I have got the first few chapters sorted and I'm close to signing a deal with the publishers.

My book is entitled 'Eternal Bridesmaids'. You'll find it in Waterstones this Xmas in the 'Painful Life' section, next to 'A child called It' and those sort of depressing texts.

My version is in the uplifting self help section, its called "I told you it was our year!"

Is the self-help section next to the Medical section? You'd love my self-help medical book - "Choking - How to Prevent It at the Big Dinner'"

let e get this straight...the guy who is fronting the club in Aus...leading a serious, heavy duty recruitment drive, our CEO...was as second rate fullback who played for Salford. makes perfect sense.

I clicked on this thread, expecting it to be a "Gids" (that makes me vomit) love in. How wrong I was.

If there's any mileage in this, there may be a goldblatt forehead sized dint in my gable-end wall.

......but hang on, hang on. WIZZARD IDEA, you chaps.

Sack the atrocious Russell. Re-sign Joel Monaghan.

Re-sign "Gids"

We've just re-signed "Super Ben" (vomits, again)

Buy a tin bath on wheels, and take it up to Hill Cliffe...

...Hey-ho, we can remake "Last of the Summer Wine"

Think of the possibilities.
Fitzpatrick can be Nora Batty.



.....seriously, is this what we've become. If so, last one out, turn the lights off.

Maybe the incumbent coach fancies Gidley as assistant/on-field general?

Whilst most people on here see him as some bumbling Clive Dunn figure in a half backs jersey, his abilities and knowledge of the game down under are (quite rightly) more revered.

All under the watchful eye and guidance of Agar and "Mr Warrington" the Warrington Borough Council head honcho.

Don't panic, Mr MIAW, don't panic

If that unlikely scenario is the case (no slight on Gidley), don't you think the club could do some active press management and announce the incumbent coach first ....

Here are the 7 (SEVEN) new signings announced for 2018. Oh yea of little faith.

They don't like it up em

Isn't Gidley older than Private Godfrey.
If Gidley gets injured, could Godfrey's sister Dolly nurse him back to health

I think I'll start the box set again. Classic.

I imagine that more likely it's Simon Moran speaking to Andrew Johns and drawing up a shortlist of coaches and players. The others then do the donkey work.

Point of interest, but why would we want to go running off to get Johns' thoughts on anything? It's just his opinion.

These pre season coaching clinics he's done for the last few years have hardly been fruitful. Our recruitment from down under hasn't been much cop, in the last half dozen years. Great player he was. This doesn't make him a scout/genius at coaching.

The club should let the John's thing go, now. Move on.
