Does anyone know Jimmy's win/loss record as Warrington coach? (super league games only)

We won 6 of Lowes first 7 games in charge, which earned Lowes his contract extension. We have lost 7 since. So that makes it 6 wins 8 losses, which to be fair is not a bad ratio in the context of Warrington, its a similar record to Cullen's and Van de Veldes.

Before tonight i was all for giving Lowes at least to the end of the season. A coach cant prove himself in 15 or 16 games, but after that shambles tonight i'm hoping Moran & Co have got the money and balls to get rid and bring Hanley in.

No they where not the best 2 coaches in Warringtons history, The style of play under cullen was certainly more watchable than what lowes is serving up and I beleive we are taking massive steps backwards under Lowes

Hard to argue against that - the problem is most people knew it would go this way - so why didn't the board see it?

Agreed with orignal post. Lowes appointment was a knee jerk reaction by the board and remember one joker on the board at the time stating we will appoint a world class experienced coach.

In a way I feel sorry for Lowes as he was thrown in at the deep end with Cullens team. Honeymoon period over, board made the appointment too early and we are now paying the price. Bookies favourite for for the chop, must be evens with Noble at present.

We need a clear out and that starts with the Chairman and through the coaching staff and finishes with the team.

Defensive coach needs to be employed now and players need to take a good look at themselves, those who want to go, need to go now before they ruin the season although i don't agree with the booing on the second game.
