Matt Prior is refusing to write off Leeds Rhinos’ season and believes the new incoming head coach will inherit a squad determined to climb the Super League table. Headingley supremo Gary Hetherington is understood to be close to announcing a successor to Richard Agar in the coming days.
Agar stepped down last month after admitting his methods were no longer working but Prior is confident this season can be salvaged. The rugged Aussie prop, rated as one of the best signings of Agar’s three-year reign, told Rugby League Live: “I’m definitely not writing us off just yet – I think we’ve got too good a team. We’ve got everything in our favour to be honest.
“We obviously haven’t got the results we needed but we’ve still been there or thereabouts. If we just keep working hard and trying to get better then I think eventually it’s going to click. I believe the next few weeks are going to be good for us.”
