Are all without jobs. ...

Geoff Toovey is at relegated Bradford

And we are about to land a bloke that had a 36% win record at a club that hadn't long won the league.

It's not a great signing at all.

The only thing not tipping me over the edge is at least it's not Laurie Daley.

The fact Wayne Bennett thought highly of him means nothing. Alex Ferguson thought highly of David Moyes too.

Prisoner Cell Block H. Classic 80s Aussie cultural icon. What price for a Bea Smith or 'Freak' Ferguson enforcing from the front row.... "Ya bleddy betch!" (Sound of big clothes press slamming on someone's hand)...

'All this waiting is making me feel a bit crook Bea'

Have you been living on a different planet for the last few weeks? We wanted Maguire, he won't leave Aus. Probably the same for the other two.

Hasler will be too busy handling his court case I expect

I'd have thought that could have been established through a few phonecalls, rather than a madcap dash down under.

Agreed. Ridiculous to think we just landed with a blank piece of paper and no idea of intentions.

The trip to Australia is looking like a complete waste of money.

I agree that it is "ridiculous to think that we just landed with a blank piece of paper and no idea of intentions". Are you stating that is what actually happened, or quite correctly IMO that it would be ridiculous to think that?

So if we safely say it's Price who's got the gig then what next. What happens to all the current background and support staff/coaches etc. Are they gone?

Who will be assistant? Surely Agar can't keep his job can he? Will price bring aussie staff over?

We have 9 players who have left. Massive rebuilding job on.

I've no idea what actually has happened but I find it incomprehensible that we didn't know who was interested in the role before flying out to meet them. I'm quite sure we would have tele/Skype pre screened many candidates beforehand. We've got to have done, surely, right, it's just logical?

To hear stories that Brennan and Maguire don't want to move to England just makes me mad. Not at them but at us for not knowing this already.

Feels very very amateurish.

Are you privy to Fitzpatrick's itinerary? Maybe you are you suggesting that he jumped on the next available flight by Keystone Cops Airline (hopefully strapped to the wing of a bi plane rather than travelling in an Emirates seat) clutching a blank piece of paper from Moran with a simple heading "Find a coach, any coach and if it's not the one we talked about in the pub yesterday stay out of sight at least they'll all think that you are trying your best?

I'm sure that there would have been contact before Karl's "madcap dash", but, serious intent does require a bit more than "Hello it's the Warrington Wolves here have you got five minutes for a chat". Imagine the furore, if our intrepid CEO hadn't manged to get his backside over there and we found out later that for example some people's favourite, Maguire would have considered our offer if only....

Reading your posts is like somebody who has a dot to dot puzzle consisting of 2 dots and coming to the conclusion that its an elephant.
How do you get so het up about made up stuff?

What is made up?

Price

Yes because the club went to Aus solely to get Maguire.

Must have missed them interviewing Pay and us appointing Price.

Can't be an elephant hook, it's already left the room

Spot on can't argue with any of that, whether it's 'the Price is right' or not it applies to whoever came in unless it was going to be an internal appointment

They will more than likely all leave paving the way for Price to bring his own staff in, I'd have thought.

Let's look at it more realistically it's effectively 7 players leaving who should be leaving. The exceptions being Hiku and Saveilo.

I think we're a winger, halfback, prop and interchange nine short but the core of our team is still pretty good with the likes of; Ratchford, Lineham, Atkins, Hill, Clark, Currie, Cooper, Westerman, Westwood.

Wirefan, as someone stated elsewhere despite the negative and positive posting stances we all generally want the same thing don't we?

At the moment, the first eight words of your first sentence sum up the situation perfectly, probably for everyone on here.

Dare say all that will form discussions with the new coach

However the biggest challenge for the club could be winning back it's demoralised fan base.

I am the eternal optimist. No news is good news right! I've been bathing in all this good news for weeks now.

The average gate for 2017 held up surprisingly well ( I thought) considering the difficult season we had - 10.5k vs 11k in 2016 when we got to the two finals. ST ticket holders who are a 'no show' in the seated areas are counted, but not in the standing areas, I understand. But I strongly suspect that the majority of people are holding off purchasing atm because they want some indication of intent from the club. So the pressure is now on KF to bring over a good quality name as coach and for the recruitment of a real star or two for the 2018 squad. If people see that my guess would be that they will happily re-sign. Trouble is...... will it happen ?

Lineham and Ratchford. Are you kidding?????

The first is an absolute waste of time, effort and space and the second a fancy Dan who flatters to deceive.
