3/10 for results. 10/10 for making excuses / pulling wool over eyes. How he can credibly say he didnt see this result coming after 2019 and 2020 is an insult to the fans' intelligence. Any way the world of RL can rest easy knowing he will never be appointed as head coach again in elite sport.

He should’ve gone in 2019 the challenge cup win undeservedly saved him, our league form was nothing short of shocking the brand of rugby is enough to drive the already depleting crowds down further. Glad he’s gone.

Should of gone over 18 months ago.

In the last three years we’ve had three play-off games at home and lost every single one. Talented squad at his disposal and flopped on numerous occasions. Take out the Challenge Cup Final win in over Saints and it’s very poor showing overall, that win pretty much secured his job for the next two seasons after.

Wow does this sound familiar? For Price read Lam and for Warrington read Wigan!

To be fair whatever you think of him even he + nor the fans did not deserve that + yes you could critize his selections but every single one of them players on that field should hang their heads in shame for what must rank as one if not the worst play off game performance in the clubs history.As Kevin Brown said once they went behind they started playing panic rugby hence the horrendous 21 errors so yes the end result lies at Price but we had enough quality on that field to see off a much improved KR this season and them players bottled it big time.

Neither glass half full or empty. Just a realist.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_49863.jpg



I'm sure he still thinks he's got a footy team.

Glib cliché after glib cliché. Well here's one from me to you, "Pricey"........ make sure the door doesn't catch your ar5e on the way out.

3/10 and that 3 is purely for beating saints in the final. We have played awful rugby, struggled in attack and had a team that has played like individuals for the most part. The worst thing is he has never been able to change a performance, if we start atrocious then that's it for the game.

I don't blame Price though this is on KFP, should have sacked him when we were atrocious in 2019, regardless of the cup win. The performances before and after the cup final that season were abysmal, nowhere near good enough.

I'm no fan of KFP but can people stop laying the blame at his feet, if you think he has any power to hire and fire coaches or any clout whatsoever you're mistaken.

A very good question. Rent-a-gob Patsy and cheap. He's another poor decision.

Richard Henare..............Nuff Said:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42237.jpg



He actually gets a decent score from me for passion. You could see him hurt last night, ive seen him slam the walkie talkie down in anger, dump wolfie on his head in front of fans during good times etc.

He scores low when it comes to tactics when it matters, style of rugby and choice of captain.

Unfortunately for him, in rugby the latter is more important than the former.

He didn't come for a paycheck, but goes having had at least 12 monthly ones more than he should've.

It's difficult to think of anything positive to say about him.

Probably his best achievement was getting a side that had been rotten in 2017, to a GF the following year - the semi final win at Saints being the best win in his tenure.

People will talk about his CC win in 2019, but let's be honest, he got very fortunate that day - Saints had a nailed on try bizarrely not taken to the VR early on, and, knowing how we tended to go when going behind in big matches under Price, it's fair to say that was a huge and lucky gamechanger.

I think most of us could have accepted the results if the RL was at least watchable - it wasn't, it was absolute rubbish most of the time and the manner of our defeats in big games was just embarrassing.

And finally, from a coaching point of view, which is ultimately what any coach should be judged on, his work with individual players has been sadly lacking. How many players have improved or maintained their previous quality under him?

Most have gone backwards under him. Christ, Austin started as a marquee player and in 3 years under Price has deteriorated into someone who can't even make the team. Williams presently looks a shadow of the guy who was at Canberra. Widdop has generally flattered to deceive, disappearing in the big games he was brought in to win. The likes of King and Philbin have had some improvement expected of young players, but are going backwards right now - Philbin especially is a major worry for me. From being a standout player, he now looks an average trundler.

Add players like Hughes, Currie and Charnley to the list of supposedly good players who look like average Joe's under Price and you can see his main problem- He simply doesn't have the ability to get the best from players and to build a real unit of a team. Under him we are the classic example of individuals not gelling as a team and that is all on him. Barring the first season, all the squads he has had have underacheived and that's not coincidence, it's just poor coaching from a poor coach.

Overall, he was pretty lousy - 2/10.
