Wasn't Furner attempting to do the same but Sinfield nipped it in the bud?
We should have kept Furner imo and allowed him to do what he felt he needed to and we may be looking at a total different scenario right now.
Griffin is a good shout but it seems clear they wanted a puppet after the first guy tried to burn out the dead wood.
There seems to be a bit of revisionism creeping in with regards to Furner IMO, we were bloody awful with him as coach, I saw absolutely nothing from him that showed he was a good coach, we were OK in attack but utterly woeful in every other department, yes we may have been carrying some deadwood, but even in this thread people have said a good coach can get players to play above their capabilities, Furner had them playing below their standard, and, it’s not as if Sinfield hasn’t made a whole Load of changes to the playing squad.
People may well think Agar is not up to the job and its a perfectly valid opinion but lets not rose tint Furner’s time here, he was bloody awful
