a "loss of face" due to giving him a contract extension. This extension was offered almost a year ago. Since then we've won neither a cup tie nor a play-off game.

We have won 3 of our last 10 games, 1 of which was the controversial last minute penalty v Crusaders, another we won by 4 points courtesy of Tom Briscoe's last minute tackle on Fox. Not good enough, simple as.

If anything, the board will lose face if they are happy to allow the club's marketeers to claim we are silverware candidates in the face of utterly compelling evidence to the contrary. They've given Agar 3 years, and a year since the last contract review. Enough.

No.

Please no!

Bottom line is he is miles better than anything available at the present time. Being out of a head coaching role for little under 2 years (not counting his spell in Cricket) hardly speaks volumes, considering how job oppertunities in the NRL are so few and far between.

He's got an excellent work ethic (just ask the Wests Tigers team and Tim Sheens) He's known for his no-nonesence approach, and he's got bags of experience at the top level of the game.

bring noble in as D.O.R and slowly ease him into agars position then give agar a backroom job, a cleaner would be appropiate!!

He has indeed old_faihful. He also has a job in the nrl (and s successfully perslonnel fitness company) I don't think he'll coach again.

Why would he?

I think he'll retire soon and Bennett will be at Souths next year. I liked the way the Raiders played last season under Furner.

It was only 5 or 6 months ago he said in an article that he wanted to become a head coach again, and would consider an offer if an approach was made. I'll try find it.

As a former Premiership winning player and coach, do you really think he can just play out his days under Sheens as a conditioning coach? I dont. Especially when Wests are playing finals football. That must give him the motivation to give it another go.

I thought he'd announced it anyway,Langs use of the bench is as baffling as agars.

I'd be amazed if Bennett coaches souths, have you read his book.

Thats the Article with Folkes from last year.

Furner is a good young coach who has done very well in his short time as the Raiders head coach. It's great to see the Canberra board have some faith in him and reward him with a new 3 year deal.

Bennett, probably end up at the Knights.

sorry

I haven't.

Thought Noble has a good job at the moment as adviser to Micky Roukes film on Garath Thomas's life story

Depends whether the board can agree a fee?

I think it will be only a matter of time before Steve Price of St George gets offered a first team deal. Maybe the board should take a look at him.

daniel anderson would be a fantastic option but theres plenty of coaches out there that would love the oppitunity to coach a team like hull

End of the day the players are not playing for Agar and don't blame them

what about Ricky Stuart
