It's an interim solution, not the long term one. I wish them well, and just hope that the players give what the club and supporters deserve, from Friday, onwards.

| I wonder if Warrington will ever be any more than a roller coaster club who can be classed as there or there-abouts. I've watched since the sixties & they have never continuously set the world alight even though we have had plenty of magnificent wins in that time. I have never really expected them to become a club that will build a dynasty & can't see that happening anytime soon. With what players are available it could well be a hard slog for whichever coach we get & maybe a couple of locals maybe more prepared for long term rebuilding than a fly by night Aussie.

Rumours, rumours & more rumours. Best to find out first before passing it along the line ... there are gullible fools about who will swallow anything.

Well why do you reply then, why don’t you go find out for us all instead of moaning.

| He's injured. Passing on unsubstantiated rumours/tittle tattle is not helpful to the club ... hence my comments.

| From the interview with Middleton it seemed to me they were happy with KFP from a commercial point of view, he talked about possibly giving Powell 100% leeway on signings was a mistake and that KFP has made mistakes with that in the past.
I just wonder if they are considering a Director of Rugby, and if so would Chambers be in with a shout? He seems well respected within the club and seems to have done a decent job with the youth structure so far - presumably something a Director of Rugby would continue to be in charge of?

Is he really injured, or are you just spreading a rumour?

Really? Usually I’m accused of being too positive. It’s true though I often have a different point of view to you, I can handle that…

I have made a pledge never to moan again & hopefully I never will.
Unless of course someone comes up with a pile of cr*p which is meant to damage the club.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. Our current coaching team are under relatively less pressure & I hope they enjoy the unique coaching situation that they find themselves in.
Good luck Chambers & Marshall, all our players & all true Wire fans.

We still are at the top table, the problem is we're usually on the menu.

Indeed, the game moves on.
If teams stayed dominant forever, then Batley, Dewsbury and Swinton would still be the top teams in Rugby League.

| The break now should help them get across what they want by the Leeds game, and they should get no time off and start to train how to become a team again.

| Quote ="sally cinnamon"Back in the day we used to have good backs-against-the-wall performances when a caretaker coach came in.
Remember when Dorahy left, and we put Alex Murphy and Paul Cullen in charge for a game at Wilderspool against Wigan, and Nigel Vagana blitzed them with a hat-trick. One of my favourite Wire games of the 1990s. I remember the build up and hype about that game being unusually high and I had a feeling all week that we would win.
The one I didn't expect to win was after DVDV left and then Neil Kelly who was supposed to be taking over, changed his mind and re-signed with Widnes. Paul Darbyshire took charge against Bradford who were at their most dominant and we beat them in a night game on Sky with Rob Smyth running the winning try into the corner near the end.'"
That being the game that was due to be shown by BSKYB, they pulled out 24 hrs before expected a landslide result.
The game they switched to was a landslide result. Ours s classic.

That wasn't the one.
The Vagana game was 1997
The one Sky welched on, was 4 years later. But you were right about one thing. IT WAS A CLASSIC. A Briers/Langer masterclass
