Cronulla played an exhibition game against the London Broncos ahead of the World Club Challenge. Would have helped how close Broncos were to beating Warrington in middle 8's also.

So whilst it may prove to be a successful combination, there isn't any evidence that Henderson is Price's man. If anything it points more to a bit of succession planning by the club, the two year deal also got me thinking that this may be the case, a question of both of them in the shop window.

Is a two year deal long enough whatever happens next year will still be heavily influenced or perhaps more correctly assessed from the point of view of Smith and Agar?

I suppose by midway through 2019 we will have an idea how well this regime are doing

I'd be happy if Hendo was head coach now..so 2 year shoehorn is more than long enough.

For clarity it wasn't a moan and I'm not unhappy just wondered if the pair of them had history and what was the reasoning behind putting this new team together

I don't think they have. My guess is the club told Price they thought Henderson would be a good fit, Price and Henderson would have had a chat - hopefully in the end Price awas given the final say. KF did suggest Price would be given licence to select his back room team, doesn't mean the club can't throw names in the hat. You would think any Assistant would have to be UK based so Price would need some guidance on possible options.
