Sadly I think we will talking about the same subject at the end of next season before we see a sacking or resignation

Get McDermot in now

Are you saying he's not left yet? Give over, he must have.

My point was questioning the size of the chunk. If it is a big chunk then fair enough off with Price but when I have heard him interviewed he exudes more enthusiasm and insight than Price ever does. If in fact he has effectively been sidelined then I might think of him as a possible successor. If he is materially responsible for the debacle than I agree he should go as well.

The ‘big’ coaches are hard to come by, Wane would be number 1, but he won’t walk away from a fight and that fight is England.

McDermott is a strange one, even with an excellent team he managed to turn out some mediocre seasons. That group of Sinfield, Burrow, McGuire, Peacock etc doesn’t take much coaching, with the foundations being laid by far better coaches before him.

Watson has done a great job with a small budget and has proved he can make players better. He would be the best choice, especially in times when spending is likely to slow down.

There are also very good coaches with a strong affinity with the club around and potentially looking for a crack at the job. Matt King is highly thought of in Aus and part of the successful Rooster & NSW coaching teams. Michael Monaghan is back at Manly as a part of a project to rebuild the club under Hasler. And Brett Hodgson (if he’s not signed up at Hull already) has served under McGuire at Wests.

But I think Richard Marshall should be a shrewd choice if Wane isn’t available. He was a key part of Smith’s successful era, took Halifax to the brink of the super league with no budget and has been at Saints under Holbrook and this season.

If you can tell me what the division of responsibilities are, eg selection, plays, substitutes. Then tell me how often Price over ruled Henderson then I would be able to assess the degree of responsibility. Without that it is pure guesswork.
Have you never made a suggestion to your boss to fix an obvious problem and been over ruled? Did you resign or think “oh well, I’ll document it and when she gets the push I’ll apply for her job”?
Look back to Saints under KC, Long was assistant. Cunningham got the push, Long stayed on under Holbrook and they were successful.
Nope, the top man shoulders the blame.

Watson moving from Salford to Hudds is at best a sideways step if not backward. How can we let this happen? He has proven himself to be able to mould a team of cast offs into a team that's beaten us more than any other team in the last couple of years. Allowing him to move to Hudds is dereliction of duty from KP. If he doesn't want to come to us then that's a different matter. IMO if Watson moves to Hudds he lacks self belief that he can become a top 4 coach as Hudds set up believe that the Senior brothers are superleague standard!

I understand Dominic Cummings has some time on his hands.
