He doesnt want the job. So unless hes changed his mind, this is pure conjecture.

If we snag Hastings or Sezer and another high impact second row or prop, I’d fancy my chances to coach us to at least mid table next year and I’d be g sh.

All the people saying Agar doesn't want the job have you not realised yet that hes actually doing the job?

If he doesn't want it why is he doing it?

As a coach do you honestly think he would turn it down?

As for KearuJim's comments on Sinfield I couldnt agree more. He signed for Leeds as a child and was our most successful captain ever. One of the greatest servants the club has ever and will ever have. You might not agree with every decision made but at least respect that he is making his decision for what he believes is right for the club. Hes the right man for the job and needs and deserves time to take us back to the top.

Sinfields playing career here or love for the club doesnt automatically make him the right choice or good enough for the DOR role.

Course not.

However, whilst the buck stops with Sinfield, I don't think anyone can entirely blame him for the mess we've been in. GH is the one constant over the past few years and the deterioration in the squad is clearly down to him in the main.

Sinfield messed up a few early decisions, but even then I can sort of understand his logic re Ablett and JJB - he wanted to keep some of the Golden Generation culture around. Clearly hasn't paid off and is a waste of cap space and I didn't agree with it, but it makes a certain amount of sense. Furner was clearly a big mistake, again in retrospect. But he wasn't a tyro (as some kept repeating) - he coached Raiders first grade for several years and was an experienced assistant in the NRL. I thought he'd go OK, but it didn't work out.

Beyond the above I'm not sure what else you could blame Sinfield for? Crosby presumably passed a medical before signing, most of the others until this week have been squad players. Even then they were signed under Furner, particularly Merrin who he seemed desperate to get. Sinfield could possibly be asked to explain why w have spent marquee money on positions that aren't vital to success, but he was also hamstrung by Lolohea having been signed to play 6 and a roster full of sub-par players on contracts that are way too long.

It doesn’t make him the wrong choice either, until we see the results after that sufficient time. So far nobody can say he has had enough time.

I can still see a scenario where we survive the drop with these new faces and he takes the job for next season after being offered it.

Really we should have someone in place now or set up for next season and coming in back end of the year after the Furner axing or why axe him before the end of the season anyway? That is looking more ridiculous by the day.

Like others have said, its not case of toys out of pram if Agar stays on just a realisation or exasperation that it is going to keep us down in the doldrums for longer.

I do wonder whether the intention was always to have Agar coach this year, but the club had been managing the PR of that.

Whatever, we are where we are and we’re probably best trying not to confuse the messages or complicate anything for the players at this stage.

We should have enough quality in our squad now to stay up, it’s down to player performances and maybe a bit of luck.
