I think if anyone becomes available down under. Warrington are always 'interested' in the aussie press.

On a side note. Heard on Saturday that Smith will be gone by the time the 8's start. Decent source too. Don't know exactly what that would achieve, although we are in a big rut at the moment, and maybe this is needed to freshen things up. Maybe the board are worried after all!! Just got to find £250k to pay him off now.........

Guess we will have to wait and see.

£250k is nothing to what the club will lose keeping him while in the Championship

.....we've got players in our team we paid a transfer on.....they'll be free to walk away and the club get nowt.

You’d hope for some kind of clause in his contract which resulted in severance without pay, if we fail to make the top 8. Maybe why it’ll happen after the break.

Won't be anything if extension signed before format agreed.

Unless there is a ruling contract terminated should club be relegated. But I doubt that is there. Probably written on the back of a Green Day ticket.

So Longbarn,are we looking at Agar taking over the big padded chair then ?

Nooooooo

As long as its in a padded room!!!

Seriously though, i don't know. Id like to think if Smith was relieved of his duties, that would go for his first team coach too!!

Don't need to pay him off in one go. We can put him on leave and under contract. If he wants to move to another club in the remainder of his contract period then he can terminate.

The only way Smith will go is of his own accord when he feels it's right. He is far too entrenched in the system to be given the chop. Even the new CEO has spent the last few years as his assistant.

Unfortunately there's a perceived credit bank that's been built up with the (rightly plaudited) Cup wins but that this has just been taken too far. Those few successes after such a baron period means we are blinded to the fact that we haven't really subsequently achieved what we should have, given the resources available to us. Everyone within the structure is too closely connected and when an 'old boys club' develops it's hard to let people go when necessary.

I have no problem with Smith he's a good coach and will do well in his next venture, whatever that may be. It's just that his time at Warrington is finally over and we need a fresh start with a clean slate from top to bottom in the coaching structure. The squad is more than capable talent-wise (bar a few positions).

If Cas, Salford and Wakefield can produce good quality rugby worthy of the Top 4 with seemingly previously unknown coaches, then so can we. No excuses for not competing with the resources we have.

Time for change.

Ben Reynolds the latest www.5thtackle.com/warrington-loo ... -for-2018/ Cooper Cronk linked in League Express too- must be closer to Sydney than Melbourne!! Can't see Reynolds is needed, unless Patton is off.

That's an idea...If we sack TS and revert the title back from head of Coaching to 1st team head coach then Agar job is redundant and we can find him a role elsewhere.
Cleaning the south stand loos.

Ben Reynolds is an interesting one. That would mean we have 3 halfbacks again in 2018 - not a bad position to be in when Patton is still to put his stamp on the team and Kevin Brown is not exactly ripping it up. I have not seen enough of Reynolds to form an opinion on his abilities but £125 K if true, is a tidy sum.

Brown can return to the Demics.
