I woke up this morning wishing Cuthbo was still here so he could play at 6. Someone tell me it's not that bad

That’s a good point. Thinking about this further, I wouldn’t sack Agar unless there’s someone out there who’s a huge upgrade and mid season that’s unlikely. Unless we really do get into a relegation battle I’d just replace him next year. I don’t wish the sacking on the guy I quite like him and we owe him gratitude for steadying the ship and winning the cup last year but he’s got to get results.

Getting rid now will not solve anything

Move him back to his original position from next year and look for a new head coach not from s position of desperation.

Fans often want easy fixes and i just don’t see what sacking Agar would achieve, in fact it could have a negative impact

Yes i do think that is sensible. He's got to get results though soon..

I actually think we might get a couple of unexpected wins over the next few weeks.

Our desire in defence and our pack will give us a chance but the attack has to stsrt doing more, I actually thought we looked OK in patches last night but the second half was shocking to have all that position and possession and only get one try.

I think if we could have got that try 5 minutes earlier we may have tsken it to extra time.

Think you may stand a good chance against us. We are missing a fair few and with the cup game the week after I doubt Powell will risk anyone. Mcshane came off for us against Wire at the weekend and we had Sene Lefao in the centres not to mention Evalds missing so our back line is awful at the mo. Had you been playing us last night I think you'd have scored a bucketful.

1. Myler
2. Tindall
3. Broadbent
4. Hurrell
5. Handley

6. Sutcliffe
7. Gale

8. Oledzki
9. Leeming
10. Prior
11. Mellor
12. Gannon
13. Tetevano

14. Dwyer
15. Vuniyawa
16. Donaldson
17. Thompson

Although Tindall has a lot to learn defensively, he deserves a chance following the Briscoe's efforts. He should add a bit of speed to the side also.

If Alex Sutcliffe or Newman were fit, I would be playing them at centre ahead of Hurrell.

Likewise, as soon as McLelland or Lui are fit, they would come straight in for Sutcliffe who I would then move to centre.

Hopefully Holroyd due back soon and O'Connor can consider himself unlucky to miss out.

I understand what you are saying, but they are not playing for Agar. He comes out with the same excuses every week, we are playing dumb rugby. You can only coach players if they want to be coached, last night suggested they wasn't being coached, We need someone like JC in charge because at the moment we need to some kind of miracle for the next three games.

You know you are struggling when Cas fans are being kind to you.
