I think there’s a lot to be said for the mental toughness argument along with culture, the belief that a team can and will win.

On the positive side, should a coach be appointed well before the season ends, without necessarily making this public, then they would have time to assess the current squad.

So, just to be clear, We lose a final to Leeds having beaten them in the CC because we lack mental toughness. Saints lose 5 to essentially the same team but that was because Leeds were an exceptional team. Makes perfect sense.

Funny how you fail to mention the 2013 GF defeat to Wigan after being 14 points up at one point in the game before Wigan scored 28 unanswered points?

IMO if you are 14 points up at any stage in a Grand Final and the opposition score 28 unanswered points to lift the trophy then there was definitely a lack of mental toughness within that Wolves team on that occasion
Now that does make perfect sense

Brian McDermott coaching that side in 2013 and it would have been your year as they would have won it by plenty.

Maybe 2021?

Or injuries, significant juries causing major disruption may be a further reason.

That is a very silly example. Wigan did come back but blimey losing Monaghan & Ratchford probably was a teensy weensy factor.
Forget mental toughness in this one.

Joking aren’t you? The amount of leaks that come out the club fans will know straight away.

I mean I knew on Wednesday afternoon that Price was off next year.

The media are putting Lee Briers up as a possible, why would people think he would be a candidate.

This absolutely this.

It's just lazy journalism. Alternatively, perhaps they might have solved one of life's great mysteries and determined what he actually does and it turns out he is a frustrated genius of a coach being held back at every turn. I would put Hendo in front of Briers should a temporary internal appointment be necessary as at least he has head coach experience and to be fair sounds very knowledgeable when interviewed. Howeever, both have been part of the recent 'plodder' years regime so are either of them any good ?
