Mary Set To Get Some Help

[Lewish33]

Not sure how true. But can only be a good thing right?

The Dragons are set to sign highly-rated English coach Richard Agar to help embattled coach Paul McGregor next season.

Agar is one of the most respected coaches in Britain, having coached the French national team as well as Wakefield and Hull at club level
He is currently assistant coach to Tony Smith at Warrington but is believed to be close to signing on at the Dragons in a recruitment and high performance manager role.

The Dragons started the season strongly and signed McGregor to a new deal as a result.

So laughable, Hail Mary

 

[hewi]

I like it.

Recruitment and High Performance may not be assistant coaching Role. However good to see they are getting someone outside the club. Is Pickworth/Millward leaving ?

 

[Life's Good]

There was a perfectly good assistant in JD, it's just the club didn't have the vision to see that.
Having said that, good to see an appointment from outside the club.

 

[Dragsters]

Interesting...

 

[Overseas dragon]

Anybody with the name Richard must be very good.

I wouldn't think so. Millward seems well entrenched as the head of recruitment. Maybe its just providing an avenue to the UK players. As far as High Performance, Pickworth doesn't have this title.
McGregor would never show any respect to JD and he showed that last year with comments such as "the Nth QLD attacking coach" and calling him "Dimitri".
This guy is older has more experience and given a couple of years in our system will more than likely be our coach from 2020.
Thats a pretty big call, but why would you uproot your family move to Oz just to he a recruiter? Unless there is a carrot at the end of the stick so to speak.

That'll do me!
Why did we hire McGregor in the first place and why did we extend if only to keep propping him up?
I hope Agar turns out to be a genius but if you add Mary's current, upgraded salary to Agar's salary then why not invest in a real coach that doesn't need imported experience?

 

[BringTheNoise]

Hopefully the club will soon hire someone to help Mary find his way out of the building.

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

Can we get an assistant for the assistant, who happening to assist the coach, who needs all the assistance he can get?

Just another layer of management for to feather blame to and or complicate the situation.
As in soccer, we'll soon have more coaching assistants than players.

In saying that, anything that can assist McGregor can't be all that bad, can it?

I think l'll get me an assistant to assist me posting on this forum.
If someone doesn't like my post, l can blame it on the assistant ............ sounds like a plan!

Don't think it would be millward .
We will have to see

 

[grouch]

They love their highfalutin position titles don't they

 

[St Georgio]

Can someone assist me to Kogarah Jubilee Oval, I only know 1 route?
Only 1 proviso, you have to pay me!

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

This bloke has coached the French Natipnal Team! With credentials such as this, how could Agar NOT be "highly regarded"?

 

[Coffs dragon]

It's the wrong Agar being reported! It's actually Ashton Agar from the Aussie cricket team whom will assist Doust, Millward and McGreggor in refining their spin techniques.

 

[Old Timer]

Millward finally found a prop but it wasn't for the team evidently
Hope he has the same accent as the captain otherwise Mc Fookknuckle will never understand him

 

[Gareth67]

Any help , whatsoever , from whomever , can only be of benefit to the man . Who knows, this Agar chap may be able to ensure that we , the supporters , have something to cheer about throughout the entire season . Wouldn't that be pleasant ?

 

[Saint Dave]

It is actually Agarn from F-Troop.

 

[2010]

Mary should actually say at the post match interview that he gets his ideas from this forum
