Well said Browny. Here here to that. It is as if if we have come full circle. An under achieving talented squad needing a fresh start. Seen some of the most entertaining rugby under TS in my 35 years of watching. Shame it had to end this way but somehow inevitable.

Expansive, entertaining and successful are my modest requirements for the next guy.

Thank you Tony. I enjoyed Wembley.
2009 with was one of the best moments of my life and to top it we won too. It wouldn't have mattered either way for me on that day. Just to get there was just the best. Goosebumps all day.

Please see my signature of the last 15 months

His first season FINALLY won us a trophy (huzzah) as well as receiving some spankings
2010 damned good
2011 was just RL porn for me
2012 not far behind

13 & 14 were ok
15 dismal
16 entertainment value zero despite winning LLS
17 has just seen us lurch from one disaster to another..... PATHETIC

His recruitment for the first 3years was, at times, inspirational
Since then, poor, bordering on shambling.
The signing of Agar as his assistant was his nadir, and has firmly put us where we find ourselves, now. Surely his "reputation" at other clubs should have served as a warning.

I find the timing of this a little strange, though. He re-signs a bloke in his mid 30s, and then falls on his sword. What if the new guy doesn't fancy Westwood. Odd.

He leaves with his reputation tarnished. Sad really. Best coach in my watching lifetime

Quality human being. I'm certain he was only waiting until we were officially safe before announcing his departure. Although I think it's absolutely the right decision for him to leave, I cannot fault the way he handles himself, opposition players and coaches, very dignified.

I'm not sure that Powell would leave Cas at the moment.
However, if he did I imagine Danny Orr would take over.

Does this mean we'll not be seeing Stuart Pearce down here anymore?

Every cloud, etc

Be very pleased if that happens.

All though it's sad he's leaving after all he's to for the Wire. It's the 100% right decision for us , we should wish him well and than him for all he has done. Onwards and upwards, but mr cats what a poor comment to say. Yeah Pearce is a joke, but your 1st post should be to wish him well and thanks to what he has contributed to warrington. I'm no happy clapper. I drive 4 hours in. Thursday night get back at 2 in morning and go to work Friday after the p... poor performance this year but he has served us good for so many years

Wouldn't surprise me if he's in the mix for the job!

F### me, we've been bad this year, but not THAT bad

Dean Pay appears very, very uncompromising. Could be a very good wake up call for a few people in the squad and very well connected with young up and coming talent in Oz.

With all that NRL nous, perhaps Pay could shed some light on how Cooper has morphed into a poor man's Asotasi, since his return to SL

Ahh I don't know, quite fancy him running towards us shouting 'C'MON!!!!!!!!!!' like a loon, when we pinch a close game.
