Morgan achieved what was asked in getting HKR up and keeping them up when the stakes couldn't have been much higher. We then consolidated and were competitive (if not quite competing). His achievements don't match Smith's - but tbf, is he often mentioned in the same breath on here? The comparison with Kear is fair enough and far from damning, IMO.

I'm not sure which goalposts you're using, but they must be slightly odd ones. Last I looked, Morgan's SL win ratio was slightly the better, even including 2007 when 10 wins represented success. 2008 (partly Sharp's fault, I know), 2009, 2010 Morgan did better in the competition (for clarity - as opposed to the league). If you mean just this season, then fair enough - but it has take me until now to consider this, so either I'm dull-witted or you're too vague.

...Not sure what the answer is here, I sincerely feel for you guys as much as I love the banter (and the win) we had tripe for 2 seasons and it is pants when you pay your money to watch the team you love...I think Moragn will be gone at the end of the season (how many times did he mention Wigan in his pre-match interview, I counted 4!

Agar's doing okay. In the past he's faced significant adversity. Not sure I've seen the two together yet, but what doesn't kill you...
We're plop and in all honesty haven't had
that much adversity either - and what there's been, I don't think is the underlying cause. Just lost our mojo a bit... a lot.
