you could put either Penny or Prell in place over Russell and even if they scored 3 hat tricks and made 500 try saving tackles... Smith would still put Russell straight back in the team.

Does Tony actually pick the team though? Or does Agar? The way it sounds at the minute Agar is running the Show whilst Tony just oversees it. Either way what we are seeing on the pitch is exactly the sort of drivel Hull and Wakey were serving up when he was their gaffer. Coinsidence?

personally I would appreciate a clarification/explanation as to what the current set up is.

Smith is the coach who won those challenge cups but it does appear Agar has quite the operation going on and Smith is much a bystander. Poching was referred to as nothing more than someone to put the cones out, but we seem to have lost something either when he came in or Agar went out.
Richard Marshall is going well at Halifax all things considered.

Agar will not get another SL position more senior than he has got now. A busted flush. Failed at Hull, Wakefield, France and us. Emperors Clothes.

I remember on here his appointment was met with a luke warm response at best. It could be he is blameless in all of this and is diligently going about his job well on the training field. But when you see the current skills level (passing and catching) it doesn't help his cause.

Since Agar came in the basic skills have gotten slowly worse and worse with each passing season. Having Said that, though Agar is the head coach, Tony Still outranks him. Tony should be relieving Agar of his duties if that is the case.

The way we're playing at the minute doesn't look like the way Tony used to have us play. We never used to have endless amounts of scoots till Agar turned up. Yet on the other hand we still see the ridiculous charge downs Tony has always loved.

Its time the club showed the fans a bit of respect and let us know what the craic is.

In all honesty,we all learned to catch & throw a ball in infants school & i should think our players should have their technique off to a fine art by now. I don't think we need to have a lot of sympathy for their lack of ball control.

Yes true. How often do we see a pass from acting halfback miss the breadbasket of the first receiver. Sometimes its above their heads or round their feet.

That's due to the momentum rule.

Or the 'memento' rule as Stevo used to call it...
