mate i understand everything you have said. But honestly, it's pretty much throwing price to the slaughter house. To follow Wayne Bennett we need an experienced coach. Not a young coach who's career could fade away if he fails. Which is a likely outcome. I just dont see any benefit for him or the club in the long term. We need an experienced coach who can attract new players. We need a coach that can keep the buzz surrounding the dragons alive. Commercially i think giving Price the job is an even bigger mistake. We've hit record memberships, we're selling more merchandise than ever before. I put this down to the fact Wayne Bennett has brought credibility, excitement and of course a premiership. Rugby League fans can be very fickle. To assume the hype and excitement will continue with Price is stupid. This decision needs to be more than just on the field. We need someone like Bellamy, Sheens, Mcguire, Potter. As i said, i like Price. But i can't see him at this stage havinh the man management skills to distance himself from the players as a voice of authority. Will the players look up to Price? Will they hang off every word? Will Price demand their respect? IMO, no. Why would we move away from the one thing that has brought us success in the last 31 years!!!!!!!!! Answer me that, please........it makes no sense other than that Doust was not able to attract another coach. Therefore we are forced to settle for Price. Simple.
