Sadly there is the issues of contracts - my understanding was Ablett was given a two year contract so he will be here next year regardless of the coach - same goes for a number in the squad. Lolohea & Crosby has two years left after this one seldom plays - and the other doesn't appear to be either fit or good enough - what can a new coach do in a salary cap sport.

Have to ask, this not moving contracted players on, its not impossible. Warrington refreshed our squad in 2015/16 and moved a number of players out that werent in smiths plans.



Jonas went to cas with 12 month left on a contract, chris bridge was shown the door with 2 years left and both james laithwaite and gary wheeler went before their deals expired.

Requires owners with deep pockets. Leeds I think must now realise they need to do the same

I think we have to be imaginative. Also when push comes to shove in some cases we just need these guys away from the club. If we have to pay their salary but they are either a bad dressing room influence or just comically bad then we may as well pay them to play for someone on loan and put a kid in the team instead.



Whilst some of the older players (e.g. Cuthbertson) might be happy to just take the coin and run out their contracts, some younger players might decide that the long-term impact of dropping into the Championship (or lower) after being deemed surplus in a dreadful SL side might be worse than trying to move whilst they still retain some market value. Not to mention self respect and some kind of urge to be seen to be good players.

after residing out of the country for over ten years I had to go on a waiting list for a seat season ticket .I was under the impression they would inform me when seats came available and would be given an opportunity to upgrade . All ive got is a chance to sit down for the opening of the North stand and take in the "carnival "atmosphere . I'm going to call in today and ask can I have a seat for rest of season because my old knees cant stand for over two hours any more .

This whole "carnival" atmosphere is going to massively backfire on this club come 9:30 pm on Thursday. They have lost the plot big time here.

Perhaps they will unveil our new coach and a proper 6 ?

I know dream on!

McGuire unveiled by new permanent head coach Richard Agar?

I feel your pain, I can't do long stints of standing anymore either. Hope you get decent seats

Cheers yes I'm in southstand ,but I told them I expected to be informed when Seats became available. No answer but I. Fairness nothing to do with the office staff

Mr Hetherington you can now stop emailing me trying to get me to be part of history for the opening of the Northstand. I've now upgraded to a Southstand seat I'm not interested in slideshows. Tonight I want to see some Effort and heart that's all I'm bothered about

Plenty of South stand seats available next season !!! based on player performance !
