FB you missed out the bit the S Price use to be a crane driver tut tut.

Double post.

Oh yes he was a crane driver.
SP also said his family will be over here in 4 weeks. I can imagine that being without the support & love of your family for 4 months is horrid.

The early start and late finish may not be unrelated!

I have copied the following article off the Love RL site regarding Steve Price :-

THE PRICE IS RIGHT FOR BARBA

"A mischievous journalist reckons they have Ben Barba saying that if Steve Price was Warrington coach when they approached him last year, he would have joined them. It’s irrelevant now mind, because he’s at Saints, and the way he played on Friday he could be head and shoulders the best player in Super League this year. The big challenge for Saints isn’t Warrington – it’s keeping him away from the NRL"

Its makes me wonder what sort of impression Tony Smith gave of our club

Let's not get TOO carried away, eh fellas

Price has won 2 games, and has come over well, in a meet and greet. I'm sure any coach would have the nous, not to come over as a t055er in one of these evenings (James Lowes may struggle, though).

Let's leave the personality comparisons with Smith, alone too. They're different people. Price has BIG shoes to fill, to replicate what Smith achieved.

I'll judge Price at the end of July, unless we lose the next 6. A bit of perspective is needed.

Absolutely. Those brown shoes with the blue suit are going to take some forgiving. I do hope he makes a fist of it though - if he doesn't it clearly won't be due to a lack of effort or desire.

This all sounds great but ultimately it will all be about results.

Good communicators are only popular while they are winning. After that they start to grate. Remember a few years ago when Brendan Rodgers and Roberto Martinez were flavour of the month on Merseyside, and then when the results turned they got seen as guys that liked the sound of their own voice. Paul Cullen went through similar with us, he was a fantastic communicator and understood the club and the fans better than anyone ever would but in his last few years the fanbase was divided as we never got the consistent results.

I would happily have Wayne Bennett grunting and grumbling through interviews if he delivered success.

Navy/Blue suit etiquette dictates Brown, Black or Burgundy shoes; all is forgiven.

Burgundy shoes? Goodness me where do you get your fashion tips from, Coco the clown?

No questions from me about his choice of attire.
I hope he wears them again in front of the sky cameras vs Stains. TS has nailed down a philosophy that luck plays a very important role in the playing ethic here!
[Whistles]

I bet if he joined Warrington he would have had the 2017 Christmas Calendar above the mantlepiece.

This was the infamous 'done deal' slant from RD.

Its rumoured that this was one of the driving reasons behind board misgivings over TS.
There has been talks with a few players and alleged gone pearshaped after TS chats.

Yes without a doubt its all about results & performances. As TS always said if we get the performances right then the results will follow.

This season I like every other Wire I want trophies, but being realistic thats probably a bridge too far. If we finish top 4 & give a good account of ourselves in the cup then most fans will accept that. Our best chance of success is the cup but thats dependent on the draw, although in 2016 didn't Hull beat Saints, Cas & Catalans to reach the final ?.

If tonights game is on I think its very important in terms of confidence for the rest of our season that we get a result. At the end of last season I was speaking to Kurt Gidley and he said by game 6 of our losing streak the players confidence had gone and once a players confidence was gone it affected every aspect of their game. We've had a mini revival beating Widnes & Wigan & if we get a result tonight I think it will do wonders for our season. I 100% know tonights game is just 2 points in a long season but to our team it could be much more than that.
