I wonder if that means that Smith will officially move 'upstairs' to Head of Rugby then (even though that was mooted when Agar joined). I don;t think we'll see him disappear but I'd like to see a reputable Aussie as first team coach. Not sure where that leaves Agar.

One thing Smith has hardly done well in is recruitment.

I've heard that TS and Agar handed in a resignation after the Wakey defeat. SJM asked them to stay on until the end of the season. I cannot vouch for the source.

I do hope this is true and you have "got one right".

Your rumour could account for the better performance against Leigh.

I think any coach coming in would be to replace Agar, I doubt smith will ever leave of his own accord.
As for Harrison I think he will simply retire at the end of the year, but he still might move on to a different club. Apparently any club that signed him on loan would have to pay part of his wage which is apparently one of the highest at the club given the length of time he's been with us so that may have scuppered a move for him. And i'm not sure but I think if he had simply left and signed for another club it would have stopped his testimonial, I could be wrong on that but it may be why he didn't simply sign for another club maybe?

Didn't we have a similar situation where Simon Grix stayed on our books & went to Halifax ? Incidentally,when will he be back playing for us or has he retired completely now ?

Grix is back playing for Fax now, but missed a large chunk of the start of the year I think. He signed a permanent deal with Fax, so no reason to expect him to come back - think he does a bit of coaching their too.
