For me, I feel this could be the most important game of our season. Struggling for form and just off the back of a hiding from Leeds where we looked like we would have struggled to get past a pub team.

The response we put out on Friday will show us exactly what sort or character, pride and passion this current first team has for the club.

for me, it will also confirm Price's job. If he can't get the players to turn last week around into a full 80 minute ruthless performance then it's time the club part ways with him.

If we get pipped by an unlucky bounce or a DG or a pice of individual magic I can deal with that, it's the manner in which we win and lose that interests me; but another game of conservative, 1-up, 2 attacking option, 5 drives and a kick low risk rugby will tell me everything I need to know about Price, his tactics, his man management and his leadership.

Ashton out long-term, D Clark likely out for Friday.

Even so, we have a squad on paper that should win comfortably. Anything less than a comfortable win, with the motivation we should have from last week, will surely be a sign that this season's league campaign has ended. I have no doubt we'd see a resurgence in the cup run as it's a fresh start but that won't please me, nor most fans.

The last 12 months has seen me at my most apathetic concerning Warrington and RL in general. I had a brief pick-me-up for the first two games, but now I'm less interested than ever. Shame. I'll look to the future anyway.

I [ihope[/i it's viewed as make or break by those that do the hiring and firing but I'm yet to be convinced they have the balls to do the right thing.

Cas will smell blood and Trueman & Richardson will run riot unless we find a Saints-esque performance.

The squallid, dirty, guilty truth is if we get a pummeling and the board take action then another defeat is collateral damage. I'd take it so we can try and salvage the season.

I can't see anything other than a comfortable cas win. I'd really hope the players will be itching to show that last week wasn't them but even so the coaching and playing style won't allow for us to be anything other than frustrating. I expect to be reading that cas were the better of the teams in terms of entertainment regardless of the result.

The worst thing that can happen for Warrington in my opinion is that we start posting form like WLWLLWLWL etc as that will be enough to keep Price in charge and to ensure nothing changes.

The similarities with the Castleford 28-36 evening game of 17/4/2008 is striking.

If getting battered something like 30+ to 0 means Price get's the sack then bring it on, get him gone put Briers in as a caretaker coach whilst looking for someone to bring in.

I would hope that the team put in a good performance but I cannot see it based of the last couple of games.

Cas at home was the fixture that put Paul Cullen out of his job...and Monaghan who disliked him was the guy who pulled the trigger pass.
Does anyone at Wire dislike Price as much as MM did PC?

Shall we have a sweepstakes on who makes the error that loses him his job?

Cas by 24.

Feckin hell....he’ll be gone by ht in that case.

Blimey can we narrow it down a bit? The only one I'd say won't make an error is Matty Ashton because he's guranteed not to play, the rest take your pick they're all as culpable.

However in the spirit of things I'll say Colonel Mustard, in the library with a lead pipe or rather Chris Hill, round the head with a yellow card.

I’ll set one up later. I’ll reserve you Hill.

You win an internet cookie for making me chuckle

Shame if Clark doesn't play, the battle between him and McShane would be well worth watching.

Ratchford fumble/loose carry

Did dean Sampson come out of retirement and show up our pack in that game?

Surely a heavy loss to bang average cas team should make the wire hierarchy sit up and do something with Mr price..as to who's available I haven't got a clue.but something's got to happen but then again the hierarchy are equally to blame in my book

Let's not forget, we scoured Australia for the best available coach, and ended up with Price.

Not convinced there's much out there in the talent pool to make a significant difference (unless Wane want to wear two hats, but his team's playing style at Wigan wasn't great either)

Maybe that's the problem. When we need to recruit, whether it's a marquee player or a coach, it's all aboard the nearest Quantas flight to.see which barrel needs scraping.

Did we actually enquire about or short list anyone from the UK? There's talent out there. We found our most potent attacker on the wing at Swinton.

I'd rather give Henderson or Simon Grix a punt then some bloke who tops the list becausr he's from Wagga Wagga.

Agree 100%.... this 'go to australia' mindset for a coach isnt for me after price.

lets give a young British coach a chance.... or someone steeped in the British game.... I dont want to fly someone in again.

We need someone that's well respected by players.... someone that can get them onside and build a real team spirit... Something we have been lacking for along time.

Rumour has it that Price and Austin have had some cross words.....

Well Austin can cut the billy big balls after his recent, dreadful, displays.

Do you know if this was before or after the Leeds game?

Anything in the rumour that Austin has asked for a release Longbarn?

I reckon this is the issue, after the Wigan and Saints games I think Austin wanted to continue at 7 with Ratchford at 6.
Price has overruled this to bring in Widdop At 7.

Price has well and truly lost the dressing room in my opinion, who would want to play the style of rugby he is instructing the players to do? Its dull, predictable and has been for nearly a year. Hope the crowd turns on Friday if we get stuffed it would be thoroughly deserved and should make the board act.
