Nothing on Sky sports or the BBC this morning so guess all still here, someone mentioned TS was here 2/3 seasons to long so really I should not be surprised nothing has happened. You don’t need replacements before you show current incumbents the door.

What's Cullen doing now

upsetting people on the disciplinary committee

We seem to have this glass ceiling at the Wire where we can only perform to a certain level & that has been a problem all the years i have watched them. We get our nearest & dearest with similar financial positions as the Wire who can just pick a manager off a shelf who does the biz & they come up with players who want to perform & do their best for the club that is paying their wages. We seriously need to look at our overseas recruitment policy for a start when we have imports that either just go through the motions or can't even get on the bench. Hill & Cooper can't do it every week.

The best person to sort Wire out would be Shaun Wane. Whether he would take that job on, who knows, but it wouldn't be a surprise to me to see it happen.

here's part of KF's post season interview with the guardian you would argue that nothing has changed, or may have even got slightly worse. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/ne ... ead-coach/

Id be over the moon if Wane came to us. Love his mentality and we need a rocket up the arris!! Cant see him leaving England though as he hasn't even managed a game yet though?

We currently have overseas players that can`t even get into the 17 man squad.

Punt on Dennis betts

While you’re correct re middle 8’s, that is not the only barometer of a good job.

Smiths downfall, in my opinion, was a desire to complete projects. This was either a self driven campaign or forced upon him by a board unwilling to invest. This was seen in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

2015 saw players like Wheeler, Russell, Antony England etc. brought in trying to create a ‘Chris Hill’. Who was essentially a bargain superstar. Sandow came in too late to do anything (and was horribly unfit).

In 2016 we got Gidley, plus Hughes, Dodds, Cox, Bailey and Westerman. Gidley aside they were all project players. Patch up jobs or last roll of the dice. Still, won the league leaders shield and got to within a score in both of the major finals.

At this point, Smith either doubled down that he could change and develop players into a champion team - or his hand was forced by lack of money. (Draper era, so may have spend up on fancy lights, new club shop and new badges). So we got Blythe, Crosby and Pomeroy. Only Cooper turned out to be a good signing.

Against 2018 where we got BMM (dream team, huge fee) Roberts (Marquee), Goodwin, Charnley. 2019 Austin, Clark, Mamo on good money and 2020 with Widdop. All of these players are bought in on big money. In addition to the squad fillers, Gelling, Latu, Tasi, Thompson, Davis, Walker etc.

The board have backed Price. They have let him have the same luxury as Smith, to bring in potential talent in younger/project player, plus the added benefit of huge names being brought in from NRL first teams. Starters. Plus, cap-free additions like Charnley and Burrell. He’s brought in his own team (Henderson, Gardner etc) and had a chance for them to settle in. Last year we finished 5th in what was a two horse race in August. And this year we failed to beat Salford and Hull in the big games. He won one trophy in the three years of huge investment, same as Smith on a show string.

I don’t think we’re any further on. We’re essentially in the Cullen era again. Stars, but not good enough to make it count.

We will probably end up with Stuart Pearce

Ian Millward has the ability if he would come

I’m not one to leap to conclusions, but “Betts” and “Millward” would suggest you are just here to troll.

Got to be Watson surely

No doubt if they are going to make a change KP will be Zooming Aussie coaches we have never heard of to replace Price, we could try for McDermott or throw big money towards Mr Wane or try to gazump Hudds to Watson if indeed he was ever going there at all?
