Why?

Not exactly the topic for it but if the new coach sorts the lame powder puff pack out in preseason, I'll be having a punt on Brown for mos. Im expecting a big price on him after this season.

When are the 2018 fixtures announced? Thanks

There was a big price on him after last season if I recall correctly? Wasn't it £150k?

Lol. Yes....and Widnes achieved the same result as ourselves without him. I'll give it some thought.

I wonder if the new coach will be effectively relegated in position as to the position TS held?

TS over saw pretty much everything other than signing the cheques. Agar did/does pretty much what Shaun Wane or Chris Chester does without the profile and the pre/post match interviews...anymore.

Will we be bringing in another person to over see the other things that aren't directly associated with the team...like John Kear and Chris Rads?

Either way, lots and lots to do. Hopefully wheels in motion on all aspects.

I'm resigned to that fact that it's Steve Price so pulling in my bottom lip.

Need to get cracking now.

Someone mentioned that Garth Brennan stated that he didn't want to relocate which I guess makes Price the only candidate left. Hasler will be busy with the court case in Aus.

Wouldn't it be funny (well, not really) if Price actually turned us down and we were left with nobody.

Suddenly that 50-1 on Agar as an interim first team coach for 2018 doesn't seem like such a bad punt!

Well according to Mole if you believe him, Brennan never turned us down. Seems we never offered him. If true disappointing.

November.

I find it astonishing, albeit rather predictable, that no sooner had TS farewell speech finished reverberating around the HJ than we were scurrying off to Aus.

Firstly, we could have sounded out prospective options via video call. Travelliing across the planet to be told your top targets are not prepared to relocate smacks of not doing your prep to me.

Secondly, was the post ever advertised? At the moment we seem to be wandering round talking to people who are not, and never were 100% committed to the cause. The last thing we need is a coach who is Chris Sandow with a walkie talkie.

Finally, there were, and are, options here. Toovey and Henderson @ London are both better bets than most names being touted; at least they are here, they know the weathers rubbish and the comp is nowhere near the NFL so are less likely to scarper the first time they see the Wakefield away team dressing room. They've also got bettet pedigrees.

Totally agree with you on this. By all accounts, they knew that Tony was leaving at the end of the season so why the day after Tony gave notice of his departure did Karl jet off to Australia. I think there was more to his journey than we are led to believe.

Sandow

You should be our CEO
