WARRINGTON first team coach Richard Agar is confident Wolves’ players have identified the areas they need to improve after six rounds of Super League.

“We’ve seen some good performances, some good passages of play, some great tries and at times some outstanding defence,” explained Agar.

“But we don’t think we’re quite where we want to be and after round six we’re probably still looking for some improvements.

“Last week (against St Helens) was probably a prime example of where we don’t think we’re quite nailing it at the moment.

“We think we’re not too far away. We looked at the first 15 minutes last week and saw three or four clear cut chances we’ve not nailed or not pushed on the play enough.

“Perhaps we’re guilty a little bit at the moment of sitting back and waiting for the next play, which is a little bit un-Warrington like.

“But there’s a lot of ‘keep doings’ in there, we feel we’ve just got to push that little bit more and nail one or two things – probably improve our kicking game as well.

“We think there’s plenty of improvement to be made, but what’s important is the guys recognise that and know how to do it.”

Lee Briers is Wolves’ current under 19s head coach, but Agar says the first team have not been looking to him for specific help in the kicking department.

“Not really,” said Agar when asked whether Briers was working specifically with Wolves’ kickers.

“We do have an external coach that comes in. But it’s not just about technique it’s about recognising situations and kick selection as well as execution.

“Lee’s part of our coaching team and as ca team together we’ve got a pretty experienced bunch of guys in there.”

“It’s a team effort, between all of us rather than any one person’s influence,” added the former Hull FC and Wakefield head coach about his impact at the club so far.

“Tony’s obviously our head coach and a very successful one at that. I’ve come in to what is already a strong set up.

“I’ll give my input and opinion where Tony sees fit, that’s my job.

“I’m not too sure about my own individual influence, it’s very much a team effort.”

Wolves welcome Huddersfield Giants to The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Friday and Agar expects the visitors to be buoyed by three successive wins.

“They started with a really tough defeat against Hull, one that might have shocked a few people, but Huddersfield will probably be the first to admit they didn’t have a great off-season in terms of preparation,” he added.

“They really struggled to get pre-season games in because of the weather and people pulling out on them.

“They probably went into round one a little bit cold. They will have seen a gradual improvement each week; they performed well in a couple of defeats.

“Now they’re on the back of three wins and all of a sudden, the table being as bottlenecked as it is, they’re up to fourth spot.

“They’ve seen the gradual improvement and they’ll come to our place with a shot in the arm in terms of confidence.

“Through Danny Brough they’ve got a terrific kicking game and a big set of forwards that can certainly get them going. They’re a pretty big side across the park.

“A little bit like ourselves, some new combinations are settling in. They’ve moved Luke Robinson back to hooker, Jamie Ellis has come in, Scott Grix missed a couple of early games.

“They’re a very well organised solid team right across the board.”
