Agreed, Hence why I'm reversing judgment. Or reserving judgment. Or preserving judgement reversing, or servicing....
I'm not persevering with this.

Perhaps it was a typo by Mr Red... instead of "I'm reserving judgment until round 8" what he meant to type was the similar: "I'm not reversing judgment until round 8"

Considering 2 of the losses were in Melbourne and canberra, where we never win, and that he's lost Stanley, Weyman, King and now Beale to injury, Price is not doing too bad at all

yes well said..
not reversing my judgement is a more accurate way to state it..
thanks!

After the shit I was giving Price 3 rounds ago, I'm gonna look fair-weathered. But I think from what he's done in the last 3 rounds he deserves another 2 years, more chance to get the roster the way he sees it should be.

Don't regret what I said though. There was no indication that there was any change coming.

Don't these idiots ever learn? The same thing used to happen with Brown and they kept extending his contract. What a debacle that turned out to be. If they want to extend his contract, wait until the end of the season to see how the team goes. I'm sure there is no other team waiting in the wings to poach him

It can't be left to the end of the season, whatever the decision is.

I get the feeling the club is waiting on the Sharks board elections with a view to moving on Shane Flanagan. If Flanagan stays at Cronulla, I don't see a better option out there than Price. Hopefully it dpesn't drag out much beyond that

Honestly I'm not a big fan of Flanagan other than his rapport with players, he is a big whinger who makes excuses for losing rather than copping it on the chin.

I'm happy to see the club settle the coaching issue so that we can sign the players the coach see's fit.

Steve Price has to get Saints to play decent footy and make the 8 to be consider for resigning. Having pressure on him so far has maybe helped him turn the corner this month. Long way to go in the season.

Is that why Price hasn't got a chin:lol:
Lol.

I've said all along that calls to cut Price adrift last season were well and truly premature, and that a decision needed to be made based on whether he could show improvement this season. However, having said that, let me say this (always wanted to do that), an extension now would also be premature.

Whilst I agree that we can't wait till the end of the season, the club still needs to be able to see that given his head he can elicit some improvement over time. He has had a disjointed start, starting the season without Weyman and then Style, and losing Beale for the entirety and King for another stint. Yet he has managed that ok so far.

Some decent signings would be a nice fillip for the poor bastard. He hasn't been given anything overly fantastic to work with. A bit of a bolster to the roster would be great for all us, particularly Price.

It is obvious this season that the team is responding to his coaching.There is nothing wrong with instilling confidence in the squad and this will also benefit in recruiting players.

It's early days
Nobody is going to be wanting to offer Price a bundle to go elsewhere
I would be waiting until we're in the eight or not before deciding
Making the 8 is a pass IMO but new signings would be also required for more than one additional year unless we're say top 6 then a two year extension is warranted.
The board has always had faith in Price as a coach, it has been his lack of ability to garner new recruits that has seen them looking at options

The attacking style and determination in defence displayed by the Dragons in their games against the Knights and the Sharks were the result of employing outside assistance and should not be attributed to the magic of Price. Indeed this new style of play was thrown out the window last weekend.

I'd be very surprised if the Board is considering to offer Price an extension at this point in time.

In my opinion there is a greater chance of the Board signing the current Australian coach soon after the ANZAC Day test.

Then sign him tomorrow, because we're in 8th place now baby!!
