We're assuming the coaches have been the problem all along. Despite Price's preference for boring rugby, having seen that Powell couldn't even motivate this bunch, maybe Price wasn't such a bad coach after all. In fact, he seemed to do best with a weaker squad with less Prima Donnas.

I think that unless we sort out this comfort-zone culture within the ranks, Holbrook won't be able to change a thing here.

However, IF this rumour is true, I live in hope. Four years is a big pay off when it goes wrong again though.

Holbrook is an outstanding man and an outstanding coach. He'll get the town behind the team again and the team will improve drastically. Everything will improve from your academy through to your first team if you give him the resonsibility. His knowledge of the NRL market is outstanding, as is his knowledge of reserve grades and juniors over there. So when you sign a player, you'll know he's got something. This is absolutely the best decision Warrington could make. [If true, hopes it isn't.

Boooooooiiiiiiiiinnnnnnggggggh


Time for bed

For only the second time in my 40odd years of watching, we've got a head coach that's actually won something of repute, and we've not [itaken a punt[/i on somebody.

There could still be some life left in the season.
There's no club that's anything special

you're fooling no one Warrington boy.

BREAKING | @AndrewVossy reports: I'm hearing Justin Holbrook has signed a four-year deal at @WarringtonRLFC. Believed to be a lucrative contract that includes big bonuses built in for trophies won.

Looks like it’s done. Welcome to Warrington Mr Holbrook.

They said all that when Millward went to Wigan and they were right.

Third time...Dorahy won the league and cup double with Wigan

Really strange that he's gone for this deal, guess the money must be outstanding as the reason he left saints was to take his family back home.


That was the main reason why I thought he would not come back.

Whatever he said the reason was it was clearly to be head coach in NRL. Even Saints fans accepted that at the time although they did question if he had chosen the right team.

There has been a hint of criticism towards Simon Moran And Stuart Middleton recently. I suppose we have all been looking for reasons as to how we have ended up with the worst form for 20 years. If the money to get Holbrook over here that has been mentioned is anywhere near true then fair play to them.
Yep, it is their train set and they can play with it how they want but that is a significant investment.

Good luck to him. Might need to wash my mouth out but even when was at saints I thought he looked like a decent bloke. Just hope it works out because this club has been a bit of a coaches graveyard for decent blokes. It is only the last 2/3 years that Tony Smith has got over his "Falling our of love with the game" after his spell here

If we have pulled off this bit of recruitment it is unbelievably quick & decisive. Our management team couldn't really have done better. Let's hope it's a goer!
