I think it will be delayed until after the "Grand Final" & the new coach will be from the UK. As long as it's not Agar.

Who are you thinking- Danny Orr ?

I'd like to think it was Powell.

Why on earth would Powell come here?

Money

It would be good to think that the coach in waiting is pulling the strings with the club as to his preferred signings?

BWW, I think may be onto something as most of the names touted are actually free as the NRL has finished, therefore why the hold up of an announcement?

The new guy must still be employed!!

It's definitely Price.

Not sure why it's not been announced yet though.

That's what is strange about all this, it seems a dead cert that it's Price, but still not announced - doesn't make sense. Unless they are waiting till they have the full management team agreed and in place before they announce?

So New coach is Price, we can also confirm he assistant will be x and the conditioner etc will be y and z?

Maybe he needs time to break the news to his wife..."hey love you remember when we first got together you said you would follow me to the ends of the world..."

Club awaiting visa for price. Can take 3 weeks. Soon as that's done it will be announced. He is working in Aus for now hence the Roberts signing

Misread that as "End of the World" and thought he had signed for Widnes.

Maybe even Mal Meninga has been waiting for the Wire job to become vacant but needs to discharge his obligations with the Kangaroos first, & his name is a perfect anagram of Steve Price .

I hate to say this BUT definite signings with no new coach being announced,does seem to point in the direction of the elephant in the room, with Agar being the elephant. I may have missed something but is Agar still part of the HJ set up or has he gone?

He has gone to be fitted with a cork festooned hat & to get some Horsetralian helocution lessons . All a bit depressing.

Personal opinions on Agar aside, it would make sense from the club's POV that we've kept hold of him as a plan B.

Should we fail to sign a new coach, we still have a first team coach contracted and here next season.

Probably also why there's been nothing official from the club in terms of "we're currently scouring the globe to find a replacement for TS".

Plan A - We manage to bag a new coach, and it gets announced along with Agar's departure.

Plan B - All of our targets reject us, and so the club saves face and has Agar next season, which was "always the succession plan". We then move for a new coach as and when they become available during the season.
