Got the team well up for the game today. Last 2 years we had awful luck with injuries and Leeds this season, despite having the best squad in the league, have shown how much injuries can affect a team... Is Bluey a terrible coach? I also notice that Huddersfield lost at Salford but I thought Nathan Brown was the best coach in the league? After the derby the backs were obviously carrying knocks and needed 'cover' on the bench.

How many times have you seen Whiting play LF in the SL?

Just seems a strange decision to have a winger on the bench, could have done with another forward

Being 5th in the table beating 3 of last years top 4.. 2 away says different.

Don't be like that Matty!

So you saying our best player so far this year is ok on the wing, and hes not wasted there? his sidestep and hands are better then washbrook, and he has more heart than some.

Because after Jodie Broughton showed Lyne is not ready, Atkins, King Hicks and Riley would have finished the kids career before it even started.

Im not Agars biggest fan, but didnt think he got alot wrong today, to bring Lynn onto the wing today, would of shattered the kid, they would have peppered him all day, and his confidence would have been shot, (although Agars decision to name him was a strange one) thought the team today was excellent, the commitment and enthusiasm was there for all to see, Ganson ruined the game for me today, scoreline flattered Wire, it was alot closer game than the scoreboard suggsted! well played both teams

So why have him on the bench at all? Strange decision. Noticed he didn't come across to the fans after the game.

absolutely, would have been like throwing him to the lions.

ffs

If you watched the game - which it appears you didin't - the option of bringing Lyne on was taken away because of the injuries to other players and particularly when he had to take Radford off earlier than planned. As soon as Radford came off I said to my pal, Lyne won't get a run-out now. When Radford came back on (using up another rotation) it was clear that Lyne definitelty wouldn'ty make an appearance. The game was well-coached and with a couple of bounces of the ball (whistle) the reult could have been different.

We had Horne, Briscoe, Lauaki, Fitzgibbon and Calderwood out. Long was off for most of the match and I reckon we had the hardest Easter fixtures of the Super League, plus having Ganson to contend with, so all in all I don't think we could have asked for much more. If you asked me on Thursday, we could win only one match, I know which one I would have chosen.

Four points would have been good, but like I said I reckon we had the most difficult Easter fixtures.

Nail on the head..

Quite simply because there was no one else. If a threequarter had got injured maybe Agar's hand would have been forced more.

He wasn't THAT bad.

also Tickle missing,

For a start Liam Kent was out there warming up. I wouldn't have minded seeing him, and would have eased the pressures in the forwards.

he had an unbalanced match and not in our favour.

and the sitaution today was eaxctly why he was right not to send out any of our players on loan

but if there was no one else why couldn't he have put an under 20s forward on the bench rather than a winger?

And if a back got injured?

Agar had to cover all scenarios, having another second rower on the bench when you've already got a backline of Yeaman, Hall, Whiting and Turner would give the side nothing if anyone of those got injured.

Maybe one of the backs was carrying a knock? It made sense to have a back on the bench after the bruising game on Friday.

Manu has played centre. At one point we had Dowes, Radford, O'Meley and Moa all on the pitch. They can't have all been playing prop, so must have been out of position. IMO it would have been more beneficial having another forward, but don't think it would have made any difference anyway.

TKOAH, it's good that you are being even-handed in your assessment of today. I understand that Agar has baffled us in the past with his bench selection and rotations but today was a completely different matter.

Our best player so far this year wasn't playing. Like people say Lyne was hammered by Jodie Broughton so what top players like Hicks and King could of done to the kids confidence. The team benefited more from having Whiting on the wing then it would have having him in LF. Everyone calls from him to play LF but no one has actually seen him play there so no one knows how good he would be, our forwards are our best asset and our team in the middle has been formidable why would you want to change that?
