โFormer Dragons coach Steve Price has announced he will leave Warrington at the end of the season,โ The Telegraph's Michael Carayannis said onย 1170 SEN.
โHeโs been there for four or five years now after he was part of Cronullaโs coaching staff having left the Dragons.
โHe won a Challenge Cup over there, but heโs going to see the season out, then come back to Australia and hopefully find a job in the NRL next year.โ

With an overwhelming amount of coaching changeover last season, NRL club's will be hoping to back in their current head coaches in a conservative manner, with Price set to be on the lookout for a new gig for the 2022 NRL season.
Penrith should sign him as an assistant coach. If he doesnโt get a first grade position straight up? Their assistant coaches & lower grade coaches always seem to be in demand lately,
Brennan , when he was a lower grade coach at Penrith. To the Gold Coast first grade.
Barrett, lower grade & assistant coach from Penrith, to Manly & now Bulldogs.
Ciraldo , lower grade & assistant coach at Penrith. Small stint in first grade at Penrith. Now Cronulla are even considering him , as their next first grade coach.
Price as assistant at Penrith. With his Super League achievements. Would then be sure to be offered a first grade role at another club.
