Is new coach. Three year deal

New coach of fax. I think this could be a very good choice. He has been on coaching staff at Warrington for 6 years and will have learned a lot of good things. Glad it's not one of the oldies like kear or nobby. Some one young with fresh ideas.

Time will tell, but I have a good feeling about this.

Welcome Richard. Imppressed in interviews lets hope he impresses in the Job. Sadly he will inherit a Team mostly from karls Players rather than being able to bring in many of his own choices. I hope us fans give him some time to change things and dont expect miracles or demand him sacked if we lose a game or two! Next year will be tough enough and we Need to start backing him rather than going against him. Is he the new saviour that will get us in to SL? No probably and People Need to realise that we are far away from that and it will take time to get even Close to that if at all.

Welcome to Fax Richard.

Welcome Richard!! Warrington are one of my favourite Super League sides and are (nearly) always entertaining to watch (apart from when they play like they did against Widnes in the 1st 'alf last week). I hope he can bring back some of that entertaining and skillful play to the Shay and get this team firing on all cylinders again. I see in the Courier Sir Ian Croad mentions we have some players budget remaining so I hope Richard does the right thing and signs Ben Westwood and Michael Monaghan. Perhaps persuade Tony Smith to allow Ratchford to join us on a 7 season long loan? That guy is class!

welcome back.

welcome to the Club. Good to see the board have appointed a young coach. On the above 'Sadly he will inherit a Team mostly from karls Players' At the start of season we had a good squad on paper and should have performed better than we did and I think we agree it was down to the coaching and tactics not necessarily the ability of the players. Look how good the players were before coming to Fax and how they play after leaving us!

Anyway new era and looking forward to next season. Best go buy my season ticket....Oh I already have !

I think he will be a very good appointment. He comes across as a very articulate, intelligent and knowledgeable person. I think he will fit in well at the Shay. See youtube interview from a couple of years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laDydQLxbbk

I agree, we looked to have a decent squad last season, and we did finish 3rd so hopefully a new coach and better gameplan and style of play we will do OK.

Good luck Richard, I hope you achieve your potential at Fax.

Being the only person in the world without Sky I can not comment on the merits of Richard.
All I can say is that we should all respect the boards decision and get behind the new coach as well as we did when Karl was appointed.
Hopefully this time it will turn out better.
Looking forward to next season (mind you I always do)
