Yes but it's a results business

And he may get the results, we’ll have to wait and see, it won’t be next year though.

What I’m not looking forward to though is after every loss or below par performance next year (which will happen) is the agar out posts, he’s a brave man taking on the job IMO

Personally I don’t care what he’s done in the past, I care what he’s going to do in the future.

We don’t know who else has applied or who the other options are, I’ll judge him on how he goes next year and the year after if he’s still in the job, this transition period was always going to take at least 3 years

An coach from the NRL is no guarantee of success, Furner was praised in here (including by myself) and look how that turned out.

Aghhh the transition we have been in that, or should have been planning properly since around 2012 for me the fact we are in this state at the end of 2019 is poor to say the least. So only 3 more years of this dross or maybe a bit more and things will be rosy again? Great

I'm sure he is a cracking fella but that has nothing to so with having the ability to head coach a team like Leeds. Infact his track record points to failure at every turn.

Yes the transition has been handled poorly we can all agree with that.

3 years is from when Sinfield came in, since then we’ve shipped a load of players out brought new ones in and at the end of next year a load more will be going.

I’m not expecting much out of next year a top 5 playoff place will do me with hopefully some of the younger players coming along

it is and his results a considering the holes in this team are not too bad.As posted earlier if the season had started when Agar got the job we would be in joint 5th.Not too shabby with the squad we have.

Im sure players love him, he seems a really good bloke and he does seem to know what he's talking about, but he dosnt seem to be able to translate that into results. Based on his career to date, he's done nothing atall to warrent being our head coach, the exact opposite infact, his CVs terrible. That supersedes a players opinion for me.

He’s got us out of the poop this year which was no easy task, we looked a right shambles.

Having a great CV from the past doesn’t always translate to success in a different team, look at Tim Sheens in his time in SL.

We ate just going to have to see how he goes and I really hope he proves the naysayers wrong, however I get the feeling for some anything less than us winning something next year will see him as a failure. We won’t be winning anything til at least 2021
