Here is another 'FACT'.

We have a coach with a win ratio that is the worst in the joint ventures history, and staring down missing the finals consecutively for the first time ever.

Who cares what has gone on behind the scenes? Price hasn't proven he is an average coach, let alone a good one. What we have is two people who are obviously at odds with each other, why that is really is irrelevant. The rumours about their relationship existed well before Price was even made coach. The whole team is playing poorly and personality clashes are causing a player to be dropped, it won't change the fortunes for the rest of the squad unless they lift their game massively.

Crap anyone who has coached the game will tell you having good cattle creates a good coach. Price simply does not have the cattle also the club is struggling in the depth department as well. lets see how he goes after 12 games next year then be the judge, If he does not perform the club has Tim Sheens on stand by.

Having good cattle makes an average coach. Having good cattle, and being a good motivator and strategist makes you a good coach. Our cattle over the last couple of years also hasn't been that bad. How many rep players did we have last year? How many do we have this year? There are a lot worse squads in the comp.

Actual results or where you sit on the table really is irrelevant however. He's taken a bunch of seasoned NRL players into a bunch of guys who don't know what each other are doing, taken a brick wall, cohesive defensive unit to one that lets in soft try after soft try. Then you have the sheer amount of unforced errors the team is capable of coming up with.

The team looks poorly drilled, irrespective of your opinion of their skillset. Good coaches still make teams with less talent look like a cohesive unit, there is nothing of the sort coming out of the sheds from Price. They are disorganised, incapable of building pressure, weak defensively and offensively, mistake riddled and devoid of ideas.

The bit in bold is what im referring too, obviously issues behind the scenes but some on here keep trying to argue its not the case.

This is what was said last year and look where we are now.

I am very interested in knowing who you think is not good cattle in our first grade roster. Who would you get rid of and who would you replace them with?

For mine I'd have Thurston and Benji in the halves, Folau and Jennings in the centres, with JMoz in the Cutters as a replacement just in case.
Then I'd get Kasiano and Mautalino, and clone a Burgess boy for good measure.
Wddop can sit on the bench cause he looks ok and the girls probably like him.

Look boss, the plaaane, the plaaaane.

Yep. Merged into other thread

Godz, not that i mind, but how is it not confirmed when his manager quotes

"We feel it would be good for Jamie to start afresh in England, before he returns to Penrith. There are several Super League clubs showing interest to have Jamie on board for the rest of this year."

Maybe we dont know which club, but the indication is he is definitely going to the UK.

Anyway happy to have it merged, just curious as to how to classify a statement as being "confirmed".

It's confirmed when Jamie signs with a club. All the manager has confirmed is an interest in pursuing English offers

Pretty much as grouch states above. When he actually signs with a new club. Otherwise it's still speculatory

Do you think they might be trying to swap Soward for Rangi Chase?
