Well I hope that if Steve Price decides to take the job on he takes all the criticism from this board on the chin.
Oh wait, he doesnt appear to have one

Hoping no announcement means we're still considering some other options.

Now that's the first thing that's made me smile all day... thank you.

Fortunately Price has been ready-trained in the art of Tony Smith style charisma and 'interview-looking-away' technique... Sky will love us even more than they already do: www.dragons.com.au/news/2014/04/ ... agons.html

Fuck me it's like watching Tony Smith 2.

This 'appointment' isn't right at all.

Heard that the players have been called in this evening.

Heard my sister is in bed with Flu, seriously this is becoming embarrassing, as Lefty says multinationals have been dealt with quicker. Are we now waiting for the only coach without a job, as Bob the kit an been interviewed yet?

I heard that the press conference is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon/evening, just before close of business for the weekend. Michael O'Leary has been brought in to make the announcement to the Warrington public...

Hmm the betting is back up.

Price 2/1
Brennan 9/4 ( please god)
Henry 7/2
Maguire 5/1
Toovey 8/1
Griffin 8/1
Furner 10/1
Agar 50/1

You'd hope IF we have the choice of price and brennan we'd pick brennan. Id be very happy with Brennan.

Price 2-1? Great odds considering it’s an already ‘done deal’.

Price and Agar. The dynamic duo.

Extra training?

The way things are going with all the Aussie coaches rejecting us, Agar at 50-1 might be worth a tenner. We might just be that desperate for an interim solution!

Incidentally, whatever happened to Jason Demetriou? Was he not even considered or did he refuse an interview?

He is in the betting at 10/1

He's one of the favourites for the last NRL job.

On another note. What is Maguire going to do with himself with no job?

Wigan...

Yup. Almost certainly.

I don't know enough about the NRL - why is everyone against Price being the coach? What is his background?

Thanks

Maguire to Wigan Wane to Wire

Maybe we are waiting for Leigh's season to end before announcing Keiron Cunningham?

The last couple of coaching changes felt like there was a plan. Plange goes, Cullen swiftly appointed. Then Lowes always felt like an interim arrangement after Cullen and once Smith's England contract finished we moved quickly to get him.

This time feels more like when DVDV left. Remember that merry saga!

Frank Endacott was the big name linked - his stock at the time was quite high, having been coach of the year the previous year with Wigan and he had done quite well with NZ. Or it was going to be the upcoming high fliers from the lower division, Mike Ford or Neil Kelly, with Gary Mercer and Billy McGinty's names being bandied around too.

The club teased us by telling us they were going to make an announcement and it "would be fair to say it would be someone the supporters would be happy with"....we all waited excitedly. It was Neil Kelly. Hmm, jury's out, but in fairness he had won the NFP grand final with Dewsbury the year before and was on his way to repeating the feat with Widnes, so at least it looked promising.

Then wasn't there something like the club wanted to bring Kelly straight over to assist DVDV for the rest of the season, and DVDV wasn't happy, so he left and Allan Langer suddenly discovered he had a career ending injury that fortunately healed by next season when he signed for Brisbane again. Mercer, who was playing for us at the time and had been one of our better players that season, also soon disappeared after he didn't get the coaching job and signed for Leeds. And then Kelly did a U-turn and said he was going to stay with Widnes.

We were then coachless and had lost a couple of our best players. Suddenly the media latched on to Shaun Edwards who became the new favourite and there was heated debate on the Wire forum at the time about whether we would benefit from "a pure winner" or whether his Wigan connections were too much to handle. Then a few days after that we heard Edwards wasn't going to relocate up north or whatever reason, and there was still no coach...until finally we got the announcement that it was David Plange with Steve Anderson as 'Performance Director'. That turned out well!

We've either been incredibly unlucky or incredibly stupid or both. Sounds like Maguire was sounded out ages ago but was never nailed down.

Then with Pay it would appear that The Dogs acted immediately to get rid of Hasler once there was a potential we could snare him.

But what's plan C if the others were plan A and B?
Sounds like we've just gone after the first aussie accent to declare an interest.
