Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"They would probably sulk and we'd soon hear grumblings about him 'losing the dressing room' if senior players with allies in the dressing room got that sort of humiliation.
Also if you leave big names out, who comes in?
Price was criticised for playing Keenan Brand, "throwing him to the lions".
If he sends a signal by shipping off some big names to Widnes for 2 weeks, some kids come out who are way out of their depth and we then get shallacked, and all the fans are calling for the big names to come back...who wins that encounter? It just demonstrates the leverage that the senior players have.
What Price could do, is act tough with the younger players, but not the senior players, which is what Millward was like at Saints.'"
Yep, and it could well be that Price picked up this discord amongst whoever these senior players are, and made arrangements to ship them off for a month.
And it could well be that the board overruled Price in this and told him to coach the team.
And so it could be a standoff developed between Price and the Board resulting in a Mexican Standoff, and who’s going to blink first.
The board may be waiting for Price to resign, losing his payoff, and he’s waiting for the sack and his payoff.
