The final was fun....... The majority of the season has been painful.

Playing some of the most boring rugby I've seen since we moved to the Halliwell Jones, shocking penalties, daft mistakes and a game plan that hopes either Clarke or Austin can throw a dummy and go......... Otherwise just kick it high and hope King can catch it.

Spot on, Warrington have to be ruthless and not allow the cup win to paper over the huge cracks which have been there for a while now. The reality is that, with the exception of 2 games, you’ve been awful for a good few months now which is more than a bad run and it’s difficult to see how that isn’t going to carry on into next season. It’s those 2 games which have saved Price his job and whilst they did end with a trophy, had you lost one he’d now be one defeat from the sack.

I imagine the cup win must have been incredible for you all but the only downside to it is you’re likely going to have another season of dross to put up with. I hope you do get rid of Price because Warrington are normally one of the few SL teams I enjoy watching but under Price that has most definitely not been the case. For me, you should go for Ian Watson. He deserves the chance, he’d have you playing entertaining rugby and he could oversee a sustained period of success if given the chance.

....I can see why you think I'm deluded now...
I take it all back...
Good grief.

Price has got Wire to three out of three finals during his tenure thus far. Having won one this year, that's an improvement on 2018. These are the stark facts that get him another year before I judge him to be the right man for the job, or not. Yes, we've been awful in the league since June - that I don't disagree with you, but for me, now is not the time to replace him.
I would be very disappointed if Moran, Middleton and the rest of the hierarchy have not already had words with Steve, and the squad, with regard to playing the rugby were capable of, going forward.

Sometimes winning the cup can spoil your Grand final aspirations

Poor discipline, poor kicking game resulting from poor completion rates, missed tackles, total lack of plan B and being completely predictable spoil grand final aspirations more.

The game plan we had for the cup final would probably see us win at Old Trafford, the basics executed well is usually the way the grand finals are won. The referees allow a much slower ptb and almost any infringement on the edge of or just outside of the rules goes largely unpunished. However, I'd be amazed if that got us to old Trafford in the first place.
