To be fair to Price he's got a better pedigree than Pay, Furner and Brennan.

Assistant coach of the current premiers, has been a first team coach, Wayne Bennett's apprentice.

Ffs. Aussie Richard Agar

Don't know what to make of it. I'm a bit deflated about it tbh, then again he was not the choice I was hoping for, but if he is the one they hey ho lets go. More importantly though I'm also hoping for news on any signings.

I agree - I just got a fuzzy feeling that Pay could do to us what Maguire did to Wigan.

But as I say, clean slate and looking forward to the transitional season with hopefully a competitive squad by 2019. Onwards and upwards.

wtfs happened to brennan, he's disapeared out the picture

We could have the Aussie Agar and his assistant the UK Agar!!!

I wonder what the collective noun would be for 2 Agars.

Maybe 'brace' as in yourself.

The collective term is a Fubar

Perhaps "clutch" as in straws

A 'clunge' of Agars.

2 Agars......a pair of them.....Bollocks comes to mind!

I didn't type the word rubbish...mine began with b and ended in ocks

I never really followed the nrl to closely, what was price record as a coach like? Surely he must have players lined up to come over before he commited to the job as to not tarnish his reputation. Hopefully a quality half back for starters

Well I'd guess that Maloney has turned us down if that rumour was actually true. Maybe by some miracle Price could convince him to come over as he worked with him at Cronulla. That deal was probably the rejected offer that KF alluded to previously at the fans forum.

Talkng of fans forum, the minutes are on the website from the last meeting.

Lol. That is funny.

Won 21 out of 58 including some embarrassing defeats. I think it's a shocking appointment personally the more I read about him. Why we've gone for him over Brennan is a mystery.

I was hoping for a renewed feeling of optimism and have been following the news with interest hoping for a clean slate and fresh start but with this appointment I just feel completely flat.

So, does Steve Price boast a good CV seeing as he had got the job?

Think aussie version of Steve McCormack and Richard Agar and you have your answer Wires 71

Playing career cut short by injury and went into coaching early. Never won anything as a reserve team coach then got the gig at St George after Bennet left. 36% win ratio then sacked.

Been at Cronulla as assistant more recently.

I see. Not an illustrious CV then, but he'll get all the backing he could wish for and an opportunity to make a name for himself.

Thanks. Some of that sounds very familiar - losing dressing room/failing to respond/heavy defeats.

Its official Dean Pay got the Canterbury job.

Still nothing online - anyone bought a Guardian yet today?

Just looked on NRL website and it is announced Pay has signed up with the Dogs for 2 years.

Every single news report on Steve Price is negative. From losing the dressing room to random starting line ups. Trying to imitate Wayne Bennet in press conferences. Heavy losses. Not able to do anything with an exceptional roster etc.

I'm sorry but his appointment is not right, before it's even begun.

Mark my words this won't last. He'll be gone before summer 2018.
