No it doesn't - the job needs to be given to the best qualified and most hungry candidate, not to someone who can easily visit his in laws at the weekend.......sentiment should not come into it, that's what (partly) got us into this mess!

Let's be clear - we've just got rid of a good coach. It was undoubtedely the right decision, probably several months too late but he wa a good coach.

Anyone who thinks the likes of Monas, Poching, Briers are remotely qualifed to replace TS are in fantasy land and are doing Tony a disservice.

Similarly, part of the issue was that familiarity bred contempt, and the players showed their contempt for a very talented coach by a series of abject performances. How is someone who has achieved zero going to gain their trust?

We've started with TS but the cull shouldn't end there, and I certainly don't want to add to the current group of ex-players and hangers-on.

Whoever the coach turns out to be he needs to be able to coach rugby & not just how to be "thoroughly nice guys around town".

Have read from a very reliable source that Maguire is considering turning down Gold Coast because he doesn’t want to leave Sydney, nor does his wife, so unlikely he would be at Warrington if that’s to be believed.

Is Barrett a genuine contender, he’s had a great year at Manly, can’t imagine he would want to leave NRL for super league it’s not like he’s struggling?

I wonder how many coaches from around the globe that are currently unemployed or under utilised that will be rubbing their hands together and thinking "Top Job going at Warrington, I will have a piece of that"? I wonder if any have had a word in KFs shell like yet?

Maguire's been offered a job at The Titans & The Knights, so the chances of us getting him are pretty much zero.

We'll speak to a few coaches in the NRL over the next couple of weeks but my moneys on Jason Demitriou.

Wayne Bennett will probably be looking for a new job by December.

Oh goodness me,no. Coaching guru with a stellar career CV he may be, but heaven help us he is one miserable so-and-so. He has a face that would send Barney the Purple Dinosaur into fits of depression.

We could beat Wigan 78-1 in the Grand Final and he'd complain bitterly that we conceded one, before heading off home to listen to Joy Divisions entire back catalogue.

After the Cup Final the other week, a random Australian told me in a London pub that he has trained himself to have lots of power naps throughout the day, including in the dressing room on match days.

It was just before last orders... so I may have made that all up.
