Dropping Sharp would be daft!
All our right sided defences problems aren't Sharp, Long is defending at Centre and is Weak to say the least, with Long darting out the line Whiting does not have the pace to cover the gap left leaving Sharp with egg on his face,

Just an idea but maybe when defending in our 20 could we slot Fitzgibbon out to the right with Long/Obst, Whiting and Sharp and move the second rower at the time into the middle; It would be a big ask but Whiting is a solid defender and having Sharp Whiting Long Fitzgibbon you've got a lot stronger line. I'm pretty sure you'd be asking to much of Fitzy but it's just an idea ....

The simpler solution would be for each defender to spread out by an extra half a metre or so. This would give our defensive line far less compression and mean we don't have 3 on 1 out wide. If the only way we can defend is to put too many men down the middle then we have bigger defensive problems than some think.

I don't see how he's the perfect bench player when most teams play with 4 forwards on the bench and whiting has barely played in the forwards

It would require a change in plan. It's not that difficult, cockle.

Indeed, it's easy to come up with a shiite rugby idea as agar has proven time and time again, cockle

I never said it was perfect! That's why Agars (allegedly) a coach and I'm not!
Surely any change in plan can only be a good thing at this moment in time? He could rotate with just about anyone in the team to a good standard and gives us options to shuffle the back line around if things aren't going too well.
At least I'm offering options other than "Agar out". Cockle.



How's that going BTW?

Seems to be going pretty well love. He's no longer in need of my help and I think there are only about 5 of you on here who still think he should stay



I would have thought a genius like you would have jumped camps by now

10 games he got from me this year, even if he wins the next 2 we will have fallen short by 3 wins. I'm not pro Agar, never really have been since the end of 2009, just thought an improved 2010 deserved a chance this time round.
He's failed. But while I only see Mcnamara or Noble as replacements I think I'd rather stick it out until the end of the year.

maybe turner will replace him at centre against bulls

So you think we'll suddenly magic up a decent coach at the end of the season? Meanwhile it's another wasted year. Sounds like a genius plan

Improbable as that may be, it's more likely than suddenly conjuring up a decent coach next week.

You reckon? More likely to be progressive clubs looking for coaches at the end of the season and my opinion of his coaching abilities is so low I'd rather have you in charge than agar. At least you could bore the opposition to sleep

I [uam[/u stupid and dull, it's true. Just for clarity, you must consider your own contributions to be diverse, balanced, multi-faceted, interesting and insightful in equal measure, then?

Contributions to what? An internet forum? If that's what you mean then no, I consider them biased and based on my opinion on what is happening at my club.

I don't think you're stupid but I do know you are dull

The right decision imo mate.

Sooner keep Whiting at centre....dont rate Turner 1 bit and his defence is worse than Whitings,who is just struggling atm.

As for Sharp.....he has to take some of the blame as well...its not all Whitings fault with him and Lynne is no-where ready yet.

If the Gleeson thing comes off Whiting could be permanently relegated to the bench....or go full back and put Phelps on the wing, that would please the OP!

I'd rather see Whiting moved to 13 with Fitz used as an out an out prop. Won't happen though.

Turner has done okay when he's played this season and deserves a shot imo as Whiting has not been in good form.

Turner was very good at 6 earlier in the season imo. Looked a real thread with ball in hand.

I'm not sure TBH - before we signed Westerman that would have been my thoughts exactly, but I'd rather Fitz at prop, Westerman at 13 leaving Whiting the bench or FB. Personally I'm a big Whiting fan and think Phelps and/or Sharp have been weaker than him up to now so if someone must make way it should be one of them.

I've got no preference between them mate to be honest. I just want to see a ball playing 13.

I just want to see the season out without slitting my wrists
