I am surprised that there has been little discussion of Warrrington signing Steven Price as its new coach.

Steven Price has had limited NRL experience and the nearly three years he was in charge of St George-Illawarra were very unsuccessful.

Price's immediate predecessor at St.George-Illawarra, supercoach Wayne Bennnett, for his three years in charge had a 65% win ratio (the same as he has achieved with Brisbane Broncos), and this included a Grand Final win in 2010

From 2012-2014 Price coached 58 games for 21 wins and 37 losses. That amounts to a win ratio of 36%, which is truly poor. No wonder St George-Illawarra sacked him.

Price's successor Paul McGregor has had a 47% win ratio.

Warrington's owner must have panicked when his club was placed in the Middle 8s and threatened with relegation.

So I would be very surprised if Warrington are contending for silverware in 2018.

And now he's let the Wire's only Frenchman go. He's clearly a walking disaster, zero season ticket sales for sure and bottom four finish a certainty.

On the other hand we could just wait and see......

Its warrington. His win record matches theirs. No decent coach in their right mind would touch Warrington with a barge pole so they have to recruit coaches that match their standard

People in glass houses and all that...

Well if no decent coach would touch Warrington, arguably in the top three richest clubs in the country where coaches could pay out top dollar for transfer fees without it denting the club in any way, who is everyone else scratching around for?

Going back to his coaching record at stGeorge, well that was 8 years ago, coaches can improve. as for win ratios they can be deceptive. Brian McDermot at London, shocking low win ratio but nothing to work with, at Leeds the most successful coach ever in super league. Maybe like price their records would have been worst without him. time will tell on what he does at Warrington, but i cants see how a side who finished in middle 8's can go on and be super league champs in one season, ........ oh wait.

Awkward when he has a better CV than your coach Justin Holbrook having won the Grand Final twice as an assistant.

Why must Simon Moran have panicked?

Judge him at the end of the season. Could have been worse, Wire could have hired McNamara

Or even worse promoted Agar.

I'm not convinced by him, but to be fair the side Bennett coached was disintegrating even before Bennett left. That process accelerated after Bennett, and like many GF winners Price was also left with a squad where too many players were being paid way over the odds, limiting his ability to rebuild.

Price is highly rated as an assistant, so in the less pressured environment of SL he could go well.

Can you imagine a McNamara/Agar combination!? I shudder at the thought.

Anyway, what no-one has mentioned so far is the fact that Henderson is assistant. I think this guy is going to have a big effect on the club and do good things. Price we'll have to wait and see about but I think Henderson is the real deal
