Are you saying he's not left yet? Give over, he must have.

Set your alarm for mid-Oct 2021 and just cut and paste your notes from today

My point was questioning the size of the chunk. If it is a big chunk then fair enough off with Price but when I have heard him interviewed he exudes more enthusiasm and insight than Price ever does. If in fact he has effectively been sidelined then I might think of him as a possible successor. If he is materially responsible for the debacle than I agree he should go as well.

The ‘big’ coaches are hard to come by, Wane would be number 1, but he won’t walk away from a fight and that fight is England.

McDermott is a strange one, even with an excellent team he managed to turn out some mediocre seasons. That group of Sinfield, Burrow, McGuire, Peacock etc doesn’t take much coaching, with the foundations being laid by far better coaches before him.

Watson has done a great job with a small budget and has proved he can make players better. He would be the best choice, especially in times when spending is likely to slow down.

There are also very good coaches with a strong affinity with the club around and potentially looking for a crack at the job. Matt King is highly thought of in Aus and part of the successful Rooster & NSW coaching teams. Michael Monaghan is back at Manly as a part of a project to rebuild the club under Hasler. And Brett Hodgson (if he’s not signed up at Hull already) has served under McGuire at Wests.

But I think Richard Marshall should be a shrewd choice if Wane isn’t available. He was a key part of Smith’s successful era, took Halifax to the brink of the super league with no budget and has been at Saints under Holbrook and this season.

If you can tell me what the division of responsibilities are, eg selection, plays, substitutes. Then tell me how often Price over ruled Henderson then I would be able to assess the degree of responsibility. Without that it is pure guesswork.
Have you never made a suggestion to your boss to fix an obvious problem and been over ruled? Did you resign or think “oh well, I’ll document it and when she gets the push I’ll apply for her job”?
Look back to Saints under KC, Long was assistant. Cunningham got the push, Long stayed on under Holbrook and they were successful.
Nope, the top man shoulders the blame.

Watson moving from Salford to Hudds is at best a sideways step if not backward. How can we let this happen? He has proven himself to be able to mould a team of cast offs into a team that's beaten us more than any other team in the last couple of years. Allowing him to move to Hudds is dereliction of duty from KP. If he doesn't want to come to us then that's a different matter. IMO if Watson moves to Hudds he lacks self belief that he can become a top 4 coach as Hudds set up believe that the Senior brothers are superleague standard!

Dennis betts did amazing at Widnes on miniscule budget and was booted too early at Wigan and is hungry for a chance

This kids, is what we call a poor troll

So bad, I actually feel sorry for the poor love.

I understand Dominic Cummings has some time on his hands.

Cummings would write 30,000 word blog posts about the failings of the club management, complete with his diagnoses that we needed to read the philosophy of Nietzsche and improve our data to get a more strategic approach to signings. The fan base would like what they heard, particularly as he would offer a ruthless culture to sacking the backroom staff.

The problems would come when people realised that he didn't offer much more than shaking things up and fighting people, all his appointments to the coaching staff would be nonentities chosen for their willingness to be nodding dogs to him, and his signings would reveal a willingness to spend large sums of the club's money on personal pet project players who had agents he knew.

He'd ban the Warrington Guardian from having access to the club on the grounds they were out of touch metropolitan elites and a curious number of new twitter users would appear with names like @Wolves916573671 with stories about the dark secret practices of the Cullen-Smith-Price cabal that need to be rooted out.

In the end the results would still be crap and he would fall out with everyone and quit and go back to his blog.

Re. Watson

Isn't it funny though , a year of two on, that no-one has mentioned that previous coaching 'hot ticket', Daryll Powell.....

I think that we have all seen through Powell's charm offensive

Paul Anderson?

Charm? I'm not sure charm was ever part of the appeal. He always had the demeanour of a 1981 high school PE teacher.
