AND so the curtain has officially come down on Steve Price's reign as Warrington Wolves head coach.

Last week's play-off loss at the hands of Hull KR was the Australian's final match in charge, bringing to an end a four-year spell in the Halliwell Jones Stadium hotseat.

Highs such as against-the-odds wins over St Helens in both the 2018 Super League semi-final and the following year's Challenge Cup Final were interspersed with lows like exiting the Super League play-offs at the first hurdle for three consecutive seasons.

As he prepares to return to Australia, we can now take a look at his full coaching record in charge of the club...

Price took charge of 116 competitive matches, the first being a 16-12 Super League loss to Leeds Rhinos on February 1, 2018.

Six players – Stefan Ratchford, Tom Lineham Chris Hill, Daryl Clark, Ben Currie, Jack Hughes and Joe Philbin – were in both his first and last Wire 17s.

Price's 116 games in charge encompassed 74 wins, 41 defeats and two draws to give a win percentage of 62.9 per cent.
