Well that’s all fine and dandy but the damage has already been done. It should have been obvious to all involved after saints PO defeat he’d taken us as far as he could. Instead of being proactive we’ve just written off another season.

Well done to all involved.

You have offered the job to Justin Morgan. Not sure if he has accepted or not.

On an interim basis for the season it passes, but long-term? Very poor decision. He’s yesterdays guy. He was in his pomp circa 2007.

No disrespect, but the "new" Head Coach is a tad underwhelming to say the least. Also not sure if Agar should be the DOR moving forward... maybe the club need a complete overhaul, including finding new owners to take us forward.

Re: 2022 | Richard Agar resigns : Mon Mar 21, 2022 2:00 pm  

Owners no. But a clearout yes. Have to stop looking back. The Golden Generation cannot be replicated and none of them has proven their worth as a coach.

If JJB/Long are in charge it needs to be only until a new coach is found. Even if form picks up that cannot lead us to appointing them long-term. That's what got us here with Agar.

Hetherington should fall on his sword as well

Michael Monaghan, Cameron Ciraldo, Ryan Carr are good names for me definitely and I’d be pleased with them. Justin Morgan is a strange one considering how long he’s been out of work in a top job.

Might be GH and the cheaper option again ?

I'd be on the phone to Stephen Kearney and Marc Brentnall at Melbourne Storm. They are the gold standard for how a RL club should be run. Or you could even try for Craig Bellamy who's currently weighing up whether this year will be his last one with them. It's be an enormous coup to get him but it who knows? Probably too expensive though.

Gary probably could not afford the smashed tea cups never mind Bellamy's salary.

Exactly. To me this was always the concern with Agar ceasing to be the coach. I would argue that both JJB and Long are equally culpable, if not more so, for the current mess but now they are in charge! What chance of them leaving the club when a new coach is finally appointed? Slim, I would think.

That JJB / Long are in this position shows how poor the decision making around coaching has been.
