Sinfield decided to keep Agar as interim for more than half a season?

My two-penneth.

First up, well done to rovers and especially McGuire, there was no way he was coming off that field on the losing side.

Overall, disappointed, but not overly surprised, dumb rugby, dumb last options and too much standing off the opposition. We looked lethargic and unstructured, the dreaded return of the powderpuff grasping at air “defence” reared it’s ugly head and yet again cost us.

The defence suggests that we've still got too many players who just aren't good enough in attitude as much as anything else. Two wins in a row and old habits kick in, in a game against a key relegation rival.

I don't think Agar's selection was good either - smacks of running the other team around without doing hard yards. That bench left no chance to change the gameplan.

Picking such a lightweight bench was a bit daft. I get the idea but that sort of ploy doesn't often work, and in the modern game I think its a non starter.

It could have impacted the attitude as well because it suggests you're going to try to move the ball all game. It also requires the opposition to get drawn into the way you want the game to be played.

I’ve been surprised Oledski’s been left out recently, one of our more consistent players this year. Maybe he’s carrying a knock.

Donaldson has been pretty good also to be fair.

For me, and I like to keep an open mind, but Myler has come up with a bunch of really poor plays tonight. Sutcliffe was quiet other than the try; missed important kicks early. Newman and Walker both strong runners but need to improve handling.

The bench might not have been optimal but we lost that through errors and some poor discipline yet again for me. Never gave the game plan a chance to work.

Reading the comments on here they are similar to what Rovers fans were saying after last week ..no actually the comments by Rovers fans were far more doom and gloom.

It's one game. We both have to admit that Leeds & Rovers are 10th & 11th after 22 games and there is a reason for that. Neither of us can get on a 4/5 game winning run and break clear.

If we had played each other last week Leeds would have won...a week later Rovers were miles better and Leeds miles worse. Luckily for both of us there is London.

Yes agreed. I’m not convinced about Wakey or Hudds now either.

I would genuinely prefer to see HKR stay up; a decent club with a lot of ex-Leeds connections and an important derby opponent for Hull.

Hopefully both clubs will slowly gather some Ws and then be in a position to plan for next year.

What impact do you think Sinfield has on selection and prep? That's surely down to Agar.

Ask Furner who picked the team, his team sheet was sent to Sinfield on Fridays, it was returned with a tick against the name or a cross, make your own mind up who picked the team, but my money is not on Agar.
Tonight we was pathetic the whole team did not turn up, we were out fought by a team who is supposed to be worse than us, yet the last two games between us they have turned us over.
It seems we move one step forward and two backwards, tonight we got what we deserved, nowt. We had no structure, no leadership nothing, tonight when I left half the team was going to the long bar, they were laughing and joking, unbelievable performance both on and off the pitch. It's time the whole structure was changed, GH has to show leadership, the cull starts at the top, Gone it has to be Agar and his side kick Sinfield. Which future coach would want a troll sat on your shoulder looking at every move you make, he has to go, Director of rugby, he couldn't direct cars in and out of the carpark. For the sake of the club and his legend status he has to go.

Re: RD 22 | Hull Kingston Rovers (H) : Fri Jul 12, 2019 10:56 pm  

Have you any proof of the Furner team sheet thing? I'd bet good money that's utter nonsense.

Also we beat kr last time out. They flogged us in the previous game.

Speak to Furners son, he plays for Stanningley, he is a good kid, lots of his mates are players at Stanningley, it's well known at that club what went wrong. thats the story coming out from the players
