Last week you said that if we beat Saints, we would 'win the lot'.

We beat Saints.

Why sack a coach who is on track for the treble?

I would have Wane 100%.

But is he available now he's taken the England job?

9 days is a long time in RL

Maybe not now but he was available in the off season when we should have acted.

England job is only part time really, other coaches have done both jobs.

So did we and I saw him swearing and kicking things. He was angry but didn't seem to be doing much about it.

His post match comments in the video on the WG sound identical to those he made last year. Its clear the poor bloke hasnt a clue how to solve the problem of our inconsistency. His post match demeanour is very poor, almost defeatist. Words like "it wasnt our day", "we are better than that", "it was a funny game", "we will address it in the week" have less credibility the more your hear them repeated.

he just sounds so bad when he talks... we could be doing alot better thean steve price.

Should’ve gone at the end of the season and the fact he didn’t, totally sums up our club.

Squad wise we’ve still not addressed our deficiencies and we’ve got far too many luxury players, one of which we gave a new two year deal to last season.

A decent effort against Wigan and the win against Saints changes nothing when we’ve won something like five out of our last 17 league matches.

Boring, dull, too lateral, no creativity and going nowhere. A rudderless ship. Time to make a change before we write off another season.

A coach sounds as good as his recent win/loss record.

Early on in the Price era he was saying a few things about commitment, toughness and everyone was lapping it up saying what a refreshing change from the TS era.

If you lose 10 from 12 then whatever you say will sound bad. In fact its even worse when you get the Mr Positivity types on a losing streak. Remember how Martinez at Everton and Rodgers at Liverpool turned in to joke figures when they went on bad runs.

Only looking from the outside in but I said at the end of last season that you had to get rid of Price and replace him with Watson. He did a dreadful job at the Dragons and he’s doing a similarly bad job for you. For about the last 3 months of 2019 you were in relegation form which is shocking when you consider some of the players he has at his disposal as well as the low quality of the league.
Ultimately it seems that a misguided sense of loyalty, because of the CC win, is keeping him in a job, likewise McNamara at Catalans and Radford at Hull. Appoint Watson and you’ll get close to a Grand Final win this season, he’s an outstanding coach and one of the bigger teams will poach him soon, it’s just a question of who. I’d argue the Warrington job is the most attractive in SL so there’s no doubt you could do much better than Price who is a failed head coach and should go back to being an assistant.

The stats show that we are a disaster under the current regime, the CC win does not gloss over the shocking loss to Les Cats at Wembley and the poor show at Old Trafford. The losses to weaker teams is a real worry and shows me that the coach isn't on top of his game.

The evidence only points to Price being relieved of his duties, whether or not Wane would come is a debate, but him now having taken the England/GB job makes the chance much more difficult to persuade.

Sticking with Price will bring nothing but gloom to the fans on a weekly basis. Time for change for me.

Price's league record 2018/19/20
P 60
W 34
D 1
L 25
Win Ratio 56.7%
Outcome - Contract extended to 2021.

For contrast ...

Keiron Cunningham's record 2015/16/17
P 74
W 43
D 1
L 30
Win Ratio 58%
Outcome - Sacked and Saint's win GF within 2 years with new coach.

If the board fail to act then we deserve exactly what we get.

The difference is Keiron Cunningham didn't win a Challenge Cup.

I've had plenty of arguments with the 'boomers' on here (ie the ones about 5 years older than me ) about the team of the 1980s and their inconsistent league form.

Ah yes, but they beat Halifax in the Premiership Final at Elland Road and that is worth a lifetime of memories, the boomers will say.

In 30 years time, the current milennials are going to be saying the same. Someone will pipe up "I've looked at the win loss record and decided Price was crap".

"Wind your neck in, son" they will be told, and then someone will tell the story of the 2019 Challenge Cup final, when we beat the mighty Saints against the odds with a legendary spell of defence on our own line.
