There's plenty of coaches/managers who have checkered histories who get top jobs in many sports. People soon forget if success follows if it's failure it will all be brought up.

He took over from Paul Cullen as a temporary coach, he had a run of 7 consecutive wins and was given the coaching position, in 2009 he had a loss of 3 games after a poor finish in 2008 and was replaced by Tony Smith.

Expecting a cracker, can't wait to see what DB wears, Leigh to edge it but it's a flip of a coin.

History tells you that no matter how dire Warrington have been at various times in their existence they have never been relegated. So history gives you an understanding that they are not the best side ever but they always do enough to survive. And anyone who ignores the lessons history tells us is usually doomed to failure. (Not you personally)

Yes being reported in Warrington guardian that Gleeson is an assistant coach. Be heck of a Xmas party.

It's okay we managed to stay in the top division for all of our history without help.

Is there a plot to be lost. As already stated I am getting strapped in holding on tight and looking forward to the experience. Who's laughing at the end time will tell.

Thanks

Cheers

With Paul Wellens and Paul Rowley being brought to the RFL over comments on referees and the match review committee is it now more important for the RFL to come down hard on coaches who publicly do this. It doesn't help when coaches have double standards, previously playing down incidents that their own players do or when decision go for them and help them win games.

I agree, Peet was more of a gamble.

In your opinion, time will tell, there will be thousands of people drawing on their vast experience and denouncing this as at best a publicity stunt or saying how can anyone employ someone with his record (off field). They maybe right but we will only find out in time.

He had no playing experience at the pro level and worked in lower levels, name me any modern coaches who have used the same path. He is doing okay but to try and imply that Wigan didn't take a gamble is simply wrong. You could say it's one of the biggest gambles far more than burgess.

For two years how I wish I was that bored rather than bordering on depressed.

I've read local reports of fans refusing renewal of season tickets, well I was going to be one until now, I will definitely renew now, this is going to be fun.

Needs to merge both topics.

Look Dave if you are pessimistic you drive yourself daft, like I have previously wrote the tried and tested (best British coach) failed big style. So how will repeating that mean it's going to work.Now this is going to be one hell of a ride, so belt up hold on tight and enjoy the experience.(how's that for being positive)

Well that approach didn't work with Powell so let's try this, I seem to remember all the comments on Peet having no experience as a coach or player.

So it looks like Long will take over Warrington for the last part of this season until Sam burgess arrives and then become assistant.

Would be an improvement.

Everyone said Powell was the right choice, experience,the best British coach ,how did that work out. So I am open minded but if Sam is the coach he needs a good team around him.

Is it a general problem or a game one, the size of you forwards looks smaller and smaller, I think the last decent size forward was Currie who came out of the junior ranks every one I see now or recently given games in the first team look really small. Are players like big Alex)saints) or Chris hill the exception because down under most backlines are bigger than SL packs. I am in my 60s and played at 6feet 2 and between 16 to 18 stone (and we were only just playing around with weights. And I was the norm in amateur rugby , I have watched a couple of NCL games and the average size is a lot smaller and society says we are getting bigger. So what's happening to the larger athletes.

Agree with were the team is this season but we can't ignore other issues like success of major signings (or failure) you can all make errors but if you make more mistakes eventually you need to look at the common factors.And the coach is not the common factor. Even Smith made bad signings but made more good signings.

It's not the main board, the three main backers (including the chairman) have put their money we're their mouths are for years whilst the CEO has been involved more with the day to day including coaches and involved with recruitment (maybe not in choosing but in negotiations). No decent Warrington fan could criticise to he main three backers. It's that reason the CEO is under scrutiny from fans.
