I don't understand some people's hostility on here towards Justin Holbrook. He came into Saints and turned a toxic environment into an incredibly positive environment really quickly. It strikes me that this is exactly what Warrington needs.

Is there much if any hostility to Holbrook? I’d imagine he’s the first choice of about 90% of Wire fans. There’s the odd John Kear fan out there of course but I think Holbrook signing would be greeted with almost unanimous positivity.

Just for interest Holbrook is the 6/4 favourite with BetFred. Justin Morgan is 5/1 whilst Michael Monaghan is a big 25/1. Ducky can get odds off 100/1 for John Kear although I'm sure it should be 1000/1.

Some interesting Names, I don't know much about some of the Aussie coaches. Not sure I would want Justin Morgan though. The 100-1 shot made me laugh.

A name which is strangely missing from that list is Paul Anderson.

Remember when he was at Huddersfield, he improved them from where they'd been under Nathan Brown. Had them winning the League Leaders' Shield. Huddersfield! Nobody else has looked close to doing that. He had one bad half season and they sacked him.

Did Super League give up on him too early as a head coach?

Didn't he join our coaching staff at one point?

Surprised that Jason Ryles is not on that list. He is at the point where the next step would be head coach of a super league club before getting a head coaches job in the NRL.
Pretty sure he is back at the storm as assistant to Bellamy.

No he is at the Roosters now, he's agreed a deal for 2024 to return to Storm as assistant so he's a no go.

Re: New Coach : Mon Jul 31, 2023 11:57 am  

Just stuck £10 on Monaghan, not because I want him just that I like the 25/1 odds and a fair few on here would be happy for him to take the role.

Yes, Academy Head Coach prior to joining the England pathways set up in 2022.
