Finding the coach that has our ‘baseball bat’ doesn’t mean we have to play negative rugby though.

It means finding our win at any cost mentality. It means finding the ruthless edge that we lack.

No chance Wayne and his pit come to wire, guy bleeds cherry and white.

We never lost a game where he took over from TS while on breaks.

Just for clarity, I repeat [iI was being flippant[/i. Agar is doing well at Leeds but he isn't ridiculed at Hull and Wakefield without reason.

Gale was great though, positively Patton-esque.

I assume you mean Gale led the Leeds side superbly in a US General George Patton style and not in a mediocre Wire scrum half, Declan Patton one??..

Regardless of the merits of whether this would be the future, I just cannot see Wayne and Warrington joining forces.

Different situations and also coaches learn from past experience.

I remember when we were first linked with Steve Price, after the Dean Pay/Garth Brennan links petered out, some people on here were calling him the "Aussie Agar".

Agar had an unhappy time in his first head coaching appointments....takes over Leeds who had been struggling at the bottom and wins the Challenge Cup in his second season.

Price had an unhappy time at St George-Illawarra....takes over Wire who had been struggling at the bottom and wins the Challenge Cup in his second season.

Perhaps more an indication of the merits of winning a Challenge Cup, than any proof it makes a quality SUPER LEAGUE winning coach?

I think we need to be a bit more realistic about the current financial state of our game.
We and many other clubs will have to be careful before we start sacking staff (with big pay-offs) and throwing money at other coaches & players.
One or two on the forum are in dream land I'm afraid. In fact there are more than one or two.

Agreed. All the more reason to be a little more prudent with our recruitment on the playing staff.

I don't imagine Inglis is coming for pocket money and a chance to sample the delights of the British weather. And don't get me started on however much we're paying Latu.

Even if it was cheap it's still too expensive and a waste of cap space. Regardless of current financial state you have to get the most out of the cap so there is absolutely no point in paying a player you have no intention of playing unless we have a ridiculous list of absentees.

The names Wane, Shaun Wane.

I know some find his eeh-bah-gum moaning a turn off but Powell's tenure at Cas appears to be coming to an end. Perhaps like TS, he has stayed too long and gone stale.

Going from Cas to Wires would be like switching your weekly shop from the food bank to Harrods but he remains something of an unlikeable personality.

Overrated imo
