But who would you have take over from Price? Demetriou always gets mentioned, Flanagan would be nice, Is Henderson well thought of to be given a chance, is Richard Marshall to much of a Saint to be considered??

Those suggesting Flanagan after criticising the boring style of play should be careful what they wish for. Cronulla were awful to watch under him, lived to wrestle and kick penalties.

Don’t get me wrong, it was successful, but dire.

Marshall was a coach at Wire before Saints so I can't see that being an issue.

Throw a blank cheque book at Wayne.

Agreed. Tony Smith was England coach at the time he took over at the Wire so it can be done.

If there is one man who can sort out any prima donna players, any dysfunctional backroom or any interference from outside or above then he is the man. A proven winner and you can be sure the players will be giving their all.

Could you imagine Wane's reaction had he been coach on Friday after that defeat?

Unlike Price who just looked glum in the box. Imagine if you were looking for some inspiration as a player and looked up to see Price sulking. Hopeless

I hear wane mentioned all the time but I hear no reasoning other than he got the Wigan team playing with pride passion and they would run through walls for him. We all acknowledge that Wigan whilst successful were not good to watch.

I think a large part if wanes success at Wigan was down to the fact he started with their youth sett up and progressed through to first team coach. He had his style n ethos embedded at every level they were playing at. He had coached some of the players fir years em before they made the first team. Not to mention his status as a part player etc. I jyst don't see him being able to replicate that here with us.

I'd go for Demetriou... He's getting touted for NRL head coaches roles now..

We shouldnt be too proud to do what saints did and get a coach that has asperations of an NRL gig get him over let him win us a grand final and if he naffs off back to the NRL 2 years into a 3 year contract so be it..

It always seems like we are trying to build something long term and it never happens.

Isn't that what position we are in now, but without the success?

Wane gets my vote

Isn't that exactly what we did in getting Price ?

Write a cheque the size of which would make our marquee players weep and make it out to "Mr David Ward c/o London RLFC".

Proven to deliver teams that play with verve and skill surpassing their abilities and most importantly, [ibrimming with passion.[/i

Never heard of him
