It is hardly a rush in any sense of the word, when Furner has been out of here for nearly five months now. That is a long time to identify a coach and form a strategy. Infact, history shows us never before has a club took that long to make such a decision. They can spin that one however they like, but this as nothing other than to do with money and control.

How do you know its anything to do with money?
What do you mean by control?

Carr may be the head coach, with agar as mentor role

Which could actually be a good plan isn’t Carr highly thought of?

It's my opinion, and it is because it would be a pretty dumb move to stick with the same failed set up. I don't believe dumbness would be the reason, it is more than that. Why did we need Agar's role in the first place, but not need it going forward if he was appointed head coach?

Agree with you completely Gotcha apart from I'm not totally convinced of the last line.

I wouldn't go as far as failed and if Leeds were to win their last two i'm not sure how that leaves the win loss under Agar.Have the club said they won't be replacing former Agar role if he gets the job?

Agar came in as head coach to steady the ship and avoid relegation, he did not fail

Weren’t we 4 wins from 14 when he came in?

Laughable isnt it. Mclennan in our top 3 coaches of all time! Roy Francis may feel a bit aggrieved too.
Never mind the same poster also described Handley as the worst winger in SL a few weeks ago. Called into the GB train on squad today.

I have never once said Handley was the worst, don’t make up such nonsense. I said he is poor, and he is. That unfortunately is a sign of the times in what standard our game currently is that he is valued anything above that.

McLennan was a great coach for us, so much better rugby than your idol.

Brian Mac who caused the hole we have and are in? Without a doubt.
