We haven't got the forwards to get anywhere near the top 4 imo. The props will get dominated by most teams in SL.
I reckon Agar will stick to Radford at 13 and have Tickle partnering Crocker with Manu off the bench. This will mean a really unbalanced back row. We need a ball player there otherwise we will carry on using Tony as a pivot when that is one of his weaknesses imo. Don't think Thorman has ever shown he is good enough for a top 4 side, so I will be suprised if that changes.
Agar didn't change our tactics much when he took over and with him seeming to have some sort of thing against Hall, we won't be able to use Calderwood to his full effect in attack and Raynor will only show glimpses. Yeaman is our only hope of getting tries in that backline if tactics stay the same.
I really, really hope I am wrong though and Agar changes the style we play dramatically, and also sign a prop or two (and a 7+centre, but can't see any of that happening)
