It's going to be Richard Agar or a young coach such as James Ford or Marshall. All the names mentioned Wane, Powell and Smith etc arent going to take orders and it therefore wouldn't work.

Its Agar's job to lose.

Agar has made it clear he doesn't want it. Very clear.

He's not the only one, i know so many people who just have turned their back on the game in last 4-5 years, my interest for the game waned about 4-5 years ago also, i don't really watch other games anymore, and i hardly used to miss any on Tv. watch the odd Nrl game now and sky plus when Leeds game are on.

So for me if Leeds do get relegated that's it for me i will stop following the game, i will just walk away and take my sky subscription with me as that's all a get it for. Buts that's another story, for a another thread.

I have been saying for last couple of years this is my last, pretty much for the same reasons. The game is absolute terrible over here. The officials have took this game so far backwards with the rules they apply, taken everything good out of the game, and can not open their eyes to blatent cheating. Silly thing is, I honestly think the game would improve massively just by one simply rule change. In fact scratch that as not even a change, just simply applying the rules. If they enforced the rule of playing a ball with your foot after standing up, then there would be zero interference at play the balls, zero cheating, and make it far easier to officiate. This in turn would make the teams start to concentrate on skills to get an edge, instead of penalty's.

I also used to be able to watch several games in a day. Now I can't even watch one match on Sky fully. The Summer bash was a bit of fresh air in that it was something different with the teams. But that was just a novelty.

I much prefered Junior rugby over the last few years, but now son has stopped, don't even get involved with that anymore. The game here needs taking by the scruff of the neck and really rebuilt.

pretty much the same for me, i get that refs make mistakes and i get they miss things or see it different, i also get that we view the game with blinkers when its live, and often release after another viewing at home that they got it right. But all the above you say is so true its all about who con cheat the most, players have always tried to cheat but its gone to a whole other level. Its not just that its the constant swapping and changing formats and gimmick fixture lists. Franchising was the way forward but nobody had the guts to follow it through. only watch Leeds Now not interested in the game overall anymore. I used to consider my self an Rl supporter now i just support a team.

Re: New Head Coach - who's it going to be? : Mon May 20, 2019 4:50 pm  

I barely watch. I watch Leeds games on sky but whereas I rarely missed a sky game I hardly ever watch now.
the standard is poor and the refs make it worse

Re: New Head Coach - who's it going to be? : Mon May 20, 2019 5:03 pm  

The refs are rubbish, for me its not so much the big calls that everybody remembers, its the tedius penaltys that march teams up and down the field, you can see them desperate to blow the whistle. Kendals the worst, cant stand him, ruins every game iv seen him ref, the look of achievement on his stupid little weasel face when he blows his whistle is infuriating. Theres no getting into an arm wrestle anymore, more or less guaranteed to be a penalty within a couple of sets. Watching a lot of NRL, the same minor things that get blown up for here are let go there, and the games miles better for it.

NRL they all play the ball properly too. Why can they do it? Why can the junior game do it? And yet our professionals, none of them do it.

Re: New Head Coach - who's it going to be? : Mon May 20, 2019 5:42 pm  

The game has definitely gone backwards over here in the last 4 or so years. A lot of changes needed starting with 2 refs. Anyways that's for another thread.
