I think Agar has been very open and honest about most transfer things, and I appreciate this new stance from the club. They said Merrin might be going even though it was later than anticipated and even said they were in for Prior.

Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if we had already got someone lined up in Aus, but just waiting on the passport situation. Hopefully we'll find out who in the new year.

In terms of an non-overseas back, who is available?>?

Just on this, coaching ability aside (and we'll see how he gets on this season) I've been really impressed with how Agar has gone about his business, seems open and honest, not afraid to criticise players when it's needed and seems a good guy. I really hope he can prove some of the doubters wrong and gets the team firing next year.

I still see his time in charge as coach as a short-ish term thing. He's here to steady the ship. put some processes in place, sort recruitment out and handle this massive transition and clearout.
Whether he's the right man to take us to the top again I'm not so sure - time will tell.
What does seem clear is that he's done a very good job with what he inherited, and most of us would agree the club is moving forward. I particularly like how he isn't afraid to identify weaknesses in the squad even if it puts someone's nose out of joint.

Cant disagree with that Chris & ill happily be proven wrong if he leads us to success or even lays the foundations for success ala Powell.

can't see it as this is a deal that would have been done earlier in the off seasonWhy would Salford sell now when there is little chance of a replacement?

We don’t even have an assistant coach, let alone a finished squad. Competing will probably be beyond us. Pretty poor really, from the messsges they put out before season ticket deadlines.

However, do think we will win some of the type of games we lost in last few years, if in same position. More direction and game management about us.

Chev Walker has been confirmed as the assistant

I like Chev but I'm underwhelmed by that. I'd have liked someone to improve our creativity like the Fev coach did when he came in.
