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.

I hope we can "refresh" the warm weather training programme too if this season is anything to go by.

Ha ha ha

The 2018 recruitment is making the Pomeroy signing look like we signed Gene Miles.

I hope this wasn't the same recruitment team that came up with Roy Asotasi. Having said that Johns was still on drugs at the time.

I do remember Johns being asked who out of our youngsters had impressed him in pre season and who he felt could go on to "make it"

Lee Mitchell... Was his answer.
